About traveling to Australia and New Zealand

Located in the north, it is called "the best place to have both natural scenery and urban life". Tourism here usually starts from the center of city life. As the largest city in New Zealand, the charm of Auckland can be seen. Its urban planning is based on its long and narrow terrain, beaches are all over the banks, and the harbour bridge connects the two harbors. Bridges, harbors and sleeping Ranjitoto volcano constitute a spectacular natural landscape. The most famous beaches on the west coast are Piha and Muriwei, with clear water and fertile sand, which is a paradise for windsurfers. Tacapuna Beach and Longbei on the north shore are excellent places for swimming and diving under the full sunshine and shining golden light.

You can't come to Oakland without seeing the tower of the sky. The tallest building in the southern hemisphere, 328 meters high, towering over Auckland, provides visitors with a perfect panoramic view.

Christchurch (Christchurch)

It is the largest city in the South Island and the second gateway of New Zealand to all parts of the world except Auckland. Christchurch, which is full of British flavor everywhere, is the most British city outside Britain, and an elegant building in the19th century. The roads here are neat and the trees are swaying, so it has the reputation of "garden city". Nostalgic trams in the city roam around the main attractions of the city, and tourists can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the city by carriage. The nostalgic atmosphere is exciting.

Christchurch is the central city of Canterbury Plain. It is a wonder to take off from here by hot air balloon and watch the morning fog and plains. In addition, you can climb to the top of the mountain by crane, overlooking the endless coastline, green plains and towering southern alps.

Christchurch was once a research center for exploring the Antarctic. In the Antarctic center, there are materials of various organizations investigating the Antarctic, as well as exhibition themes simulating the Antarctic landform, climate and ecological environment.

Dunedin

At first glance, Dunedin seems to be just an elegant historical town, but it has perfect buildings, is surrounded by a busy university town, and is full of the characteristics of a metropolis. Art galleries, cinemas, concert halls and theaters constitute its rich cultural atmosphere, and many bars and cafes are excellent places to relax. In the city center, most scenic spots are within walking distance. Ancient fashion is another major feature of Denedin, which has a rich heritage. Many urban landscapes are a tribute to the architecture of19th century.

QueenStown (Queenstown)

Located on the lake Katipu, it is a tourist town in New Zealand, although it is sparsely populated. It not only has beautiful lakes and mountains, but also is unique because it is backed by excellent mountains and faces the third largest lake in New Zealand. Visitors can take the climbing crane to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the town and track the whereabouts of exotic birds. If you are in high spirits and add courage, you can try bungee jumping and challenge yourself.

Otago district (Otago)

Guide the central and southeast coastal areas of the island. The inland areas of central China have a long history of gold panning. Starting from Denedin, going north along the coastal expressway and arriving in umaru, Victorian architecture can be seen everywhere, and people seem to be able to glimpse the enthusiasm of gold diggers in the last century.

Ranah Castle

It is the only ancient castle in New Zealand, and its wooden furniture is the best antique collection in New Zealand. Its unique architectural style is a combination of neo-Gothic Renaissance architecture and British colonial architecture. It was built by 200 craftsmen and three British sculptors spent 12 years decorating the interior. Its magnificent interior includes not only the Italian gypsum ceiling, the glass wall in Venice, a one-ton marble bathtub, but also the only hanging ladder in the southern hemisphere during King George's time.

There is also a story about the castle, which combines romance, tragedy and scandal. This castle was originally built for the beautiful French heiress Eliza, the first wife of William Lanak. Eliza died tragically when she was young, leaving six children who lost their mothers. After her death, Lanak married two more wives. Later, the third wife fell in love with Lanak's son from the first wife, which led Lanak to go crazy and commit suicide in the parliament building. This tragedy sounds amazing.
