 Welcome to Honolulu! |
1 Aloha Tower Dr Honolulu, HI 96813 United States +1 808 528 5700 http://www.alohatower.com |
This waterfront landmark is as much a symbol of Honolulu as Coit Tower is of San Francisco. Since 1925 the tower has welcomed people of all nations to Honolulu. It's an imposing structure, nearly 200 feet tall, but its Spanish architecture and bronze embellishments make it much more attractive than the average skyscraper. The recently refurbished Observation Deck is now open to visits (see hours below) and gives guided tour twice daily for both Japanese and English speakers. The wonderful Aloha Tower Marketplace is open daily. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Asian cultural center |
Between Maunakea and River streets (near North Beretania Street) Honolulu, HI 96817 United States +1 808 524 4461 |
If you've ever been to a Chinatown (New York, San Francisco, etc.) the Chinese Cultural Plaza on O'ahu will be something of a familiar sight. In the heart of Honolulu's Chinatown, this plaza is surrounded by diverse businesses, from restaurants and travel agencies to herbalists and acupuncturists. The plaza itself is situated in the midst of a modern commercial district, surrounded by all sorts of shops. The center of the plaza proudly displays a statue of Asian political figure Sun Yat-Sen.
