One of the most worthwhile places to visit in Hawaii is 360 degree seascape, mountain view and city view. The only drawback is that there are too many tourists! Hiking here requires a pair of comfortable sneakers, and do a good job of anti-slump measures and take water! Diamond Hill, located in Honolulu, Oahu Island, is one of Hawaii's most famous landmarks, close to Waikikiki, which is one of the reasons why there are so many tourists! Diamond Mountain is an extinct volcano formed by volcanic eruption. Its age ranges from 400,000 to 500,000 years, but geologists believe that it erupted for a few days at most. The origin of its name is that when British sailors discovered Diamond Mountain in the 19th century, they mistook the calcite crystal on the beach at the foot of the mountain as a diamond! It also has a Hawaiian name, Le Ahi, which means tuna, because the shape of the Diamond Ridge is a little like the dorsal fin of tuna! You can drive through the tunnel into the volcanic pit of Diamond Mountain. Tickets are $1/pedestrian or $5/car. Cash only! It's open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. all year round, but it's not allowed to go up the mountain at 4:30 p.m. In 1909, the U.S. Army established the earliest military base in Hawaii. At present, there are still about 1.4 kilometers of trails for tourists to reach the top of the mountain. The trails were originally used only for military purposes, and many military facilities such as burrows and tunnels are still preserved on the mountain. Uphill and downhill need special attention to safety, some sections of the stone ladder is very steep, need to pass through the tunnel is also relatively dark! By Youli Zhao

    Hiking Diamond Tou Mountain, meeting the rainbow today during the day, a little rain, the clouds did not completely dissipate in the afternoon, the sun was not so sun, so came to Diamond Tou Mountain hiking, and so luckily encountered the rainbow. Diamond Head Mountain hiking sometimes limits tourist traffic and adopts the advance reservation system (limit the number of people making reservations per time period, and they will not let in when they are full), so it is best to check it on National Park Service website before departure. If the parking lot next to visitor center is full, you can try to find a parking space in the Kahala Lookout parking lot before crossing the tunnel. The hiking trail is not difficult, and it is usually half an hour to an hour after walking one way. The view from the top of the mountain is very good.

    If your Honolulu trip is only enough to schedule a hike, then I must recommend coming to Diamond Head Volcano. Diamond Head (Diamond Head) is a famous dead volcano in Honolulu. The hiking trail is not difficult, suitable for the whole family to travel together, and after climbing to the top of the fire, you can see the Waikiki coastline and the city of Honolulu from a very good perspective. You can also see the outer edge of the crater that is obviously like a bowl mouth.

    If you drive yourself, you have to pay a parking fee of $5. A good place to climb the telescope. I do not like climbing mountains, do not like steps, Diamond Head Mountain is either a step or a stone road, for the beauty of the mountain I do not stop. Half way up the hill, you can overlook the crater. Near the summit, there is a small viewing platform. It can overlook the peninsula. The trail is a little challenging. The first half is a ramp, and the second half needs to climb two sets of 175 steps, passing through the remaining U.S. military fortresses. They also need flashlights to go through dark tunnels or old military bunkers. However, walking slowly is not very difficult. After climbing the summit, you can get a panoramic view of the southern coast of Oahu Island and the charming Waikikiki Beach. The viewing platform above is an excellent place to view the whole Waikikiki and take pictures of this trip for self-entertainment. On the top of the hill, I saw a man with five babies in his superdaddy. Chinese dads smelled bad when they changed their diapers. That's the difference.
