For a time Sun Yat-sen, father of the Chinese nationalist movement, lived in Keokea. He’s honored at Sun Yat-sen Park, found along the Kula Hwy (Hwy 37), 1.7 miles beyond Grandma’s Coffee House. The park has picnic tables and is a great place to soak up the broad vistas that stretch clear across to West Maui.
