At about 8:30, I can only see the penguins at about 10 o'clock. The penguins are very small. It is better to take pictures on the stand and bring a telescope. Otherwise, we may not be able to see clearly. We only stayed until about 10 o'clock because we have to drive the night train... So there is no way to actually watch it often on the road. After the sunset to the penguin. Look at luck. If you haven't seen it, it's not bad to come and see it, but it's windy at night. It's better to wear more. It's best to take a cushion. It's a bit cold after sitting for a long time.

Moeraki Boulders Moraki Big Pebble, located on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island, is a naturally formed geological landscape. The attractions are free to tourists from all over the world. It is easy to find the scenic spots by following the navigation along the road. Park the car in the parking lot at the door, follow the road sign and go to the beach. After a boardwalk, you can see the big boulders in the distance. The beach in the public area is also very clean. You can take off your shoes while driving the sea and enjoying the magic products from nature. The climate was not very good that day, the thick clouds blocked the sun, and the photo imaging was not very good~~~~~~ It is recommended to reach the scenic spot in the sunset (about 17:00 local time). When the seawater recedes, about 50 giant boulders will completely reveal the sea. Kindly known as the "dinosaur egg". The legend of the Moreki boulders, more than a thousand years ago, a sailing warship, Araeteuru, sank on the shore, and the melons and fruits rolled from the cabin floated here. Specialized scientists believe that the boulder formed about 65 million years ago, slowly formed by the crystallized seabed sedimentary mud, and landed here through the motion of the seabed crust. No matter which version, it is a gift from nature, whether it is a round and smooth stone body formed by seawater and sand all year round, or cracking or even breaking due to natural weathering, it is a magical sight, as the New Zealand government calls for the Environmental Protection Act. Similarly, it is not allowed to suffer artificial and intentional damage, otherwise it will face a high fine or even imprisonment! There are many well-growing flowers and plants on the return road, a shopping point, and a shoe-shine board brush. The scenic spot management is very user-friendly!

The relatively large city on New Zealand's South Island, second only to Christchurch, in the evening we bought tickets to go up the mountain and wait for the little blue penguins to land from the sea and return to their accommodation under the sight of many spectators. It gave us a big surprise. The weather was cold and the wind and rain were mixed.

The South Island of New Zealand, Omalu Whitestone Town, walks into the quiet Whitestone town, as if back to the most prosperous port city of Omalu in the 19th century, the buildings in the town are built with strong whitestone, which may be the name! A European style through the prosperous Victorian era, is a unique town with a combination of history and humanities!

The town is rich in limestone, known as Omalu stone, and many of the buildings of Danidine are also obtained from this stone, such as Danidine station, the University of Otago building and so on. Of course, the old buildings in the town mostly use such stones, especially the street Harbour St., which is full of hand-made works to dig treasures.

This is a place to experience a strange feeling. When I first saw it, I thought it was an industrial museum, because there were steam locomotives and other industrial relics piled up at the door. I only knew that this was the headquarters of steampunk after I went in and read the introduction. Steampunk is a Victorian backdrop that stems from the science fiction themes of the 1980s and early 1990s. In this magical world, the early technology and steam power of industrial revolution are infinite myths, and are used everywhere. Gentlemen in hats drive steam locomotives roaming the sky. Haha, it’s really knowledge, and after the visit, I feel that my comprehensive quality has improved.

Omaru Garden is a very beautiful botanical garden in New Zealand. There are flowers in full bloom all year round. Every season has flowers of different colors. It is very beautiful. In the park, the forest is dense, and there are beautiful fountains and sculptures on the wide lawn. It is a lovely garden and worth a walk.

The church is located in the center of Omaru, the building looks simple and spectacular, and the entrance is free. Since the church is located a little higher than other buildings, it overlooks other historical buildings and street views of Omaru.
