New Zealand's characteristic towns with both natural scenery and cultural temperament

Oamaru, a seaside town in New Zealand, has the most complete Victorian-era buildings in New Zealand, and the historical site area has a strong sense of art. The natural scenery blended with the unique cultural temperament makes me feel very fond of this place. It would be more interesting if you could come across a weekend market or Victoria Cultural Festival. This town is full of punk style and has many steam installations. The iconic abandoned locomotive still hums and emits steam. When the car drives in here, it feels incredible that there is such a distinctive town in New Zealand's South Island. 🧩Share a few attractions: 📍Small town historical district There are many stone buildings and interesting art installations in the block, and the large bicycle wheels are super fun. There are also many bakeries, grocery stores, second-hand stores, and antique shops in these buildings. The storefronts are also very creative, funny, retro, and curious. You can also have a costume show and cosplay medieval characters. It is said that there will be a fashion show every year. 📍friendly bay playground The non-powered park for children has zip lines, bowling balls, swings, and many other small devices. You can play for an entire afternoon. There is a 🈶️ beach next to it. 📍oamaru blue penguin colony At the Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony, you can see very cute little penguins. Generally, people travel at night and many will stay here for a night in order to see the penguins. Be careful not to use flash. 📍katiki point lighthouse A spot near Oamaru where you can squat to see lazy seals. Of course, the coastline here is also beautiful🌊 📍the fish wife A lobster restaurant that is worth a special trip to eat. There are two very popular lobster restaurants in the South Island, and another one in Kaikoura. There will be many people waiting when the door opens at 10 am, although it may be sold out in the afternoon. 📍Moeraki Boulders Passing by on the way from Oamaru to the lobster shop, there are many large boulders on the beach. It took millions of years to form. The soft mudstone in the boulders appeared on the seabed as early as 15 million years ago. It emerged over time. The landscape is very unique! Oamaru is a treasure town. Not only does it have many attractions and outstanding natural scenery, it is also very suitable for living. It has large supermarkets, accommodation, and restaurants. If you are not in a hurry, you can definitely add it to your list! New Zealand Oceania
