当然是The Shire了
The Shire was a peaceful and bountiful land in Eriador in northwestern Middle-earth. The race of people known as Hobbits lived there, largely forgotten by the outside world until events at the end of the Third Age brought them and their land to the attention of powers both good and evil.
Geography:
The Shire was 40 leagues (120 miles) across from the Far Downs on its western edge to the Brandywine River on the east. From north to south it stretched 50 leagues (150 miles) from the northern moors to the southern marshes.
The Shire was a rich, pastoral land. Much of the land was devoted to growing crops. The marshlands along the Brandywine, known as the Marish, were ideal for the cultivation of mushrooms, a Hobbit delicacy. The warm, sheltered climate of the southern part of the Shire, particularly around Longbottom, was conducive to growing pipe-weed. Barley used for brewing beer was grown in the Northfarthing and there were vineyards in the Southfarthing where grapes were grown for making wine such as the popular Old Winyards.
The Shire was divided into four quarters called Farthings: the Northfarthing, Southfarthing, Eastfarthing and Westfarthing. There were also areas named for the families that traditionally inhabited them, most notably Tookland, the home of the Tooks around Tuckborough in the Westfarthing, and Buckland, where the Brandybuck family lived on the east side of the Brandywine between the river and the Old Forest.
The landscape varied across the Shire. The Green Hill Country stretched from Tuckborough in the Westfarthing across the north end of the Southfarthing and across much of the Eastfarthing. The Hills of Scary were located in the northern part of the Eastfarthing near the Brandywine River and there were stone quarries there. The Westfarthing included the chalky White Downs as well as the Far Downs.
Several smaller rivers flowed into the Brandywine: The Water began in the North Moors and flowed through Hobbiton and Bywater; the River Shirebourn, Thistle Brook, and Stockbrook all sprang from the Green Hill Country.
Marshland included the Marish and the Overbourn Marshes along the Brandywine and Rushock Bog along the Water northwest of Hobbiton. Woodlands included Woody End in the Eastfarthing at the east end of the Green Hill Country and Bindbole Wood in the Northfarthing.
The chief township of the Shire was Michel Delving on the White Downs. Other towns and villages included Tuckborough and Hobbiton in the Westfarthing; Long Cleeve and Hardbottle in the Northfarthing; Frogmorton, Stock, and Whitfurrows in the Eastfarthing; and Longbottom in the Southfarthing. Bucklebury was the main town in Buckland.
History:
The land that became the Shire once had farmland, vineyards, and woods belonging to the King. But the North-kingdom had fallen into disarray and the land had long been deserted.
Hobbits first came to the Shire in the year 1601. The Fallohide brothers Marcho and Blanco had obtained permission from King Argeleb II at Fornost to settle the lands between the Brandywine and the Far Downs. They led a large group of Hobbits from Bree west across the Brandywine and called the land Sûza, or "the Shire." In the year 1630, a number of Stoors from Dunland came to join them, and the Shire soon became the homeland of Hobbits in Middle-earth.
In 1975, according to Shire records, the Hobbits sent a company of archers to the Battle of Fornost, where the Witch-king of Angmar was defeated and driven from the north. But the North-kingdom also ended at that time, and in 1979 the Hobbits chose a Thain to hold authority in the absence of the King. Bucca of the Marish was the first Thain of the Shire. The Thain was the master of the Shire-moot and captain of the Shire-muster and the Hobbitry-in-arms. As the Shire remained at peace, the office of Thain became largely a nominal dignity.
The office of Thain passed to the Took family in 2340, when Gorhendad Oldbuck led his family across the Brandywine and settled Buckland. He changed the family name to Brandybuck and the head of the family became known as the Master of Buckland.
The Mayor of Michel Delving was an elected official and over time became the only real government official in the Shire. The Messenger Service and the Shirriffs of the Watch fell under his authority.
