Pohnpei: A Natural and Cultural Heritage Gem in the Federated States of Micronesia
Pohnpei, one of the four states of the Federated States of Micronesia, is located in the central part of the Caroline Islands in the western Pacific Ocean and consists of the main island, Pohnpei, and a number of surrounding atolls, with the capital city, Palikir, being the political center of the country. It is famous for its magnificent natural landscape and deep history and culture. Mount Namaduwashid in the center of the main island is 791 meters above sea level, the highest peak in the Federated States of Micronesia, and the surrounding area is covered with rainforests, waterfalls and streams. The ruins of the island's South Madurese Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are about 800 years old and consist of nearly 100 man-made islands and canals, demonstrating the architectural ingenuity of ancient Micronesians. Pohnpei's rich coral reefs make it a popular destination for diving and eco-tourism, and the local culture retains traditional tribal customs and festivals, blending Polynesian and Micronesian flavors and attracting explorers from around the globe to this "Garden of the Pacific."
