Chinatown, Honolulu, Hawaii

I went to a Dim Sum restaurant with my hubby (the place is called Legend Restaurant, they serve the best Dim Sum  in Honolulu, in my opinion). The restaurant is located in the Chinese Cultural Plaza. We left the restaurant by 12:30pm something and there was a little traffic along the way. Even though I've been in Hawaii for almost 4 years but never really appreciate the beauty of this area. If I was a tourist I'd definitely come to Chinatown to shop and observe the local produces.
By the way, that place you see in the corner of the street is called "Hong Kong." It's one of my favorite places in Chinatown for buying Asian products. :)   
I took these pictures from Maunakea Street.

Makapuu Lighthouse --- มาคาปูอูไลท์เฮ้าส์ เกาะโออาฮู























Tour Kauai Island with Blue Hawaii Helicopter, Hawaii --- นั่งเฮลิคอปเตอร์ชมเกาะคาวาิอิกับบริษัทบลูฮาวาย


While waiting for my helicopter I saw a few tour groups took-off and landed.

Almost my turn!! Can't waitttt!.

Yeah!! the ride begins!!

Oh my, I can't believe I'm really on a helicopter!



Menehune Fishpond.

This beach was in many movies (as my guide said). I can't name any of those movies though. Anyway, I was getting excited to see Kauai Island from the helicopter.

This waterfall was one of the filming locations in Jurasic Park. Yep!! if you guys are a fan of this movie you know what I'm talking about.

I didn't visit this waterfall in this trip (sad). If I go to Kauai again this is one of the must-visit places.

Waterfall at Waimea Canyon.

Waimea Canyon.








Love love loveeeee Kauai!!!!

Can anybody see a mountain goat in this picture?


Amazing, isn't it??

How could I not love Hawaii?

Along the way I spotted some whales. My camera isn't very good so this is all I got.



I saw lots of waterfalls at Mt. Wai'alea'le Crater. I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was definitely my favorite moment of this Kauai trip. 

Picture taken from the front, right-hand seat of the helicopter ( there're 3 seats in the front, 4 seats in the back.). The helicopter has a big-wide window so if you happen to sit in the front, lucky you!! 


Wailua Waterfall. I went to the waterfall the day before I rode the helicopter. It was wonderful when I see it up close but seeing it from this angle makes me appreciate its beauty even more.


The ride came to the end.