Hardships occasionally befell the Hobbits of the Shire. The Great Plague in 1636 claimed many lives. In 2747, Orcs from Mount Gram invaded the Northfarthing and were defeated by a group of Hobbits led by Bandobras Took at the Battle of Greenfields. The Long Winter of 2758-59 and the famine that followed took a great toll. Gandalf the Grey came to the aid of the Hobbits at that time and he was impressed by their courage and their pity for one another in the face of great hardship. During the Fell Winter of 2911, the Brandywine River froze and white wolves entered the Shire from the north.
But by and large the Hobbits of the Shire had a peaceful, prosperous, and sheltered existence. They rarely ventured farther afield than Bree, and to many of the peoples outside the Shire Hobbits had faded into memory and legend. Their main claim to fame was the cultivation of pipe-weed - which Tobold Hornblower had first grown in the Southfarthing around 2670 - but though the art of smoking spread among the races of Middle-earth, few were aware of its source.
There were a few Hobbits of a more adventurous nature who traveled beyond the borders of the Shire into the wide world. The most notable of these was Bilbo Baggins, who embarked on the quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from Smaug the Dragon in 2941. It was on this journey that Bilbo found the One Ring, an event that had a profound effect on the Shire and all of Middle-earth.
By the year 3001, when Bilbo left the Shire and gave the Ring to his heir Frodo Baggins, there were increasing reports of strange people and creatures on the borders. The number of Bounders was increased, and unbeknownst to the Hobbits, the Rangers of the North were also on guard, protecting the Shire from intrusion by Outsiders.
When Frodo learned that the Ring in his possession was the Ruling Ring made by the Dark Lord Sauron, he realized that he would have to leave the Shire in order to save the land he loved.
"I should like to save the Shire, if I could - though there have been times when I thought the inhabitants too stupid and dull for words, and have felt that an earthquake or an invasion of dragons might be good for them. But I don't feel like that now. I feel that as long as the Shire lies behind, safe and comfortable, I shall find wandering more bearable: I shall know that somewhere there is a firm foothold, even if my feet cannot stand there again."
The Fellowship of the Ring: "The Shadow of the Past," p. 71
Frodo left the Shire on September 26, 3018, accompanied by Sam Gamgee, Merry Brandybuck, and Pippin Took. Earlier that week on September 23, Nazgul seeking the Ring had entered the Shire, sweeping away the guard of Rangers at Sarn Ford. On September 30, they attacked the house at Crickhollow where Frodo had spent his last night in the Shire, and the Horn-call of Buckland was sounded for the first time since the Fell Winter 100 years ago. The Nazgul rode eastward out of the Shire in pursuit of the Ring-bearer.
On their quest, the four Hobbit companions frequently thought about their homeland to comfort themselves and strengthen their resolve. In the Mirror of Galadriel, Sam Gamgee saw a vision of the Shire being destroyed. His first inclination was to go home, but he remained with his master for the duration of the quest.
When the Hobbits arrived home in late 3019, they found that Sam's vision was a reality. Lotho Sackville-Baggins had been selling pipe-weed to the traitorous wizard Saruman, and with the money he gained from the sales, Lotho expanded his business interests, tearing down trees and digging up the land to set up industries. Lotho had Mayor Will Whitfoot arrested and he had set himself up as Chief Shirriff in the New Year of 3019. At his invitation rough Men moved into the Shire and threatened the Hobbits, enforcing a number of harsh rules and restrictions imposed by the Chief.
In September of 3019, Saruman himself came to the Shire seeking vengeance for the destruction of Isengard. His lackey Grima killed Lotho, and Saruman became the new Chief. But the four Hobbit adventurers had learned much on their quest and were able to rally their fellow Hobbits to oppose the invaders. Merry Brandybuck and Pippin Took led the Hobbitry in the Battle of Bywater on November 3 and the Men were defeated and driven out of the Shire. Saruman was killed by Grima, who was in turn shot by Hobbit archers.
