Governor of Guangdong - Governor Huang Huahua's visit to Honolulu. October 7 - 14, 2005
Governor Huang Huahua and his 70-person delegation visited Hawaii on October 7 – 14, 2005. Governor Huang responded to Governor Lingle’s invitation to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Hawaii-Guangdong sister State-Province relationship.
Hawaii has long-established ties to Guangdong. A majority of Chinese residents trace their ancestry to the province and Dr. Sun Yat-sen, regarded as the “Father of Modern China,” spent his formative years in the islands. He attended Iolani and Punahou Schools in the late 1900’s, and received financial support from Hawaii’s business community for his revolutionary activities.
Highlights:
- A tourism seminar was held on October 12 at the Hawaii Convention Center for travel companies interested in doing business with Hong Kong and Guangdong. Forty individuals representing travel and tourism destinations and businesses met with Hawaii firms and institutions interested in partnership opportunities.
- A photo exhibition from Guangdong Province, entitled: “Dynamic Guangdong: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow,” took place at the “Splendor of China” event at the Blaisdell Center on October 8 and 9, and at Kahala Mall from October 10 to 16.
- A performance by the 110-person Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra at the Blaisdell Concert Hall on October 11 featured both Chinese and Western orchestral compositions.
