Auckland

Auckland in New Zealand has risen to the top of the world's most liveable cities for 2021. Auckland is surrounded by impassive subtropical islands with sparkling waters and lush, natural forests. Located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, Auckland is known as New Zealand's most populous and culturally diverse city, bringing both the modern look of European architecture and the wild and classic features of hills, jungles, and beaches big and small. Auckland is blessed with forests, immense ancient beaches, snow-white peaks, particularly fascinating Maori culture, etc. These things have turned this place into a worthy destination dream for those who love to travel. With countless luxury yachts in the harbor, you'll understand why Auckland is also known as the City of Sails.

Located on the north coast of the Auckland region, Bethells Beach is suitable for surfing, fishing, bushwalking, skateboarding, and swimming. In the east of the city, there is a Muriwai beach, with strange black sand color that attracts visitors. Here, the sky and sea are always blue, wave rolling along with the waves hitting the shore creates an absorbing space. Auckland is truly a "two in one" city: a bustling modern metropolis but equally poetic and romantic.
