The average annual minimum temperature is 17 C and the maximum temperature is 36 C. In January 1502, Portuguese navigators came to the bay that is now Guanabara Bay. They suddenly found a golden beach surrounded by mountains in front of them. They had no time to check it out and mistakenly thought it was the mouth of a large river. He referred to the deer as a horse and casually named it "January River". The Portuguese transliteration is "Rio de Janeiro". No one thought that this name was wrong. "January River" is actually a bay and a poetic word, symbolizing passion, unrestrainedness and charm. Because January is the peak of summer in Rio, with bright sunshine, blooming flowers, green mountains and blue water, and throngs of tourists. Later generations made mistakes and continued to use this dreamy place name to this day. Later, the French established a colony here and discovered gold mines, and Rio de Janeiro developed rapidly.
Rio de Janeiro was founded in 1565, became the capital of Brazil in 1763, and became the capital in 1822; in 1960, the capital was moved to Brasilia. It was later changed to the state of Guanabara (with the same scope as the city). In 1975, after the state of Guanabara was abolished, it became the capital of the state of Rio de Janeiro. But today there are still quite a few federal government agencies, corporate organizations and corporate headquarters here, so it is also called the "Second Capital" of Brazil. Rio de Janeiro is the second largest city in Brazil, the largest seaport in Brazil, and the national economic and cultural center. There are textile, clothing, printing, automobile, shipbuilding, machinery, petroleum processing, chemical, metallurgical and food industries.

The city has more than 60 museums of various types, more than 70 libraries, more than 80 large and small theaters and more than 80 clubs. There are many colleges and universities, scientific research institutions, etc. It has developed sea, land and air transportation. It is the largest port in Brazil. The harbor has a wide belly and a narrow mouth, which can accommodate large ships. The annual throughput is more than 35 million tons.
The beautiful Corcovado Mountain is located in the west of Rio de Janeiro, on the edge of Guanabara Bay, with an altitude of 709 meters, and there are often clouds and mist hanging on the mountainside. There are towering ancient trees on the mountain, gushing springs and waterfalls, shrouded in clouds and mist, and the scenery is amazing. Corcovado Mountain is also known as Jesus Mountain.
Walking around the city of Rio, you can see the Jesus Cross statue on the top of the mountain everywhere: Jesus Christ in the statue is wearing a robe, with arms raised, looking down, his eyes lovingly overlooking the beautiful panorama of Rio de Janeiro below the mountain, as if he is protecting it The city of Rio at the foot of the mountain expresses the spirit of fraternity and praise for independence.
The Statue of Christ in Rio de Janeiro (Portuguese: Cristo Redentor), also called the Statue of Christ in Brazil, is a large statue of Jesus Christ in the Art Deco style. It is located on Mount Cristo in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is the symbol of the city and the largest statue in the world. One of the most famous memorial sculptures. The statue of Jesus faces the rippling blue Atlantic Ocean, with open arms looking from a distance, like a huge cross, looking solemn and majestic. The figure of Jesus Christ blends into the mountains, and some clouds float between the peaks from time to time, making the image of Jesus looming and making him appear more mysterious and holy. In the sunshine, the reflection of Jesus is printed on the white clouds, which is very spectacular. Under the illumination of lights at night, the statue of Jesus under the black night sky appears taller and more eye-catching, and the religious color is more intense.
In 1921, when the Brazilian people celebrated the 100th anniversary of their independence, people proposed to build a giant statue of Jesus Christ on the top of Corcovado Mountain so that the Savior could stretch out his broad arms to embrace the city. Construction of the statue started in 1921. After 10 years of arduous construction, the statue was finally completed on the top of Corcovado Mountain in 1931. The statue was created by French sculptor Paul Landowski and others. The statue of Jesus the Redeemer is the largest statue of Jesus in the world, with a base width of 8 meters and a height of 30 meters (equivalent to the height of a 13-story building). The distance between the tops of the fingers of the left and right hands is 28 meters, and the total weight is 1,145 tons. Its head alone is 3.75 meters high and weighs 30 tons; the distance between the tops of the fingers on the left and right hands is 28 meters; the arms cover an area of ??about 38 square meters and weigh 114 tons; the base area of ??the statue is 100 square meters.

Guanabara Bay is an Atlantic gulf in southeastern Brazil, with Rio de Janeiro on its southwest coast and Niterói on its southeast coast. Guanabara Bay is about 31 kilometers long, 29 kilometers wide at its maximum, and 1.61 kilometers wide at the entrance. It is the second largest bay in Brazil. Guanabara Bay was first discovered by the Portuguese on January 1, 1502, and was originally named Rio de Janeiro Bay. In 1555, the French established a fortress on Villegagnon Island and called the bay "Guanabara Bay". On the east side of Guanabara Bay are Papagayo Peak and Fort Santa Cruz, and on the west side are Sugar Tapioca Peak and Fort S?o Jo?o. Guanabara Bay is dotted with several islands, including Villegagnon, Governado, and Cobras.
