State),加盟日：,9/9/1850(31),州府：,沙加緬度,(Sacramento),第一大城：,洛杉磯,(Los Angeles),州歌：,I Love You,California,州花：,罌粟,州鳥：,加州鵪鶉,州樹：,加州紅杉,州石：,藍錐礦,州礦：,黃金,州昆蟲：,加州狗臉蝴蝶,州動物：,加州熊,箴言：,我發現了,(Eureka),大多數沒來過加州的人多多少少都有聽說過加州的,優勝美地,(Yosemite),、,太浩湖,(Lake Tahoe),、,棕櫚泉,(Palm Springs),、,死亡谷,(Death Valley),、,迪士尼樂園,(Disneyland),、,金門大橋,(Golden Gate Bridge),、,和洛杉磯的蓋蒂中心,(Getty Center),。,洛杉磯的好萊塢,更是大家耳熟能詳的地方。,加州的陽光、海浪、和地震更是此地的特色。,China town,Golden Gate Bridge,好莱坞的星光大道是条极,富,戏剧性的路，什么人都有，什么事都可能发生。而在洛杉矶，有个地方比迪士尼更好玩，那就是环球影城（,UNIVERSAL STUDIOS,）,。,。,环球影城热门节目之一,水世界,的火爆演出,在星光大道上中国香港的导演吴宇森的手印。,世界上第三大的巨树，树龄超过,1700,年。,巨树究竟有多巨型？人一站过去就看出来了,加,州的山路弯又弯，加州的树木巨又大，加州山区的天气说变就变，一分钟之前还是晴天，一分钟之后就下起了大雪，又一分钟之后雪过天青。,帝王山谷中“九月雪花飘”的奇观。,Cable car,（,有轨）缆车,加利福尼亞來自西班牙語，意謂神秘的天堂。,1542,年葡萄牙航海家羅德里奎茲,(Juan Rodriquez,Cabrillo,),發現加州,，,到了,1768,年西班牙國王查理斯下令殖民此地。隨後在,1769,至,1823,年間，天主教聖芳濟修會的兩位修士,Junipero,Serra,和,Fermin,Lasuen,從聖地牙哥到索諾馬,(Sonoma),成立了,21,間教堂；於此同時，,1777,年西班牙移民在聖荷西建立第一個城市,。,1848,年,1,月，詹姆士,馬歇爾,(James Marshall),和一群工人在北加州的美國河畔建造了一個鋸木廠。在,1,月,24,日的寒冷清晨，馬歇爾在河邊找到了一些碎金塊，就這樣開啟了人類歷史上的一次大遷徙。大約有五十萬人從世界各地來到加州尋求一夕致富，發現黃金的消息第一次出現在三籓市加州人報,(The Californian),三月十五日的報導上，接下來的一些軍人又在附近的河邊發現金塊，掏金熱於是乎就這麼展開來了。,自從淘金熱時期起，加州已成為美國開放的最富饒的土地，一個能快速致富和可以得到任何你所渴望的榮譽的地方，而且功名成就之後，你大可擁有依山傍海的公寓。時光飛逝，加州的經濟近年來已有了突飛猛進的發展。她的居民保持著大無謂的精神，全力投入到使他們第一次來到這裏的神話和美好的憧憬之中（牢記，這可是把,Sonny Bono,送進國會的地方）。而且還有更多的人正源源不斷地來到這裏，並帶來如此之多的變化和創造力，誰又能阻止他們的到來呢？,加州共分為北加州、南加州和中加州。然而，加利福尼亞實際上更像是兩個州。她的,北半部,孕育著,矽谷和三藩市海灘,，無論在文化和地理環境都同由,洛杉磯和聖地牙哥,組成的加州,南半部,窘然不同。,北上是晶片、位元組、葡萄和嬉皮士,，而,南下是明星、賽璐珞、衝浪和美國海岸員警,。這些景觀在不同人的眼裏同樣是吸引人的。中國人大多居住在北加州的灣區,(Bay Area),如三藩市,(San Francisco),和聖荷西,(San Jose),，,以及南加州的洛杉磯,(Los Angeles),和橙縣,(,Oragne,County),。,而加州主要的旅遊聖地又以這兩地為多。,想像一段電影情節：,第一幕：在一個白雪覆蓋的山頭，豔麗的陽光下，一對年輕情侶穿著滑雪衣，帶著滑雪裝備從山頭下快速優雅的沖下山坡。,第二幕：一個小時後在清潔的白沙灘上，同樣的一對男女在海灘上散步，溫暖的海水打在他們的腳上。,下一幕：再下一個小時後，這對情侶坐在市區的一個優雅的餐廳聽著優雅的音樂，吃著美味的晚餐，商量著晚餐後將要去哪一家夜總會玩。,不要以為這只是夢想，在加州，這的的確確是生活的一部份！,Do
