History:

Orlando, formerly known as Jernegan, is an unremarkable settlement next to Fort Gatlin, and it was a US military base during the war with the Chermino Indians. After the Second Seminole War, outsiders began to move here and named it after Orlando Reeves, a soldier who died in Lake Iola.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Orlando developed into a prosperous agricultural city and a famous "orange peel city". The success of citrus cultivation promoted the development of local railways and real estate, but in the late1968+1950s, Orlando gained another endless source of money, that is, the beginning of the space age. Glenn Martin Company, now Mary's Martin marietta Defense System Company, began to manufacture missiles, and the Canaveral and Kennedy Space Centers on the east coast of Florida were established, which brought rich income and a lot of employment opportunities.

197 1 After the completion of Disneyland, this area will become a theme park metropolis. However, it is not just these theme parks that attract tourists. Orlando has quietly established its own high-tech corridor, Silicon Valley in Florida. In short, you have to admit that Orlando, once backward, is really wise to replace citrus cultivation with tourism and high-tech industries. This "tomorrow community" has proved its foresight and achieved today's achievements.

Contrary to Disney World, Future World is an amusement center with the theme of scientific fantasy, covering an area of 65,438+005 hectares and divided into two parts. One part is called the future world, the other part is called the window of the world. There are 6 buildings and 8 pavilions in the future world, namely: Planet Express, Energy Pavilion, Earth Pavilion, Power World, Fantasy World, Submarine Tour, Computer Treasure and Future World. Tourists enter 2 1 century by prehistoric sightseeing train, just like an electron beam, flying over just visiting, entering outer space and enjoying the pleasure of traveling in space. People can also take the stage train to the wild world, where they can see how fossils and fuels are formed, electric dinosaurs with sounds and smells, the rumble of volcanic eruptions, and lava with magma flavor, which is very real. Fantasy tour shows the ever-changing world of light by high-tech means, and makes various optical introductions, which is of great educational significance; The trip to the bottom of the sea will bring people into the life of the future underwater city and show the infinite charm of the underwater world.

When you go to Orlando, you must not forget to visit the famous Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, which is one of the bases for the launch of the American space shuttle. Whenever there is a space shuttle to launch, hundreds of thousands of tourists will flock here and camp near the launch base, waiting to witness the grand launch. NASA has a visitor center on the landing passage here, and there is also an Air Force Space Museum, which displays many historical materials of space flight. During the tour, visitors can see the lunar rover, various spacecraft and rocket exhibition fields, rocket assembly fields, rocket launch pad, space shuttle launch pad, space command post and rocket launch simulation room. In the face of this great creation of human beings going into space, almost everyone can't restrain their inner excitement. On February/KOOC-0/day, 2003, the American space shuttle returned to Earth after liftoff/KOOC-0/5 days, and was scheduled to land at Cape Canaveral, but it exploded/KOOC-0/0 minutes before landing, killing all seven astronauts, casting a sad color on this magnificent space center. Seeing things and thinking about people, people are inevitably sad.

The scenery in Orlando is very charming. Walking on its streets, you can see the huge signs of uncle Sam, mermaid, cello and other modeling light boxes, colorful luxury tourist hotels, and some roofs with rockeries and dangerous rocks; Some roofs are covered with trees, like gardens; Some facades are like castles, with elegant style; Some halls are resplendent and full of modern style. However, what makes me feel cordial is the colorful giant sculptures of a pair of dragons standing on the street. This is the road entrance sign of the theme park "splendid china" built by China Travel Service. Walking into the park, you can see simulated or miniature landscapes such as the Forbidden City in Beijing, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing, Suzhou Gardens, Potala Palace in Tibet, Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, Lijiang River in Guilin and the Great Wall in Wan Li. Seeing the scenery of the motherland in a distant foreign country, the most irresistible thing is surging homesickness.

Orlando is small, but the small town has a big world; The beauty of Orlando lies in its color, its boldness, its novelty, its sense of movement and its pleasant warmth, which moistens people's hearts. The American ambassador is an eye-opener, but the huts, towns and villages in the United States are small, but they are unforgettable.
