Ala Wai Canal, the Allawi Canal, or the Allawi Canal, an artificial canal in Honolulu. The canal is the northeast border of the Waikiki region. Usually visitors mention Honolulu and think of the famous Waikiki, the Waikiki region between the Alawi Canal and the Pacific Ocean, south and southwest of the canal, while Waikiki's west and southwest are adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. The Alawi Canal, which runs through Waikiki District, opens at Lake Kahanamoku (Kahanamoku Lagoon) and Port Alawi (Ala Wai Harbor), first east, after crossing the Alawi Avenue (the Avenue Bridge crosses the canal), then starts to turn southeast, all the way to the Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library (Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library), from the map, End there. Of course, more precisely, the reverse is the starting point of the tributary and the end point of the port of Alawi. The canal is in the section of the port of Alawi "open" east, which is the broad Alamora region to the north and the broad Waikiki region to the south. The canal was built in 1921 and completed in 1928. It has been dredged three times since then, in 67, 1978 and 2002; The purpose of the canal was to drain, when Waikiki area was covered with marshlands and rice fields, and later became a flood dischargeway in the central and eastern parts of Honolulu city. There are three roads across the canal: McCullough Street (McCully Street), Kalkaua Avenue ( Ala Moana Boulevard), Alamona Avenue ( Ala Moana Boulevard). Between the three bridges, the riverside road that stretches along the canal is called the Alawi Corridor or the Alawi Trail (Ala Wai Promenade). The promenade or the trail is a good place for an empty and quiet walk. Sometimes people fish by the bridge, some jogging... In my opinion, the situation is more interesting than the beach.
