The Ha’amonga ‘a Maui Trilithon
The South Pacific’s parallel of Stonehenge, the Ha’amonga ‘a Maui (Maui’s Burden) Trilithon close to Niutoua, is one of past Polynesia’s most fascinating memorials and one of the best Tourist Attractions in Tonga. Archaeologists and hearsay accredit its establishment to Tu’itatui, the 11th Tu’i Tonga. Others tell it was constructed by old Chinese travelers. Either way, the construction made up of three big coralline stones, each stone’s weight is nearly 40 tones, ordered into a trilithon gate. Mortised junctions confirm the top stone won’t drop off, as per Stonehenge! A strolling trail serpentines northward past some langi(graves; familiar as the Langi Heketa), incorporating ‘Esi Makafakinanga.
Talamahu Market
If you want to find the truth of Nuku’alofa, you have to stroll through the passages at Talamahu, Tonga’s key fresh-produce center. You’ll see vegetables and other goods heaped into handmade baskets, piles of bananas, colorful piles of fruit and several cooked-food stands – plus excellent (and inexpensive) Tongan arts and crafts. The total spot murmurs with chat and commerce, specifically on Saturday mornings.
