It is the city center of Dunedin. Although it is called Octagon Square, it actually looks more like a circular square. A major traffic road passes through this, and other roads finally are here. It feels a bit similar to the Wujiaochang in Shanghai, but the scale is much smaller, and all are flat traffic. The circle around the square is home to churches, town halls, shops and restaurants, and cinemas, a place that citizens and tourists alike enjoy to hang out.
