🌿Auckland's niche quiet scene|One Tree Hill|Meet the soul of New Zealand in the city center

📍One Tree Hill, Chinese name is "一树山" Compared to the popular Mount Eden, this place is quieter, wider and more New Zealand. It is not just a mountain, but also a story about land, faith and memory. 🗿 A mountain, a tree, a piece of New Zealand history This was once one of the largest Maori fortresses Pa There was originally a sacred tree on the top of the mountain, but it has been cut down, and now only the monument stands (Figure 11-13) It is also an important place in the early Maori and European colonial history of New Zealand Walking here, every step is like stepping on history 📸 Recommended for taking photos and walking ✔️ Cornwall Park is on the mountainside, with large green space + cattle and sheep grassland, super healing ✔️ You can hike or drive to the top of the mountain, and cars can drive up (but there will be restrictions on weekends when there are many people) ✔️ Take a panoramic view of the entire Auckland city + the perspective of the volcanic ruins on the top of the mountain ✔️ At dusk, the monument and the grass under the backlight silhouette are definitely a super killer picture ✔️ It is recommended to wear beige, khaki or dark green, so that the photos will have a more earthy feel 🌳My favorite moment is—— Not what I saw, but what I didn’t have to say The wind blew through the grass, and the sheep walked through the shadows of the trees When standing on the top of the mountain, the whole of Auckland seemed to lie quietly in front of you At this moment, you will understand what "the connection between people and the land" means 📝Transportation Tips 🚗 It takes about 20 minutes to drive from the city center. It is recommended to come on weekdays to avoid crowds 🥾 It takes about 30-40 minutes to hike up the mountain, but there are cattle and sheep to accompany you along the way 🎟️Free admission, suitable for arranging a half-day tour with Cornwall Park
