Town Information
Click on the
Pictures
Capital and main port of the state of Hawaï,
on the south coast of the island of Oahu. West of the city is Pearl
Harbour, American naval base. Its bombardment by Japanese in December,
1941 provoked the entering the war of the United States. The beach of
Waikiki, lined with Hotels is famous. Behind the city rises mountain
Kaolau. The academy of the Arts of Honolulu is situated in the South
Beretania Street and presents a famous oriental, Hawaiian, European and
American collection of art from all over the world. National Center of the
Pacific situated inside the crater of Punchbowl above the centre of
Honolulu, is the sanctuary of Americans, the men or women, who gave their
life in the service of the Homeland. This place, beautiful and serene, is
worth being visited. It turns out that one of the big centres of interest
of the town was also the theater of an immense tragedy. Arizona Harbour
Memorial of Pearl Harbour is the grave of 1102 privates and officers who
died in the Japanese attack of December 7th, 1941. The enormous American
battleship poured in 5 minutes after been touched, gobbling up with him
most of the crew. It is Alfred Preis, the local architect, who was chosen
to set up this white monument to the sharp and delicate lines, become a
national mausoleum today.
You can visit the zoo of
Waikiki, its aquarium or throw kites in its park Kapiolani. The waikiki
Shell, among which the concerts of classical music, the jazz and the rock
'n' roll attract the crowds is behind the zoo. Sit down on the lawn of
hillsides, satisfy hunger with a dinner sprayed a good wine and watch the
moon getting up on Diamond Head while listening to a quality artist, here
is certainly an original shape of entertainment that the island can offer
. For something really different, try the flea market of Aloha Stadium at
the end of week; it is the version, to Oahu, of an oriental general store.
Go to see a football game to the university of the Hawaiian Islands in the
same stadium. The atmosphere inside the stadium is not commonplace either
because the local supporters try to impress their opponents by throwing
them beatings of ti leaves.

We find old numerous admirable buildings in
the heart of Honolulu of which C.Brewer high, rise at 827 Strong Street
(built in 1930), which looks like much more a particular hotel than an
administrative building, as well as the Alexander and Baldwin Building
(built in 1929) in 822 Bishop Street. The visit of Honolulu would not be
complete without a walk in the Chinese district which raises as a bastion
of oriental tradition in the middle of the modernism maniac who surrounds
it. If you go back up King Street the prosperous, northward the West you
will be surprised with the sudden deterioration of the environment. Modern
Honolulu takes airs of Hong-Kong with its inter lacings of dark and
mysterious alleys, its dialect and its steams. Several historic buildings
were restored and renewed and we are entitled to hope that a little of
cleaning will fall of the vitality in this part of the city. Several
organizations propose you daily walking through the town. The Bishop
museum in 1135 Kalihi Street is one of the best museums to the world.
Eternal monument dedicated to princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Its Hawaiian
collection is particularly impressive. The museum also presents an
interesting collection of Polynesian craft as well as an impressive
library rich in collections dedicated to the Hawaiian and Polynesian
history.
