Included general admission AND Chinatown Walking Tour with the Go Oahu Card |
Join us for a walk through Chinatown – Honolulu’s exciting and mysterious neighborhood. Located in downtown Honolulu, this historic neighborhood has long been a popular gathering place for locals and visitors alike. As a gateway to Hawaii for many immigrants, Chinatown is a colorful and eclectic blend of Southeast Asian cultures where Vietnamese, Laotian, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Filipino, Hawaiian, Korean, and Caucasian merchants work harmoniously together, selling their wares and perpetuating respective cultural traditions. Locals come to Chinatown daily to buy fresh produce, fish, meat, manapua, candied fruits and vegetables, noodles, tea, duck eggs, char siu and other Asian delicacies.
“Variety” best describes the visitor’s Chinatown experience. All within a fifteen-block area, one may consult an herbalist, view an art exhibit, and see a dancing lions with drummers, make an offering at a Buddhist temple, or buy precious jade and a cheong sam gown. Chinatown’s history is a rich part of Hawaii’s story. The Hawaii Heritage Center is an educational, non-profit, tax exempt organization whose mission is to preserve and perpetuate Hawaii’s multi-cultural heritage through its interpretive walking tours, exhibits and other public events.
