Auckland (New Zealand)
Sailboats cruise by the Harbour Bridge
Auckland has been a hot spot for an awfully long time, but the reasons have
quite fortunately changed.
New Zealand"s largest city and prime international gateway resides on some
48 volcanoes, but it"s been 600 years since lava flowed from any of them. Those
volcanic hills have created great park space, fabulous (惊人的;难以置信的)panoramic
views and twin harbors filled with watercraft. In fact, Auckland"s nickname is
The City of Sails.
It"s a sprawling metropolitan area (actually four cities) of more than one
million souls, including the largest concentration of Polynesians on the planet.
And it"s known for its multicultural flair.
The big attraction is all that waterfront property and the leisure pursuits
that go with it. On land, there"s a variety of museums (including a highly
regarded Maritime Museum) and the famed Kelly Tarlton"s Aquarium, with its
sharks and penguins and masses of sea life.
