Enjoy Box

美国的佛罗里达州(Florida)向来给予人们一种热情有活力的印象。事实上,早在数百年前,这里便被视为青春的象征。公元1513年,西班牙探险家庞赛?德莱昂(Ponce de León)为了寻找传说中的青春之泉(Fountain of Youth),而来到了现今佛罗里达的东北角海岸。映入德莱昂眼帘的,尽是一幕幕百花盛开的景象。因此,他便以西班牙文中的La Florida为此地命名,意即『多花的』。随后,西班牙和法国殖民者便在佛罗里达建立了殖民地。其中于1565年建立的圣奥古斯丁(St. Augustine)成为欧洲人在北美洲最早建立的殖民地之一。公元1845年,佛罗里达正式加入了美国,成为美国的第二十七个州。如今,佛罗里达是美国最多观光客的州之一。位于佛州中部的奥兰多(Orlando)是必经的大城,因为最受欢迎的迪斯尼乐园(Disney World)、环球影城(Universal Orlando Resort)、海洋世界(Sea World)皆群聚此地,因而奠定其观光地位。众所皆知的迈阿密(Miami)则位于佛州南部,这里有浓厚的拉丁气氛、浪漫的海滩及精彩的夜生活,您更是千万不能错过。
