Dunedin is the second largest city in South Island and the fourth largest city in New Zealand. It has a small population but is the earliest developed area. The gold rush a hundred years ago led to a large influx of population. There were hundreds of trains coming in and out every day. Now the prosperity has faded and only a few sightseeing trains are left every day. Those who like train travel can sign up for sightseeing tours. There are three routes to choose from. Dunedin Railway Station 🚂 is a must-visit attraction in the city. Its warm yellow design and tiled interior are still well preserved even though it is a hundred years old. The square is planted with a large area of ​​flowers, and many residents will take a walk in the evening🚶 🇳🇿New Zealand has traces of the British Empire everywhere due to its British colonial background. Dunedin was opened up by the Scots, so the whole city has a strong Scottish style and is very suitable for city walks. You can come and take a walk❤️

The century-old Dunedin Railways, designed by George Troup, can be said to be the busiest station in Dunedin. Although it is currently renovated, there is still quite a lot of introduction and guidance Gorge, must be very praised 💗, even outside the station there is a maze garden, many plants, chairs, see many old people, children come to sunbathe and walk #familygoodplace #familytravel

Invercargill is a city located in the south of New Zealand. Not only are the buildings here quite historic, but huge murals can also be seen everywhere, creating a very artistic atmosphere. There is a small zoo at the entrance of Queens Garden next to the water tower. On one side is a lively ostrich and a small family of three alpacas, and on the other side is a hare and another alpacas. There is a notice on the iron fence prohibiting tourists from feeding the ostriches. Although the ostriches will follow tourists closely when they see them, for their sake it is better to abide by the rules and just take pictures. Queens Garden is quite large, with a rich variety of plants, and some special courtyards such as the Japanese garden and the newly built Chinese garden. They even thoughtfully built a small greenhouse. At this time of June in New Zealand is autumn and winter, so you don't have to worry about not seeing blooming flowers and green plants in the greenhouse. In the middle of the greenhouse, there is a small pond with a special bow built on the middle, and various palm-sized goldfish are stocked in the pond. In addition, the three areas are divided into three areas with different plants planted in them, which is really a well-designed design. #June2024

Dunedin is the capital of the Otago region in New Zealand, the second largest city on the South Island, and the fourth largest city in the country, following Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. It is the largest port, transportation, and commercial center on the South Island. The city's architecture is typically Scottish in style, and it is known as the 'most Scottish city outside of Scotland.' It serves as the economic, trade, and cultural center of the southeastern region of the South Island. Recommended attractions: Dunedin Railway Station University of Otago Baldwin Street St. Paul's Cathedral

The University of Otago, geographically located in Dunedin, New Zealand, ranks among the top 125 universities in the world and is renowned as New Zealand's leading research university.

| Dunedin, New Zealand. Perhaps it was overshadowed by the halo of Queenstown and Tekapo, but Dunedin was not an important stop during our visit to New Zealand at first. But after I came here, I really wanted to stay for two more days. It's more like walking in an exquisite European town, but with a bit more of the rough and heroic style of the Atlantic Ocean. Dunedin's urban attractions are very concentrated. The hotel we stayed in is one street away from the Dunedin Railway Station. Museums, railway stations, and churches can all be reached within walking distance. If you are driving around the island, I highly recommend this place as a stopover. Arrange a day to slowly experience the brightness and elegance of Dunedin. Dunedin is much larger than the cities we visited in New Zealand. After checking the information, we found out that it is the fourth largest city in New Zealand and the second largest city in the South Island. The city of Dunedin has a very strong connection with Scotland. Together with many locals, it takes the Scottish celebrations very seriously and regularly holds Haggis programs every year, especially with Dunedin whiskey. During the Scottish Week held every March, people wear traditional clothes and play Scottish bagpipes, filling the city with a Scottish atmosphere. Dunedin's urban architecture is mostly based on typical Scottish style, so it is known as "the most Scottish-like foreign city outside Scotland" and has a strong historical and cultural atmosphere. When it comes to New Zealand's characteristic architecture, you have to mention the Flemish Renaissance and Dunedin Railway Station. Dunedin Railway Station is well-known by New Zealanders for its majestic architecture and magnificent interiors. Dunedin Railway Station, also known as "The Gingerbread House," earned architect George A. Troup the nickname "Gingerbread George." The train station was built using Kokonga basalt and then faced with Oamaru limestone, adding a variety of shapes, textures and materials. After a comprehensive renovation in 1999, the building was completely restored to its former glory. In the park square in front of the train station, the tidy brick paved road records the time when the "Otago Daily Times" was founded, which was also New Zealand's first daily newspaper. Opposite the square was the famous Cadbury Chocolate Factory. The prototype was built based on "Charlie's Chocolate Factory", but it later closed due to poor management. Although fundraising was carried out later, it was eventually demolished in 2021, which is really a pity. About 10 minutes' walk from the train station, you can see a particularly steep road - Baldwin Street. The total length is only 350 meters, but it is recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records because the slope of this street is as high as 40%! The houses on both sides of the street are tilted, and people walking on the street cannot stand upright. The most famous "Chocolate Bean Race" remains on this street. As we all know, in mid-July every year, the annual "Cadbury Chocolate Carnival" takes place in Dunedin, a small town in the South Island of New Zealand. Countless chocolate lovers come from all over the world to join this grand chocolate carnival. 📍 | Dunedin, South Island, New Zealand 🏡 | Leviathan hotel 🎫 | FREE 🆓 Dunedin

An unexpected Italian restaurant in Dunedin Located near Octagon Square I came here with the intention of eating pizza🍕 Otherwise, every day is hamburgers, lamb chops, pies, and other Let's try it for a change of taste hahaha This restaurant has a great atmosphere as soon as you enter, and the toilets are beautiful (the emphasis is in the wrong place 😂) We arrived at around 6pm, without reservation, but people started to pour in after 6pm. Ordered pasta, pizza, appetizer, tiramisu They are all delicious 🤤 The pizza is thin, I ordered the smallest size. I saw the guests at the table in front of me eat the biggest one by themselves. So cool Tiramisu is very special, different from what I had in Taiwan before It’s frozen, and it goes perfectly with this cup!

