二、气候条件

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.
