The golden demon also asked in surprise: "Black coral is more precious than red coral?"
Han Peacock shook his head and said: "Corals cannot be compared like this. In fact, there are many types of corals, which can be divided into white corals, light pink or dark corals, pink corals, and black corals can be seen in Hawaii, which are also called sea trees. Among them,
Red coral, blue coral and black coral are the most precious."
"Coral actually has so many colors?" Huangshan asked in surprise.
The golden demon sneered: "You don't think it's just a kind of red coral, do you?"
When Huangshan saw that he was laughed at by the golden demon, he immediately fell silent. He would be wrong if he spoke too much. It would be better not to say anything now.
The Korean peacock smiled and said nothing. Hawaii is indeed a good place. There are not only black corals, but also blue corals. These Korean peacocks have not seen them a few times. Since they are going this time, they must see them.

Hawaii is located in the North Pacific and consists of more than 130 islands. It stretches across the North Pacific in an arc with a length of 1,500 miles.
It is close to the Tropic of Cancer and forms the northern front of the Polynesian Islands. At the same time, it is in the southernmost part of the United States, at the same latitude as Mexico City, Hainan, and Calcutta.
It's hard to find a tropical environment as completely relaxing as Hawaii in the world.
The Hawaiian Islands are composed of eight volcanic islands, namely the Big Island of Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Niihau, Molokai, Lana, and Kahoolawe.
When Han Kongque and the others arrived, it was already evening. The winding coast was dotted with pineapple trees and palm trees, nestled against rugged green mountain roads. The warm sea surface reflected the gorgeous sunset, which was scattered under the colorful umbrellas scattered on the shore.
Bring out the mellow aroma of exotic wine...
Hawaii is indeed the paradise that most people dream of.
Looking at the people on the beach, Han Peacock suddenly realized that Hawaii is indeed synonymous with romance and the first choice for honeymoon.
When you get here, stroll among the sand and shadows of the coconut trees on the beach, relax and enjoy the sunshine and sand. Those who love thrills and excitement can enjoy passionate surfing and underwater exploration.
For leisure, you can also take a classic Hawaii island tour, with unobstructed views of Diamond Head and volcanic islands.
Chen Qing and the others did not wait for Han Peacock. Instead, they climbed up Diamond Mountain before Han Peacock arrived. Now Han Peacock needed to go and meet them.
Of course, Diamond Mountain is not a mountain that produces diamonds, but a mountain that looks like diamonds, which is regarded as the symbol of Hawaii Island.
Diamond Head is located in Honolulu, Oahu, in the Hawaiian Islands. This nature reserve is a symbol of Hawaii. It can be seen in many paintings and can be seen while sitting on Waikiki Beach.
It is said that Captain Cook, the first Englishman to discover the Hawaiian Islands, saw a blue light emitting from the entire mountain at night, shining like a sapphire. He thought he had discovered a diamond, so he called it Diamond Mountain. The local Chinese thought it looked like a sapphire.
Wolong.
Diamond Head is an extinct volcano that is said to be the home of Pele, the goddess of fire.
The Diamond Mountain crater was formed more than 100,000 years ago. The crater is 2 meters high. It was used as a military lookout in the early 19th century and was named a national nature reserve in 1968.
About two million years ago, after the entire island of Oahu was formed, some small volcanoes on the island began to erupt, and Diamond Head was one of them.
During the eruption, the wind blowing from the north blew the magma to the south near the sea, causing the southern part of the crater to rise high.
The Hawaiian name of the crater is "Leahi", which means the forehead of the tuna.
According to local folklore, the sister of the volcano goddess Pele noticed that the volcano's appearance resembled that of a tuna, so she gave it this name.
The name "Diamond Head" began in the 19th century, when several British sailors discovered crystal clear stones on the mountain and mistook them for diamonds. The name Diamond Head has since spread, and its image has been used as a symbol of Hawaii again and again.
for dissemination.
Listening to the tour guide's introduction and looking at Diamond Mountain not far away, Han Peacock sounded the classic description of Diamond Mountain.
When Mark Twain arrived on Oahu by boat in early 1866, he was deeply impressed by the Diamond Head volcano.
"This morning, the weather was clear and the morning light was faint. Suddenly, the distant islands appeared in front of us, lying alone on the quiet sea. Each of us excitedly climbed to the height of the deck to look out, and the majestic Diamond Head volcano raised its head from
The sea rose, and then there were beaches, palm trees, and cities..."
What he said was so right. In fact, he forgot to say something. For example, the sea is all water, so this description is correct. The islands, mountains, beaches, and palm trees are really ordinary. Of course, there are also people walking among them.
All of this was so true. At this moment, Han Kongque wondered whether the tour guide was also named Mark Twain, because what she said was the same as what the great writer Mark Twain said.
Han Peacock and the others found a travel agency in San Francisco and hired a tour guide. Otherwise, they would not have arrived here so quickly.
