Nuuanu Pali Lookout has a rich and historical history dating back to the era of ancient Hawaii. This must see the tourists of Oahu living in ancient Hawaiian villages for centuries. Aborigines of Hawaii settled in this area because it is one of the lowest natural points connecting the windward and leeward coast of Oahu. But it certainly was not easy to cross this path.
The Paris Lookout is at the corner of the Kona Orla Range and the thousand feet cliff overlooking Kaneohe Bay and Kailua. It is the perfect place to see the upwind side of Oahu but it looks like a difficult and dangerous effort. Those who visited the island named Rev. Tinker in 1831 tried to walk this way. As being the most direct route he was urged by indigenous people to go upwind via Pali Lookout, but his actual passage was a bit inconvenient. "I felt horrible when passing this pass, I was worried that I would not fall out of a steep rocky place.
The serious face of Paris Lookout is currently not appreciated as a means of crossing the ridge of a steep mountain of the island. There is a tunnel excavated from the cliff that currently offers its function. If you find that you overlooked this area, you may understand. Tinker hesitation continues as you peep at the edge and feel the roar of wind that accompanies the rocky cliff face of the shepherd.
Pali Lookout is known as the last position of the warriors of Kalanikupule and the Kingdom of Maui, in addition to remarkable pass and impressive view. In 1795, King Kamehameha of Big Island of Hawaii turned to Oahu Island to unite the Hawaiian Islands. Kamehameha, who just won the forces of Molokai, Lanai, Maui, had momentum on his side. He also had the advantage of training and equipping modern military technology and equipment. Karanikupuru 's army is a new resource just to teach himself. Previously I recorded two British John Young and Isaac Davis and helped me to understand this new way of war, so Kamehama certainly had a tactical advantage over his enemies I had it. With this, he and his ten thousand soldiers could paddle directly to the heart of Hawaiian, Oahu. On the beach of Waikiki, you can push back the force quickly. The chief named Kaiana, which was once an ally of Kamehameha, joined the last of the Oahu army, but their efforts could not bear Kamehameha's push. Karanikupuru warriors fought as best as they could, but they were quickly pushed into the valley where they stood at the end in the Paris Lookout. The subsequent conflict is now known as the battle of Nuanuu and it is an important transition for the Hawaiian society. In the face of total defeat, more than 400 guards of Oahu have died here on the 1000-foot cliff. Karanikupuru himself searched for evacuation centers in the surrounding cliff and escaped from the battle, but it was captured in the historical sacrifice and was sacrificed to the war god KA-ka-ili-moku of Kamehameha, and the former dominated Maui Kingdom A lot of Hawaii told the ultimate end of.
After the historic victory, the first Kamehameha achieved the goal of uniting the Hawaiian islands which are considered to be the most tired in Hawaii's history. Because people who grew up in the Waipio Valley were said to be "lonely people", to unite the islands under his control was a wonderful way to be surrounded by followers and friends.
This historic event in the history of Hawaii showed a major shift in the transition from traditional Hawaiian life to more modern lifestyle. Kamehameha's efforts may accelerate the decline of certain Hawaiian customs and customs, but the Hawaiian people are not only barbarians but also increasingly Western presence. Without this unification, the Hawaiian monarchy has never been officially established. And sovereignty over a period of 100 years or more following this merger is instead a situation that should have been devastating to protect the unorganized islands in Hawai'i cultures of various Western countries).
In this sense surrounding it, Nua Anne Paris Lookout is a must for visitors to the Hawaiian Islands. When the life in Hawaii was much easier, the howling wind and amazing scenery in the place surrounded by this rainforest can easily carry you and your back. Imagine how you can proceed (and without the help of cars and tunnels) to the gentle coastal waters of the windward coast spreading in front of you. To the house of their island.
