The Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony is a delightful destination for wildlife enthusiasts, offering the chance to observe the world&rsquo;s smallest penguins in their natural habitat. Located in Oamaru, New Zealand, the colony is dedicated to the conservation of these adorable creatures.Visitors can enjoy an evening viewing experience as the penguins return from the sea at dusk. The sight of them waddling up the beach and into their burrows is truly charming.

You can only see penguins at around 10 o&#39;clock.
Penguins are very small. You are not allowed to take photos on the stands.

If you haven&#39;t seen them, it&#39;s not bad to come and see them.
But it&#39;s very windy at night, so wear more clothes and bring a cushion. It will feel a bit cold if you sit for a long time.

Omalulan Penguin Protection Center, where tens of thousands of wolf penguins live, is a very precious variety in the penguin family. You can&#39;t visit the island, you can only watch them from a distance from the viewing platform. It is really spectacular to fill the entire seaside in a dense manner.

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!

It coincides with the annual Victorian celebration of Omalu, all dressed up and grandly appeared. Fortunately, I bought tickets for today&#39;s Baishi Town in advance, otherwise I can&#39;t visit the scene. The scenery in Baishi Town is very real. Although the explanation is in English, it is very hard to take pictures for us. The free experience of changing clothes is very interesting. It is recommended to a friend for an experience.

The architectural style of the town deliberately retains the appearance of more than a hundred years ago, so that people who came here returned to the gold rush years of the nineteenth century. Architecture, props, etc. are like a film and television base.
