EXPERIENCING CHINATOWN,
HONOLULU
T

in Honolulu, Hawaii. Established in the 1800s, it is one of
the oldest Chinatowns in the United States. Originally,
Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) / Blake Bronstad
this area is where immigrant Chinese families began to estab-
lish family-owned businesses. In the mid-1800s an influx of
contract laborers came to Hawaii to work on the sugar planta-
tions, the majority of them signing 5-year work contracts. Once
these contracts expired many of the Chinese immigrants moved
to Honolulu's Chinatown in search of work or the opportunity
to open their own businesses. Today, Chinatown has maintained
its heritage while maturing into a thriving multicultural hub that
features a diverse selection of ethnic restaurants, shopping, and
a growing art scene.
n Sample Diverse Cultures through Dining
Chinatown has several award-winning restaurants for you to
choose from. Stroll the neighborhood and you will come across
restaurants offering ramen, pizza, guava-covered lamb chops
and so much more. Whether you're looking for an ethnic dining
experience or a sampling of ethnic street food, you will find a
taste bud pleasing encounter.
n Experiencing Nightlife
Bar hopping is easy in Chinatown Honolulu due to the close
proximity of the bars. You will discover dive bars next to chic