The entrance to Guanabara Bay is Sugarloaf Mountain. You can take a cable car to the top of the mountain to get a panoramic view of Rio. Looking up into the distance, you can see the sparkling Guanabara Bay with white sails dotted; on the stretches of beach along the bay The silver sand is dazzling, tourists are everywhere, and sun umbrellas are in bloom like flowers; the wide seaside avenue stretches to the invisible end, and there are densely packed modern buildings facing the sea. The Bay's Flamenco Park, Castello di Niterói, and natural monuments are all part of the World Heritage Site.
Surrounded by lush tropical rainforests, long beaches, strangely shaped rocks and towering peaks, Guanabara Bay is one of the best tourist destinations in the world. Busy cruise ships and cargo ships dock here every day, making it one of the busier bays in Brazil. The Guanabara Bay sparkles with golden light under the setting sun, and the setting sun hangs slantingly on the sugar loaf and refuses to leave for a long time. People playing on the beach are reluctant to leave the bay and stare at it for a long time...
Copacabana Beach is known as the most famous beach in the world. It has a coastline of 4.5 kilometers, with blue water, white waves, clean and soft beach, and the year-round temperature is suitable for swimming, so there is an endless stream of tourists. Colorful parasols and colorful swimsuits decorate the beach in a colorful way. Girls in bikinis with hot figures can be seen everywhere, which is a scene on the Rio coast. The offshore area of ??Copacabana Beach is never calm. Big waves are constantly rolling up. The blue wave valleys and white wave crests wax and wane and surge onto the beach again and again. When the blue water soaks the white beach, a colorful boundary appears between the sea and the beach.
Many years ago, there was no white sand beach here, only a coast made of white rocks. Waves constantly hit the coast with huge energy, damaging the rocks. If there are cracks or joints in the rock, the wave will be even more destructive - it will compress the air in the rock cracks while impacting the rock, and then the seawater will retreat and the pressure will drop sharply, creating an explosive force. This process is repeated, and the white rocks continue to collapse and break. The rock fragments were carried forward and backward by the waves, constantly colliding and polishing each other, and finally accumulated in a suitable place. But their ordeal is not over yet. What awaits them is repeated washing and washing year after year, day after day. That's why today, the sand in Copacabana is particularly fine and crystal clear, like grains of white sugar.
In Rio de Janeiro, the hot crowd on the beach is the most eye-catching treasure for men. There are mixed-race girls with three genes: white, Indian, and black. They are almost born with all the essential elements of female beauty: sexy figure, healthy complexion, thick shawl long hair, gorgeous face... and more importantly One thing is that they have the unique passion and unrestrainedness of the Brazilian nation, and their beauty is a beauty that is full of vitality and happiness. Walking on the beach can truly appreciate the unique charm of Copacabana Beach. The sand grains are too fine, soft and flat; the color of the sand is too white, as white as snow; big waves are always rolling near the beach, with blue wave valleys and white wave peaks waxing and waning, coming again and again, like a wave in the sun. A series of bright and unnecessary oil paintings. For most people in Rio de Janeiro, the beaches of Rio de Janeiro mean life in Rio de Janeiro. The vast sea is boundless as far as the eye can see. From a distance, the sky and the sea are connected, like a blue world. Here, you may see: strong young people running slowly on the beach, some little boys chasing each other, a middle-aged woman sitting peacefully on the soft sand and watching the children playing... This is where About people's lives.
Brazil is a country with the richest plant species in the world. Rio de Janeiro has a pleasant climate, abundant rainfall, and unique natural conditions. The Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden (also known as the Gardim Botanical Park) is one of the earliest planned botanical gardens in Brazil. In 1808, the Portuguese Regent Jo?o VI created this "royal forest garden" to cultivate Indian spice crops.
The park covers an area of ??1.37 million square meters, part of which is a botanical garden and the other part is a forest garden. The most famous one in the garden is the king palm tree from Maurice Island, which is planted on the avenue from the entrance to the central fountain. On both sides, the momentum is spectacular. Various trees from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest are planted. There are 6 lakes in the park, among which Wanglian Lake and Lotus Lake are the most distinctive. There are more than 8,000 species of plants in more than 200 families in the park. Most of them are cultivated in greenhouses, and several of the greenhouses simulate the natural growth environment of wild species. There are mainly orchid rooms, pineapple rooms, cactus rooms, carnivorous plant rooms, etc. They are scattered in the garden and were built in different years. The Orchid Room is the earliest greenhouse in the garden. It was built in 1890 as a wooden structure. In 1930, it was changed to a metal structure and was octagonal in shape. 3,000 orchids of 600 different varieties were collected, many of which are rare species. The "Jackfruit Garden" is one of the most attractive places for tourists. It occupies two greenhouses and contains about 10,000 jackfruit plants. In addition to varieties produced in Brazil, there are also varieties from other countries in South and Central America. The landscape in the park is very beautiful, and the deepest impression is that there are many kinds of trees, and they are very tall, including an avenue of towering palm trees. Many big trees are not only tall and spectacular, but their trunks are densely covered with mosses, ferns, bromeliads and cacti from bottom to top, which is hard to see in other botanical gardens. Many botanists and garden experts in the world recognize it as one of the top ten botanical gardens in the world.
