A thousand-layer pancake rock, a simple and intuitive name, a unique West Coast attraction. The scenery is spectacular. A huge rock shaped like a thousand-layer pancake protrudes from the cliffs into the sea, or a column of sky, or connected into one piece, magnificent. Stop and watch ~ sea breezes, waves, birds singing; move and change scenery ~ ghostly work, colorful, for the beauty and strength of nature. The facilities are comprehensive. The trails, observation decks and logos of the scenic spots are set very scientifically and comprehensively. After entering the scenic spot, follow the trail and circle clockwise, you can fully view the entire scenic spot without taking any wrong roads; standing on the observation deck, the most spectacular scenery is in front of you, unobstructed; follow the guidance of the signboard, both to increase knowledge and to take reminiscent photos. Convenient transportation. From Greymouth, the car is 45 minutes north along the road, and it is very convenient to park at the gate of the scenic spot on the side of the road. Many tourists regard her as the first stop of the South Island counterclockwise roundabout tour.

Without a photo with the floating wood decoration "HOKITIKA", it is equivalent to not been to Hokitika, not to the west coast of the South Island. The Hokitika tourism brochure compiled by the New Zealand Tourism Bureau, the home page picture is the sunset accompanied by the photo of "HOKIDIKA". A 3-minute walk west from the town's bell tower, through a small gateway, Hokitika Beach is in front of you, the whirring sea breeze, the waves, slapping the black stone beach. The floating wood decoration and the stone green sofa not far from the beach are the most eye-catching objects, tourists often consciously queued to punch in. The preference of small town residents for floating wood "HOKIDIKA" is almost persistent, whenever the wind destroys the decoration of the local or even all, no more than 24 hours, must be renovated with floating wood dead branches available on the beach.

There is such a coastal road in Melbourne, which is a paradise for self-driving travel enthusiasts. This is Ocean Road. Ocean Road was actually built to commemorate the soldiers of World War I. There were many surviving veterans involved in it at the beginning of the establishment, so it was of great significance. The 300-kilometer ocean road, which was built, also attracted many people to visit, where you can see the waves beating the beach.

The Hokitika Valley was formed by glacier movement hundreds of millions of years ago, where the canyon is deep and the forest vegetation is very lush. There are also many underground rivers flowing through, although it feels more dangerous, but it is also very magnificent, it is worth visiting.

We went to the beach at 5:45am to watch the sunrise at low tide. Some parts of the beach were too hot, but we found a good spot, dug a hole and lay in the warm water.
