The main island of Weno (formerly Moen) is the capital and commercial centre. This is where the fathers of a Jesuit-run school lived and were summoned daily by a large bell. It's also from Weno that tourists can get their best views of the lagoon and its sheltered waters. Chuuk's district centre on Weno is where visitors can experience a taste of island life by visiting the local stores jammed with everything from kerosene stoves to ladies wear and handicrafts. For an outstanding view of Weno and the lagoon, they climb into the old lighthouse built during Japanese occupation and visit the Truk Continental for a stroll in the coconut palm grounds with splendid views across the water to Dublon Island formerly the Japanese military headquarters.
