Early Chinese immigrants arrived on Maui aboard trading or whaling ships, destined to build tunnels and irrigation systems through the mountains. They formed the Wo Hing Society to nurture the ex-pat community, providing social contacts, support in times of crisis and housing for retired workers. It also supported the revolutionary activities of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, renowned as the Father of Modern China and first provisional president of the Republic of China. 858 Front St., Lahaina, www.lahainarestoration.org
