加利福尼亚州:好莱坞、初创企业和巨树
虽然提起加州人们一般也许不会想到林木,但其实林地占加州面积的45%,而且生长着一些世界上最大、最高和最古老的巨树。
加州也在其他方面有其之巨。脸书(Facebook)、苹果(Apple)、惠普(Hewlett-Packard)、谷歌(Google)和英特尔公司(Intel)都坐落在加州的硅谷(Silicon Valley),当地有信息技术人员将近25万。
而且,加州是美国人口最多的州,共有居民3900万。而美国大陆海拔最高点和最低点均在加州——惠特尼山(Mount Whitney)高达14495英尺(4418米),死谷(Death Valley)的恶水滩(Bad Water)则低于海平面282英尺(85.9米)。
当然,加州还有以好莱坞(Hollywood)为中心的全球闻名的娱乐产业。你可以参观电影制片厂,亲临你最喜欢的美国电视节目和影片的拍摄场——说不定会看到一位名角!

这个山上标志是南加州最知名的地标之一。你可以开车上去,像许多游客一样在那里留影。
你会有机会……
……驾车从一棵树中穿过!巨树大道(Avenue of the Giants)是一条两侧巨木高耸的公路。你不仅可以穿行公路,而且可以驾车从其中三棵树中穿过,包括如下图所示的香德里尔大树(Chandelier Tree)。
音乐,冲浪和沙滩
不要忘了去欣赏加州多元的音乐场景,如棕榈泉(Palm Springs)附近的科切拉山谷音乐艺术节(Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival)、中部海岸的蒙特雷爵士音乐节(Monterey Jazz Festival)、还有旧金山(San Francisco)的外地(Outside Lands)音乐节。然后,到亨廷顿海滩(Huntington Beach)(号称美国冲浪之都[Surf City, USA]),感受一下加州著名的冲浪文化,并在从南到北沿海岸边的许多美丽沙滩上欢度时光。

Story)和《冰雪奇缘》(Frozen)等大片均在这里拍摄制作。

The iconic sign on the hills is one of the most recognizable landmarks in southern California. You can drive right up to it and pose for a photo with it, as visitors often do.
Here’s your chance …
… to drive through a tree! The Avenue of the Giants is a highway flanked by monumental trees. You can drive through three of them, including the Chandelier Tree, pictured below.
Music, surf and sand
Don’t forget to check out California’s diverse music scene at festivals like the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival near Palm Springs, the Monterey Jazz Festival on the Central Coast, and San Francisco’s Outside Lands. Then, experience the state’s iconic surf culture at Huntington Beach (known as Surf City, USA) and enjoy many other beautiful beaches up and down the coast.
