║ Honolulu is the capital and largest city of Hawaii. ║
║ Situated on the southeast coast of the island of ║
║ Oahu, it is the seat of Honolulu County. It has ║
║ diversified industries, including sugar processing ║
║ and pineapple canning. Military bases and the ║
║ U. S. Pacific Command headquarters are of economic ║
║ significance. Honolulu is one of the most popular ║
║ U. S. vacation resorts. Its natural assets - which ║
║ include Waikiki Beach, the Koolau Mountains rising ║
║ dramatically beyond the hotels, and extinct volcanic║
║ craters, such as Diamond Head - attract up to 6.5 ║
║ million visitors annually. The city is known for ║
║ its ethnic variety: more than 70% are of Japanese, ║
║ Hawaiian, Chinese, and Filipino descent; 27% are ║
║ Caucasian. ║
