二、氣候條件
Situated at the crossroads of the northern, southern and mid-western groups of states, Kentucky presents a unique cultural hybrid, combining southern traditions with northern dynamism.Kentucky is the home of some of the most quintessentially American products, customs and historical figures: Chevrolets and Corvettes, bluegrass (both the plant and the type of music), bourbon (including famous brands such as Jim Beam and Wild Turkey), Abraham Lincoln, Mohammad Ali, canyons and of course Kentucky fried chicken.The state is also famous for producing tobacco and for the annual Kentucky Derby, the US’s most famous horse racing event.
With a culture largely founded on its rural and agricultural past, Kentucky (like so many US states) has lots to offer for lovers of the great outdoors. Standout natural features include the aptly-named Mammoth Cave National Park (the world’s largest cave system) and the Red River Gorge, a stunning canyon system on the Red River.Louisville is the largest city, and Lexington (‘horse capital of the world’) the second largest. As well as state capital Frankfurt, other notable cities include Ashland, Richmond, Covington, Pleasure Ridge Park, Owensboro, Henderson, Hopkinsville, Bowling Green and Paducah.
