Hilo, the capital of the Big Island of Hawaii in the U.S. state of Hawaii, is a tropical coastal city surrounded by the Pacific Ocean on the island's east coast. As the "Windy City", Hilo is nourished by the trade winds all year round and enjoys a warm and humid climate with an average annual temperature of about 24°C, abundant rainfall and lush vegetation. It is one of the heritage sites of Native Hawaiian culture, with traditional markets, hula performances and local crafts, giving it a unique Polynesian flavor. Hilo is surrounded by spectacular natural scenery, including Rainbow Falls, named for its morning rainbow spectacle; the nearby Hamakua coastline, known for its black sand beaches, rainforests and waterfalls; and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (about a 30-minute drive from Hilo), which allows visitors to get up close and personal with the stunning volcanic landscape. Hilo is also a major agricultural town, producing pineapples, coffee and other tropical crops, making it an ideal destination to experience Hawaii's slow life and natural beauty.
