    You won't find the entrance on the ground level, take an escalator inside the hotel and go down to the basement. Although i find the admission fee is a bit high but a tall sky tower overlooking the city of Auckland is a must see... don't miss it.

    An ocean world built below sea level, not big, but the popular science is very good, there are many penguins. Just looking at the water near Auckland through the glass, it is not as clear as imagined. Worth a visit

    The whole experience was great, and it's a great place to learn about New Zealand's history and culture. The museum is quite large and worth a good half-day visit. There are many interactive exhibits, especially suitable for taking children out. There are also Chinese services, which is recommended.

    Although Mount Eden is not high, you can overlook the whole of Auckland from the top of the mountain, and the view is particularly wide. The remains of the crater are clearly visible, covered with green grass, a peaceful green. It is not difficult to walk all the way up. You can also see sheep grazing on the hillside. Their leisurely appearance makes people can't help but take a few more photos. The wind on the top of the mountain is very strong, but it is also very fresh, which makes people feel particularly bright. It is a good place that does not require tickets or planning, but can leave very deep memories.

    Auckland Central Park is not like the common landscape parks in the city. It is more like a natural forest. The winding tree-lined paths and the tall trees on both sides make you feel like you are walking into the original green field, with thick fallen leaves and soft soil under your feet. The air is filled with the fragrance of plants, which is very suitable for jogging, walking the dog or just taking a quiet walk. There are also several sculptures and small bridges hidden along the way, which adds a little fun. Although it is not far from the city, you can completely escape the rhythm of the city once you enter the park.

    It's worth playing, suitable for young children. There are many animals to see, mainly to see kiwi birds, which are very cute and nocturnal animals. There are many fast foods to eat. In general, it's worth checking in once

    It's not as big as I imagined. It's just a pedestrian street, about ten meters wide. There aren't many people. Maybe it's because it's Easter, so many shops are closed. But there are many luxury brands, and the prices are reasonable. There is also Gucci, which is known as the cheapest in the world.

    We will visit two attractions in downtown Auckland early: 1. Enjoy the beautiful view of moored sailboats and yachts at the yacht port. Local residents are extremely fond of sailing. One in four Aucklanders owns a sailboat or yacht, which is the highest number of sailboats in the world. Sailing culture is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Auckland is therefore known as the "City of a Thousand Sails" and the "City of Sailing". ​

    Highlights: One Tree Hill Park is open to the public free of charge. It is lush with trees, pleasant scenery, and pastoral scenery. There are herds of cattle and sheep, pheasants, and various birds. People often do morning exercises or walks here. In particular, there is the intoxicating cherry blossom forest, which is a good place to enjoy cherry blossoms in Auckland every spring.
