Ala Wai Canal,阿拉維運河,或阿拉威運河,檀香山的一條人工運河。運河是威基基區域的東北邊界。通常遊人們提到檀香山,都會想到著名的威基基(Waikiki),威基基區域位於阿拉維運河和太平洋之間,在運河之南和西南,而威基基的西和西南面鄰太平洋。阿拉維運河,貫穿威基基區,開口在卡哈納莫庫潟湖(Kahanamoku Lagoon)和阿拉維港(Ala Wai Harbor),先往東,過了卡拉卡瓦大道(大道橋在跨越運河上)后開始轉向東南,一直到懷基基-卡帕胡魯公共圖書館(Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library),從地圖上看,就此結束。當然,更確切的說法是反過來,起點於Monoa and Palolo Streams(tributary),終點在阿拉維港。運河在阿拉維港“開口”往東的這段,其北為廣義的阿拉莫拉區域,其南即廣義的威基基區域。運河始建於一九二一年,竣工於一九二八年,此後至今共疏浚三次,一九六七年、一九七八年、二零零二年;運河建造的目的,原為排水,當時威基基區域遍布沼澤地和水稻田,後來成了檀香山市區中部和東部的泄洪水道。跨越運河的橋樑有三條道路:麥卡利街(McCully Street),卡拉卡瓦大道(Kalākaua Avenue),阿拉莫納大道( Ala Moana Boulevard)。在三座橋樑之間,延着運河的河邊道,叫着阿拉維長廊或阿拉威步道(Ala Wai Promenade)。長廊也好,步道也罷,是空闊幽靜的散步的好去處。時而有人在橋旁釣魚,有人慢跑……就我看來,其景其境其情其趣,簡直比海灘還引人入勝。

Located on the left side of Waikikiki Beach, the Arawi Canal is a man-made river, more than 100 meters wide and about three kilometers long. It runs northwest along the northern boundary of the tourist area and into the Pacific Ocean. The river is spacious and clear. On both sides of the canal, there are many hotels and shopping malls. There are several bridges across the canal. It's quiet and a good place for a leisure walk.

You can see it from the window of our room in Waikikiki Island colony. Go out and turn right to the canal. The Ala Wai Canal Canal is the northern boundary of the Waikikiis tourist area, traveling southwest to the Pacific Ocean. The river is spacious and clear. High-rise buildings and fancy small houses stand on both sides of the canal. There are several bridges across the canal. Walking along the canal, breathing fresh air, or doing morning exercises is also good.
