This site is under construction. We will be back and we will be everything you could expect in a 
Chinese-American Chinatown site and more. History and cultural information about China and Asian 
nations, games, things for the young and old to do, Chinese newspapers, clubs, organizations, 
Chinese opera and drama, martial arts, Chinese foods, cooking, music, religion, literature, art, poetry, 
calligraphy, the history and heritage of Hawaii's local Chinese community (going back to China 1700 
BC and earlier), stories of the beginnings of Chinatown of old and the Chinese migration to Hawaii, 
contributed stories from Chinese men great and small, contributed biographies, stories and interviews
with local Chinese people, pictures and maps of old Hawaii and China, all information presented in the 
most accurate fashion and updated form as possible, and almost anything dealing with China and the 
local Chinese migration to Hawaii will be found here. A business man's journal, Economics and Trade 
with China, as well as current information and articles on business, politics, and society in mainland 
China will be found at this website.

Webhosting and free webdesign will be offered. Host with us to be listed on our new mall.  Help us 
and the Chinese community, we are a single family in Hawaii coming from the Chou Dynasty roots 
from the Chungshan District in mainland China. Without public support, we will cease to exist. 
Please help our very worthy cause. We ask for so little and we give so very much. Our short name is 
Chinatown Hawaii . 

As the descendants of the original founders of the Hawaii's Chinatown district and Hawaii's local 
Chinese community (over 80 percent of all of Hawaii's Chinese comes from the southern seat of the 
Chou Dynasty called Chungshan), we attempt to represent Hawaii's entire Chinatown community and 
Hawaii's local Chinese heritage. The Chou Dynasty, throughout China's history, has been the main 
ancestral thread, heart and center, of all of China's civilization. The same occurs here in Hawaii and so 
we would like to take this opportunity to tell our story and to use this site as the main site for all of 
Hawaii's local Chinese.

Our short name or trade name, established in 1996, is "Chinatown Hawaii" 
(http://chinatownhawaii.com). We have not taken the domain of chinatownhawaii.org and have 
intentionally left that for Honolulu City and County's use as an informational site on Chinatown.
Chinatown Hawaii is our trade name, US Trade Name application pending. We are an information 
site about the Chinese heritage and culture in the State of Hawaii and directory listing of businesses
and shops in the Chinatown districts in the State of Hawaii. In the past (1860s to 1900s), our heritage 
was and has been the moving force behind Hawaii's Chinese community and culture found here in the 
State of Hawaii.

We represent or try to represent our Chinese family (clan members, relatives, and relations) here in
Hawaii and we try to tell their story/our story of our migration to and struggles in Hawaii USA.

We are Chinese and so our very unique Chinese perspective and outlook in life will be reflected in this
online Chinese website. Our very nature, attitudes, history, outlook, and feelings as true people of
Chinese ancestry.

Please help us with the construction of this website.
