Honolulu: Capital City and Pacific Crossroads
Honolulu covers a narrow strip of land between the Ko'olau Range and the Pacific Ocean on the south shore of Oahu. The city is the state capital, the seat of Honolulu County, and the economic center of Hawaii. Roughly 350,000 people live within the city proper, while the broader metropolitan area accounts for most of the state's population.
The Port of Honolulu handles the majority of goods entering the state. Nearly everything consumed in Hawaii arrives by ship, and the port's container terminals process millions of tons of cargo annually. Daniel K. Inouye International Airport is the primary gateway for tourists and residents alike, connecting the islands to the U.S. mainland and Asia-Pacific destinations.
Downtown Honolulu contains the state capitol, Iolani Palace, and the financial district. Iolani Palace is the only royal palace on American soil, built in 1882 by King Kalakaua. Chinatown, immediately northwest of downtown, has markets, galleries, and restaurants that reflect over a century of immigration from China, Japan, the Philippines, and Southeast Asia.
The University of Hawaii at Manoa, the flagship campus of the state university system, sits in the Manoa Valley above downtown. Tripler Army Medical Center, painted pink and visible from much of Honolulu, serves military personnel across the Pacific region.
Transportation in Honolulu depends primarily on private vehicles. TheBus, Oahu's public transit system, provides service to the area, though frequency varies by route and time of day.
