Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony
蟹蟹斜橙Taking photos is not allowed in the conservation center, and the flash will affect the penguins returning to their nests. The little penguins are so cute that we bought penguin dolls after seeing them. The quality of tourists is not very good, mainly Asian tourists. They always break the rules of keeping quiet and not using mobile phones.
Whitestone City
Ttiramisu1130Oamaru White Stone Town, South Island, New Zealand Walking into the quiet White Stone Town, it feels like going back to the most prosperous port city of Oamaru in the 19th century. The buildings in the town are all built with solid white stone, which is probably why it got its name! A European style travels back to the prosperous Victorian era. It is a unique town that combines history and humanity!
Steampunk HQ
闲闲庭漫步30This 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. After entering and reading the introduction, I realized that this is the headquarters of steampunk.
The so-called steampunk is a science fiction theme based on the Victorian era, which originated from the 1980s to the early 1990s. In this magical world, the early technology and steam power of the Industrial Revolution are infinitely mythical and used everywhere. Gentlemen wearing top hats drive steam locomotives roaming in the sky. Haha, I really learned a lot. After the visit, I feel that my overall quality has improved again.

Oamaru Public Garden
Ppxy0705Omaru 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.
Oamaru's Victorian Precinct
翱翱翔的大鲨鱼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.
Thames Street
翱翱翔的大鲨鱼Walking along Thames Street in Oamaru at night, the town is so quiet, the dim street lights dot the local old buildings, making the pure white Oamaru limestone look more beautiful. It is definitely worth a visit.
St Luke's Anglican Church
闲闲庭漫步30The 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.
