About Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam
Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam Local Experiences Map
生长在海边的果果:“The whole family accompanied my parents to Hawaii, and Pearl Harbor was of course an important part of the tour. It included a lot of content, with the focus on the Arizona and Missouri battleship memorials. It was raining at the time, so the tour of the upper deck of the Missouri was temporarily cancelled, and I was disappointed that I didn't see the combat command cabin. The local climate is really good when it is sunny, but when it rains, it is fast and heavy like a bucket of water. You must bring sunscreen and an umbrella when you go out.”
生长在海边的果果:“As a key visiting project of Pearl Harbor, you must set aside more than 2 hours. The lower level is where naval officers and soldiers live and work, the deck focuses on the site where Japan surrendered during World War II, and the upper level has a combat command room.”
“戴黛”:“🏖Beautiful beach check-in spot
● Naxianghai Diamond Beach: The sand here is as fine as powder, shining in the sun, and the sea water is clear and has a charming gradient color🌊. In the evening, the afterglow of the sunset sprinkles on the beach, and the whole picture is as beautiful as a movie scene. It is a blockbuster with just a casual shot. Strolling along the beach, blowing the sea breeze, and feeling the good years, it is simply too comfortable.
● Jinshiwan Art Park: The seaweed houses in the park are unique and are a typical representative of Jiaodong traditional architecture. They are scattered on the seaside, set off by the sea, blue sky, and grass, full of artistic atmosphere🎨. Here, you can slow down, appreciate the unique architectural style, and take literary and fresh photos from all angles.
● Xiaoshi Island: It is a treasure check-in spot in Weihai! During the day, the sea water is sparkling, suitable for walking along the beach and riding the waves🌊. In the evening, this is a great place to watch the sunset at sea. The sun slowly sets, dyeing the sky orange-red, and the entire sea surface is shrouded in afterglow, which is breathtakingly beautiful. It is also a good place to go to the sea. When the tide is low, you can bring small tools to experience the fun of catching crabs and digging clams.
🏘A good place for humanities
● Liugong Island: As an important witness to China's modern history, Liugong Island carries rich historical and cultural connotations. There is the Sino-Japanese War Museum on the island, which displays a large number of precious historical relics and materials, vividly showing that magnificent history. When you board Liugong Island, it seems that you can travel through time and space, feel the golden weapons and iron horses of the year, and have a deeper understanding and thinking of history💪.
● Weihai Huaxia City: Here, natural landscapes and cultural landscapes are cleverly combined. There is the magnificent first archway in China, the simple and elegant Xia Garden, and the wonderful landscape performance. Here, you can enjoy the beautiful garden scenery, feel the strong cultural atmosphere, watch the shocking performances, and appreciate the charm of Weihai in all aspects🎊.
🍱Special food is not to be missed
● Weihai barbecue: Weihai's barbecue is unique, featuring seafood barbecue. Fresh squid, oysters, scallops, etc., are grilled on charcoal fire, with golden and crispy skin, tender and juicy inside, and sprinkled with special seasonings, the fragrance is overflowing, making people salivate🍗.
🎈Tips for playing
● Transportation: The transportation in Weihai is relatively convenient, and buses can reach most attractions. If you want to travel more freely, renting a car and driving yourself is also a good choice, and you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way🚗.
● Accommodation options: If you like lively, you can choose to live in the city; if you want to get close to the sea, the seaside homestay is a good choice, and you can see the beautiful sea view as soon as you open your eyes in the morning🏨.
● Seasonal recommendation: Summer (June-August) is the peak tourist season in Weihai. The weather is warm and suitable for swimming and water sports. Autumn (September-November) has clear skies and plump seafood. You can taste a variety of fresh seafood, which is also a good time to travel🌞.”
WanderinAussie:“A must see for all who visit Hawaii and appreciate history. It was a very humbling experience to visit a place I had only ever heard about in text books before.”
JQKABBQ:“Come and snorkel with the turtles! Be sure to book the tour in advance. We booked the 1pm tour. Free drinks and snacks are provided on the boat. Be sure to spray sunscreen to avoid sunburn. Remember to bring a bath towel or it will be a bit cold when the sea breeze blows after it gets wet. Sisters who are afraid of water and dare not snorkel, don’t be afraid! The captain will teach you and take you!
Makapu'u Lighthouse Trail (p.4-5) It takes 30 minutes to complete the one-way walk. It is recommended to bring a bottle of water and pay attention to sunscreen. It is really hot. There are no shops to buy water along the way, but it is really worth it after climbing to the top!
^ Kualoa Ranch recommends booking the tour 3 weeks in advance! When we booked it, there was only a 2-hour horseback riding tour left. The ATV was fully booked. But horseback riding is also very interesting. There is a tour leader who will take us to see the scenery of the entire ranch, the mountains and the sea.”
Agatha81:“Taking the shuttle from Pearl Harbor, the first stop is the Missouri, and the second stop is the Pacific Aviation Museum at Pearl Harbor, which is a paradise for military fans and World War II fans. There are a large number of aviation displays in the two warehouses, allowing you to fully understand the development of American military aviation. There is a screening room at the entrance, showing pure English films. Then there is a small exhibition hall, which has Japanese Zero aircraft, aircraft driven by the American Flying Tigers, etc. After the visit, I went to the large pants, and the exhibits inside were amazing. After that, you can take a ferry to visit the Arizona. The whole journey takes about two hours, and it takes more time if you look closely.”
用了十多年的昵称不给用了:“Very good. I booked a 64-seater. The submarine is much larger than the 48-seater. When booking, I also booked a daily Japanese-speaking flight because the Japanese guide can also speak Chinese. But the only drawback is that the ticket pick-up location shown in the text message sent when booking is wrong. You can just go to the pier directly. I asked many people at the time and wasted some time.”
Anonymous user:“The scenery is great, the sea breeze is very comfortable, and we saw many famous movie shooting locations, but we haven't seen many of the movies, and we don't understand the English commentary very well. Overall, it lacks a bit of excitement, but it's still worth a visit.”
Freebird_Grace:“what an interesting experience. The audio guide which is very well explained and detailed accentuates the experience. It's spread on two floors. No time limit so you can go by your own place. Makes for a relaxing trip here with info about the life of king and queen in hawaii. Paid 70 dollars for 4 of us.”

狮子国女王:“Hanauma Bay is located on the east side of Diamond Head Mountain. It is a natural bay. This beach is charged. The beach here is very long and the sea level is gentle, suitable for diving and swimming. Many foreigners lie on the beach to bask in the sun, and pigeons stroll on the beach, which is quite harmonious.”
