This historic 15-block district is reported to be the oldest "Chinatown" in the United States, dating back 120 years. This is Hawaii's most exciting and mysterious neighborhood with a fascinating collection of specialty shops and restaurants. Chinatown is a colorful and eclectic blend of Southeast Asian cultures working together and perpetuating their cultures.

Visitors and residents can buy fresh produce, fish, meat, noodles, tea, candied fruit, and a multitude of other Asian delicacies. There are art exhibits, herbalists, fine jewelry stores, and temples. "Variety" best describes the Chinatown experience.
