Introduction to CaliforniaEarly Spanish explorers named California after a mythical island in a 16th century novel,a fabulous paradise of gold,griffins and black Amazons。Gold made California a state and an economic power。Modern California doesn't have any griffins or Amazons,but the mention of the name "California" still conjures up images of paradise。There's more to the state of California than just sun and beaches。If you travel to the state of California,you'll find a state of contrasts and extremes。State of California Facts California is the most populous state in the U。S。One out of every eight people live here。Only Alaska and Texas have a larger land area than the state of California。Two out of ten of the largest U。S。cities are in the state of California:Los Angeles and San Diego。California is the country's top agricultural state,growing half of the food for the country。Almost all almonds,artichokes,dates,figs,kiwifruit,olives,persimmons,pistachios,prunes,raisins,clovers,and walnuts are grown in California。California contains the lowest and the highest points in the continental U。S。You can travel from 282 feet below sea level in Death Valley to 14,494 feet at Mount Whitney in less than a day。California is home to the oldest,largest and tallest living things。The bristlecone pines of the eastern Sierras are 4,600 years old,General Sherman Tree in Sequoia National Park is the largest and California coastal redwoods are the tallest。If the state of California economy were measured by itself,it would be the seventh largest in the world。Generalizations about such a large and diverse state as California are doomed to be untrue。California's women don't all look like the ones on Baywatch and,contrary to the lyrics of a popular song,it DOES rain in Southern California。It would take years for a visitor to explore all the state of California riches and it's almost impossible to pick out a handful of "must-see" sights when you travel to California。Depending on your interests,you can travel to bustling cities,watch the waves roll in at a deserted beach or explore extreme natural beauty。You can spend all your time in densely populated cities,or travel to places where the population is less than the elevation。From south to north,as you travel to California,it becomes greener and wilder,from west to east it becomes higher and drier。There's no shortage of fine accommodations,either。The state of California is home to 24 out of the top 100 hotels and four out of the top ten spas in the U。S。and Canada according to Travel and Leisure Magazine,including the number one hotel,Ritz Carlton Laguna Beach。
