Iolani Palace was the official residence of the Kingdom of Hawaii in the late 19th century. As a royal palace in the United States, it not only carries a rich historical memory, but also showcases Hawaii's unique cultural features. Visitors can visit the royal living area in the palace and learn about the lifestyles of the last two monarchs of Hawaii, Kamehameha IV and Queen Liliuokalani. In addition, the palace also has a special exhibition area that displays traditional Hawaiian costumes, precious cultural relics and artworks, allowing visitors to experience Hawaii's history and culture up close.
