2. Clothing: Hawaii has a comfortable and dry climate, with an average annual temperature of about 24 degrees Celsius, and the rainy season is 1 1 to March. Therefore, when you travel to the seaside in summer, you can wear light clothes.

Because some restaurants will prohibit tourists from wearing light clothes such as T-shirts, sandals and shorts, it is best to prepare a slightly formal dress for emergencies.

When flying, please fasten your seat belt at any time to avoid bumping and affecting safety. Please deposit your valuables in the hotel safe. If you need to carry it with you, don't leave your hand. Watch your hands.
