Aranyi Palace is the only royal palace in American territory, located in the center of Honolulu. It is one of the most historic cultural attractions in the Hawaiian Islands, and it is also a place that can evoke the sad historical memory of the Hawaiian Kingdom. "Aranyi" means "bird of paradise" in Hawaiian. This palace was built in 1882 by King David Karakava, known as the "Happy King" in the history of the Kingdom of Hawaii, and it took three years to complete. It is said that at that time, in view of the constant provocation and oppression of western colonists, King Karakava was determined to build the kingdom of Hawaii and spent 300,000 US dollars to build this palace with Italian Renaissance style, which was known as "Versailles Palace in the Pacific Ocean".

Kilauea volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, located on the big island of Hawaii. Halema'uma'u crater was formed after Kilauea volcano erupted in 2008, and it is also the most interesting crater for tourists to visit the park in recent years.