The tour guide was very competent and started giving a eloquent introduction as soon as he saw Oahu.
"Diamond Head is a popular hiking destination. Some people who are afraid of the heat will naturally choose to hike up in the evening, where they can overlook the panoramic view of Waikiki and the south coast of Oahu."
"Well, no wonder Chen Qing and the others went mountain climbing." Han Kongque understood.
"It takes 40 minutes to walk from the inside of the crater to the top of the mountain. From the top of the mountain, you can enjoy the scenery of the entire city of Honolulu, and the sunset there is equally unforgettable."
Han Peacock nodded. If you climb Diamond Mountain at this time, you can only watch the sunset, and you can only watch it for a while, so many people choose to climb the mountain in the morning.
"The residential areas around the crater may be the most luxurious residential areas for wealthy people in Hawaii and even the United States, with housing prices ranging from millions to tens of millions of dollars."
Han Peacock nodded and expressed his understanding. Not to mention near the famous scenic spots in Hawaii, even in the suburbs of the city, if you build a house in such a picturesque place, you can sell it for a sky-high price.
Seeing Han Peacock eyeing the high heels of a female tourist, the tour guide jumped up and down to show off her roughness and, of course, her pair of sneakers.
"This is the only place in Oahu where you can see the panoramic view of Waikiki Beach. The entrance fee is only one US dollar per person. Of course you can drive up there or take the bus. The mountain road is not difficult to walk, but you still need high heels and slippers.
It takes 1.5 hours to go back and forth." The tour guide smiled very proudly.
Of course, when Zai Han Peacock wanted to come, she was showing that hiring a tour guide was definitely worth the money, so Han Peacock could only nod.
"In the 1960s, there was a proposal to build an aerial cableway in the crater to transport mountaineers. However, due to the death of the proponent, this plan with an investment of US$500,000 came to nothing."
Speaking of this, the tour guide sighed helplessly. Their travel agency often takes the Hawaii route. If the aerial ropeway was built back then, wouldn't it be a lot easier for them?
Of course, this was Han Kongque's malicious speculation after seeing the tour guide's regretful expression. The tour guide did not say that.
"Diamond Head Crater has become a symbol of Hawaii. Like the ** of your country's capital, the Statue of Liberty in New York, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the pyramids in Egypt, and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, it is firmly imprinted in the minds of thousands of people.
among.”
It seems that this little tour guide is very proud of his country. Of course, there are not many Americans who are not proud, or even a little too proud. Han Peacock knows this very well.
“It’s very easy to drive or take a bus from Waikiki to Diamond Head. The walking trail is a bit challenging, requiring climbing two sets of 175 steps. Sometimes you need to use a flashlight to walk through dark tunnels or old military bunkers.
"
It can be seen that this tour guide is indeed very professional, which allows Han Kongque and the others to understand the situation here in a very short period of time. However, if Han Kongque and the others choose to go hiking by bus or car, would it be more in line with the tour guide's wishes?
Han Kongque and his group are all energetic people. When they come to a place like this, they will naturally not choose to take a car up the mountain. Therefore, this tour guide will definitely be disappointed.
From a distance, the surrounding mountains are actually the side walls of the volcanic crater, with a tunnel opening through the side walls.
After passing through the tunnel, you enter the volcanic crater, and then walk along the mountain road. You can climb to the highest point of the side wall of the volcanic crater near the coast to overlook the beautiful scenery.
In fact, because the volcanic crater is so huge, you cannot recognize its true appearance when you are in the crater, and you will not feel anything at all.
The view of the sea from the top is great, but there are no plants on the mountain and it is very sunny, so it is quite hard to climb up.
However, after climbing to the top and overlooking the entire Waikiki area and the beautiful Pacific Ocean, the trip was still worth it. Looking at the lighthouse on the seaside and the waves, it was indeed a bit refreshing.
Only when you climb the mountain peak and look down from a high place can you have a panoramic view. At this time, there is a huge volcanic crater on one side, and the sea and sky are connected on the other side. The view is infinite and vast, which is amazing.
The infinite scenery at the top, the vast expanse of sea, and the high-saturation blue is extremely spectacular.
Of course, Han Peacock couldn't have it all to himself. At the moment when others weren't paying attention, he took out a small video recorder and started filming and recording like crazy.
Naturally, such a beautiful place cannot be appreciated by one person, so Han Peacock wanted to take advantage of the beautiful scenery here and catch a beauty here.
Han Kongque thought, wondering if Chen Qing and the others had brought their wives. If they had, then he would have even more reason to ask a wife to come for their honeymoon.
After reaching the top of the peak, even if Han Kongque didn't look for it specifically, he could see Chen Qing, Yuan Peng and Gu Lie at a glance. There were only three of them, and none of them had wives?
"You didn't bring your wife here? If you let them know, they won't let you kneel on the keyboard?" Han Peacock said with a smile. (To be continued.)
