2024 New Plymouth Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)

My friends brought me here to see the scenery, they said it is the most beautifull beach they have near them. I agree! There’s just sonething about the ocean that makes you feel so calm and at peace. 😊

Mount Taranaki is a dormant volcano, also known as Mount Egmont. Because its shape is a very symmetrical cone, and it looks like Mount Fuji in Japan, it is called the Mt. Fuji in the southern hemisphere. The film "The Last Samurai" used to take pictures here and pretend to be Mount Fuji. One of the good places to watch the mountain is called Te Rewa Rewa Bridge. Another name for this bridge is: White Bridge. Shaped like a fishbone, it is in a straight line with Mount Taranaki. Standing at one end of the bridge, you can see the snow-capped mountains through the bridge. The design is very clever. This is still the starting point of a 7km coastal walkway. I didn't go because of the time, but I heard a passing old lady telling me that this trail can see both the sea and the new Plymouth city. Today's weather is not the best weather to watch the snowy mountains. The mountains are always hazy, and the southern hemisphere's Mount Fuji is not willing to reveal its true colors. So I was on this bridge for an hour, and finally I hoped to see the snow-capped mountains. is the old lady mentioned earlier. I walked back and saw that I was still waiting here. I boasted that I was patient. So we talked about it. She came to New Zealand for two years because the beauty here has been left. Chatting and talking about the snow-capped mountains, the kind of spectacle is not expressible by the photos. After a while, the sun was slanting and the sun was getting better. At that moment, I really hope that I can stay here too.

A beautiful day exploration ❤️

#gardencityexploration The hidden little luck of New Zealand in the Southern Hemisphere #The strange experience has increased again. Guess where I am® I never dreamed that the first time I participated in the traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony was in the southern half of the earth. At the end of the ceremony of the city with Little Fuji of New Zealand, I was treated as a Japanese and said Japanese to me I chatted with the tea artist and the host and said that l went to Japan twice, but I didn't expect to participate in this ceremony for the first time in New Zealand. The host's humorous reply is that this is the third time you have been to Japan. The bricks and tiles of the house are all imported from Japan, including stones. And today's ceremony, everyone also crawled in like the most traditional samurai in and out. At the beginning, I came to this city because I realized my wish not to go to Mount Fuji. Today, I experienced the super authentic Tea Ceremony here Every detail evokes the picture of "Every Day is a Good Day". Everything that happened is not real. Ps This activity is only available during the GardenFestival in NewPlymouth on 11.1-10. You need to book tickets online (2024 tickets have been sold out. It is recommended to buy tickets one month in advance next year) $15 The whole ceremony lasts about an hour. Photos are not allowed during the ceremony. You can take photos at will after the end. It's a pity that you couldn't record the process of the ceremony. #Japanese Tea Ceremony #New Zealand #Today's Little Luck

Beautiful park and garden🪴

#parksandgardens New Plymouth City Garden under Little Mount Fuji Pukekura Park Fernery and Display Houses On the trip to New Plymouth, in addition to Mt Taranaki "Little Mount Fuji", the most unforgettable thing is the four well-kept greenhouse gardens in Pukekura Park. It was opened to the public on January 28, 1928, and it has been nearly 100 years since then. • Fernery and Display Houses not only has abundant ferns (2,340 ferns were planted in 1927 according to the official website data), but also phalaenopsis, large-flowered orchids, begonia, ornamental kale and chrysanthemums, etc. There are many varieties. There are also niche novelties, such as the dark phalaenopsis (and I saw the blooming of autumn begonia for the first time here, and most of the time in China, it is in a leaf-viewing state 2). The construction of the whole Fernery and Display Houses comes from public fundraising, which is really meaningful and interesting. In 1934, the generous donation of Brookland Manor created the abundance of plants here. Giant 4 entrance fee: free Address: Navigate directly to "Pukekura Park Fernery and Display Houses" Opening hours: Monday to Sunday 8:30am - 4pm (Wednesday 3pm Off) Although on this trip to New Plymouth, I only saw a small corner of the snow top of Mt Taranaki, it was really exciting to meet this place by accident- #Little Mount Fuji in New Zealand #Newlymouth #绿桔治俞_机#的龙芦口记 #New Zealand niche travel places
