二、氣候條件
Located just east of the US’s center-spot, which is in neighboring Kansas, Missouri is something of a meeting point for the cultures of the east, west and south of the country.This is summed up in its nickname, ‘the Gateway to the West’, and visualized in the iconic Gateway Arch in second-largest city, St Louis.While this 630 ft high structure – the tallest monument in the US – appears modern in style, it was actually designed in 1947, and completed in 1968.St Louis has a long association with performing arts and live music, particularly the blues, jazz and ragtime genres, and its clubs and venues witnessed the earliest performances of the likes of Chuck Berry and Miles Davis.
In fact, live music is a theme that runs through much of the state. Branson, in the south, claims to be the ‘live music capital of the world’, while the state’s largest city, Kansas City (not to be confused with the city of the same name in neighboring state Kansas), is renowned for a jazz scene that, in its heyday, featured greats such as legendary saxophonist Charlie Parker.Missouri’s Kansas City is also famed for its passion for barbecue cooking, its numerous boulevards (only Paris has more), and its many fountains (second only to Rome).Compared to other states in the Great Plains region, Missouri has less farmland and more forest. The Ozark Mountain Region – a highland region covering much of the southern part of the state – offers plenty of scope for outdoor exploration.Popular activities include horse riding, canoeing, cycling, hiking, skiing and fishing.
密蘇裏州位於美國的中心位置，位於鄰近的堪薩斯州，是美國東部、西部和南部文化的聚集點。它的綽號是“通往西方的大門”，並在第二大城市聖路易斯的標誌性拱門拱門上顯現出來。雖然這座630英尺高的建築——美國最高的紀念碑——看起來很現代，但實際上是1947年設計的，1968年完工。聖路易斯與表演藝術和現場音樂有著長期的聯系，尤其是藍調、爵士和拉格泰姆音樂流派，它的俱樂部和場地也見證了查克·貝瑞和邁爾斯·戴維斯等人最早的表演。
事實上，現場音樂是貫穿整個國家的壹個主題。布蘭森在南方，自稱是“世界音樂之都”是該州最大的城市。堪薩斯城(不要混淆同名的城市在鄰近的州堪薩斯)以爵士樂現場。在其鼎盛時期偉大如傳奇薩克斯演奏家查理·帕克。密蘇裏州的堪薩斯城也因其對燒烤的熱情而聞名，它有眾多的林蔭大道(只有巴黎有更多)，還有許多噴泉(僅次於羅馬)。與大平原地區的其他州相比，密蘇裏的農田和森林面積更少。歐紮克山地——壹個覆蓋了該州大部分南部地區的高地地區——為戶外探險提供了大量的空間。流行的活動包括騎馬、劃獨木舟、騎自行車、徒步旅行、滑雪和釣魚。
