[Red heart R] Dunedin: It is the second largest city on the South Island of New Zealand, after Christchurch. The city is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side, built by Scottish descendants in imitation of Edinburgh, hence it is known as the “Edinburgh of New Zealand.” This is also one of the ports for cruise ships heading to Antarctica, and perhaps in the near future, I will depart from here to my dream destination – Antarctica [Two hearts R][Two hearts R][Two hearts R].

[Grass planting R] This time, I chose a two-bedroom apartment called Majestic Mansions (Figures 2-4). The decoration style is very rustic, and the apartment is very close to the seaside, just a two-minute walk away.

[Dome R] The Octagon (Figures 13-15): It is the transportation hub of Dunedin, but there is also a specially designated pedestrian area for tourists. The historic buildings, various shops, and restaurants complement each other, making this ancient city vibrant!
[Rainbow R] Baldwin Street (Figures 16-18): You might not be familiar with this name, but when mentioned by its other title, I believe many have heard of it – “the steepest street in the world”!