Sam set to work restoring his beloved Shire to its natural bucolic state. He used the gift given to him by the Lady Galadriel, carefully spreading the grains of soil from her orchard around the Shire and planting the mallorn seed where the Party Tree had once stood. In the spring of 3020 - 1420 by Shire Reckoning - trees sprouted and gardens grew and the harvest was bountiful. This year was known as the Great Year of Plenty and it was a time of happiness and renewal.
Frodo found himself unable to share the peace and happiness of his fellow Hobbits. He had saved the Shire and all of Middle-earth by undertaking the quest to bring the Ring to Mount Doom where it was destroyed, but in doing so he was wounded physically and burdened by terrible memories. On September 22, 3021, Frodo set out with Bilbo from the Woody End to leave the Shire behind forever and sail to the Undying Lands.
In the year 6 of the Fourth Age, Aragorn, King Elessar, decreed that Men were not to enter the Shire and made it a Free Land of the Northern Kingdom. Sam became Mayor of Michel Delving, Pippin became Thain, and Merry became the Master of Buckland. The holders of these three offices were made Counsellors of the North-kingdom. In the year 31, the Westmarch from the Far Downs to the Tower Hills was added to the Shire. Hobbits returned to their peaceful and prosperous state, though they were now known and respected by the outside world.

他们可能是这个世界上最乐天知命的种族了。他们喜欢劳动，喜欢把住所建设得有序和舒适。喜欢在嫁娶、生日或固定节日里互送礼物，大量地送掉礼物和大量地收取礼物是他们乐此不疲的生活消遣，霍比特人历史上寿命最长的毕尔博·巴金斯在他110岁生日时送出了110份名贵而精致的礼物（有部分礼物是他年轻时寻回的宝物），是霍比特人送礼之最。许多家庭的地窖里藏着堆积如山的既不实用又无价值的礼品，但他们都不舍得扔掉。霍比特人非常迷恋自己的家乡，即使外面的世界多么的充满诱惑（无边无际的大海、尖耳朵的精灵、会说话的树他们都没有见过），也不迈出霞尔半步（只有五个人例外，毕尔博·巴金斯年轻时外出探险，并获得魔戒，佛罗多·巴金斯、山姆·怀斯、梅利·巨酒鹿、皮平·图克四人参加了魔戒远征队）。他们不分男女老少都喜欢吃喝玩乐，每天吃六餐。最令霍比特人感到自豪的是他们培育出世界上最优良的烟草，形成了独特的吸烟方式，创造了世界闻名的烟草艺术。
霍比特人是这个世界上最不起眼的一族，但他们中的多个人曾一度把持着至尊魔戒，决定着整个世界的命运。

在《TheLordOfTheRings》中，Hobbits居住在Shire。
第4个回答 2016-06-06
《魔戒》中 霍比特人居住的地点：
霍比特人最早居住在大河安都因的上游谷地，就在巨绿森林边缘到迷雾山脉之间，后来的“漫游时期”，他们开始往西迁移，根据他们自己的传说，由于人类的繁衍和邪恶势力的入侵，他们冒着危险穿越险峻的山脉，进入中土世界的西北边──伊利雅德（Eriador），现在大多居住在伊利雅德的夏尔及布理等地。
霍比特人简介：
霍比特人（Hobbits），或称哈比人，是在托尔金（J. R. R. Tolkien）的奇幻小说中出现的一种民族，体型娇小为其特色，但并非矮人或侏儒。
据作者所述，霍比特人是人类的变种，或是人类的分支，但霍比特人坚信他们是一个独立的民族。霍比特人居住在中土大陆西北的夏尔（Shire）及布理（Bree）等地。霍比特人在小说《哈比人历险记》（英语：The Hobbit）里首次登场，并且在《魔戒》里扮演着重要的角色。在《精灵宝钻》里亦稍有提及。托尔金在《魔戒》里说道，霍比特人身高约两至四尺（0.6米至1.2米），平均身高为三尺六吋（1米）。霍比特人的性格趋向坚强，略显尖锐的耳朵。
