Aloha Tower and Honolulu Harbor

夏威夷檀香山市中心火奴鲁鲁湾9号码头的Aloha Tower建于1926年，是夏威夷地标性建筑，就如同纽约自由女神像一样多年来迎接了无数的海外移民。现在，这里已经转型为夏威夷太平洋大学的校区，有一些餐厅吸引游客造访。周边码头停靠了檀香山之星晚餐邮轮等大大小小的邮轮与渔船，海湾中还有美国海岸护卫队的船只。

Pan-Pacific Parade

As the Hawaiian sun sets on Waikiki Beach on Sunday, the Pan-Pacific Festival culminates with a grand finale – the Pan-Pacific Parade! Colorful performers, dynamic drummers, and ethnic cultural groups from around the world all march down Kalakaua Avenue in a spirited procession. It begins at Fort DeRussy Park, at the top of Waikiki, and finishes at Kapi’olani Park which is at the other end of Waikiki.

Spectators gather along the length of Kalakaua Avenue, some bringing folding chairs or mats to sit on, to watch hundreds of performers from Hawaii and around the world, march or ride in convertible cars as they participate in this vibrant Parade! Okinawan performers, high school marching bands, taiko drummers, steel pan musicians, hula dancers, ukulele strummers, cheerleaders, lion-dragon dancers, sparkling flag twirlers, Korean traditional performers, and beauty queens; each year brings different performers, but they are always spirited and enthusiastic as they strut their stuff in this pageantry of color!