#christmastrip Embarking on a journey through the Otago Settlers Museum is like hitching a ride on a time-traveling sheep-drawn carriage – without the sheep, though. As you step in, it's like the TARDIS of New Zealand's history, just without the wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff. First stop, the early days of Māori settlement, where you'll discover how the pioneers mastered the art of carving long before IKEA made it cool. Then, brace yourself for a colonial rollercoaster – not the stomach-churning kind, but the one where people figured out how to build homes that didn't blow away in a brisk breeze. Prepare to chuckle at the quirky inventions from yesteryears. Bicycles with enormous front wheels that practically dared you to take a header. It's a museum, not a circus, but close enough. For petrolheads in a time warp, there's a vintage car collection that'll make you appreciate today's vehicles with cup holders and GPS. Try not to imagine parallel parking one of those beasts. But wait, there's more! Dive into the 20th century, where fashion got groovy, disco reigned supreme, and, yes, the mullet made its mark. Experience New Zealand's evolution through the decades, where even the mannequins seem to have a story to tell. The Otago Settlers Museum: Where time-travel meets a hilarious Kiwi twist. It's not just a museum; it's a comedy show with artifacts. Step inside and see history unfold – with a dash of sheepish humor and maybe a few old-school dance moves. Welcome to the Kiwi chronicles

#2024wish In November 2018, I embarked on an unforgettable journey to the First Church Of Otago in Central Dunedin. The majestic neo-Gothic architecture and serene surroundings left an indelible mark on my soul. As I stepped into the historic church, the tranquility within its walls was palpable. Sunlight streamed through stained glass, casting a kaleidoscope of colors. The ornate details told tales of a bygone era, echoing through the hallowed halls. The spiritual aura and breathtaking beauty created a timeless experience. In 2024, I wish to go there again, hoping to reconnect with the profound serenity and immerse myself once more in the enchanting allure of First Church Of Otago.

Come to this artistic town-Dunedin Dunedin is the second largest city in the South Island, after Christchurch. Close to the sea and with a natural harbor, It is a transportation hub at the southern tip of South Island. The city of Dunedin is located in the valley surrounding Otago Harbour. The harbor and surrounding mountains were formed by the past activity of extinct volcanoes. - 🔸Dunedin, New Zealand Recommended one-day cultural tour -University of Otago -First Church of Otago -Dunedin Railways - The University of Otago, the oldest university in New Zealand, Its medical school is the most famous in New Zealand. - As soon as I arrived in this city, I thought of Dalat in Vietnam. European-style buildings and hillsides, slopes and churches Cool weather, artistic street scene Professional street art can be seen everywhere. - The quiet and leisurely ancient city - Dunedin. Dunedin is also known as "the most Scottish place outside of Scotland". I often feel that wandering is not a simple thing. But it is also a romantic and pleasant experience. We have to face many changes and challenges. Make an effort, then prepare for the worst. Then accept the most beautiful arrangement God has given you. Today I took a nice nap lying on the grass in the botanical garden. Occasionally get up and write in my diary or look at the scenery There's nothing special to do. I am enjoying the peace and relaxation now.

Still vividly remember driving through the spacious roads, mountains, green fields, lakes, snow-capped mountains, glaciers and other picturesque scenery in New Zealand many years ago, without the constraints of time, enjoying the freedom and pleasure. In 2023, when we set off again, our first choice for a self-driving destination is still New Zealand, because there you will experience the wonders that you cannot miss in your lifetime. Apart from the fairy-tale cottages in Hobbiton, the Cook Mountains National Park, Queenstown, the West Coast Highway, the Road to Paradise, Lake Wanaka, Glenorchy, Arrowtown, Dunedin Railway Station, Lake Wakatipu, Lake Tekapo, Lake Hawea, Fox Glacier, Milford Sound and other exciting tourist attractions, New Zealand is also a paradise for outdoor sports. Whether it's the lakes of the South Island or the volcanoes of the North Island, they can give you a different experience. In short, there are too many expectations for New Zealand. Compared to the North Island, we prefer self-driving tours on the South Island, so we have arranged most of our travel time for this trip on a self-driving tour around the South Island. We started from Christchurch and went counterclockwise to Fox Glacier, then to Wanaka, Queenstown, Dunedin, and finally to Mount Cook National Park. After that, we returned to Christchurch via Tekapo and went on a self-driving tour of the North Island. TIPS: 1. The interesting small towns in New Zealand are like the soul of the South Island, exuding unique charm everywhere, such as the "Queenstown" known as the adventure capital, the Wanaka with a lonely tree, the "Lord of the Rings" town with the atmosphere of Middle-earth, and the Arrowtown with an autumn story. 2. Due to the diverse terrain and complex road conditions in New Zealand, please drive safely and try to allow enough time to avoid driving at night.
