Maui Places of Peace and Power

You can find this ferocious protector at a small roadside park in Keokea called the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park. The view from this park is spectacular, and the energy is fantastic--a place of peace.

"Who was Sun Yat-Sen? Dr. Sun Yat-Sen (1866-1925) was a revolutionary in China and a political leader who was often referred to as the “father of modern China.” Yat-Sen served as the first provisional president when the Republic of China was founded in 1912, after the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty a year before. The ‘Ulupalakua ranch donated the land for the park in 1989. Today the park features a bronze statue of Yat-Sen along with a few other memorial statues."
