Guam, a U.S. overseas territory located in the western Pacific Ocean, is the closest U.S. territory to China and a popular tourist destination. Guam's earliest inhabitants were the Chamorro people. In the 16th century, the navigator Magellan discovered it and named it the "Island of the Sails." Later, it was ruled by the Spanish, Americans, and Japanese. To this day, the island still retains traces of its diverse cultural fusion. Formed by an underwater volcano, Guam is surrounded by coral reefs in the northern part.
The island experiences high temperatures and high rainfall year-round, with frequent typhoons in autumn. The rainy season runs from June to December, and the dry season runs from January to May. The island's largest tourist population is Japanese.
