📍South Island, New Zealand. Dunedin|Romance in the Middle Ages

When you think of Dragon Boat Festival, you may think of glutinous rice, dragon boat racing, and grandma's Hakka spices. But if you want to escape from it all and have some Victorian elegance Then go to Dunedin This city in the South Island is a bit like a Harry Potter field trip Full of old stone buildings, Gothic churches, and the world's steepest street Walking there, you will feel as if you have traveled back to 19th century England. Even the air smells a bit like Earl Grey 🍵 The long holidays are very suitable for coming here to have a cultural dinner During the day, you can go to the University of Otago and pretend to be an exchange student. Or take a retro photo in front of the station At night, it is recommended to go to a cafe by the harbor and order a cup of hot cocoa. Watch the mist slowly rise It seems that time has also been steamed into soft glutinous rice, slowly wrapping into my heart If you want to make this Dragon Boat Festival less greasy Then come to Dunedin and let history and sea breeze help you repackage Make a literary and artistic rice dumpling with the fragrance of books and mist ⸻——Sharing of travel information———— ▪️Location: Dunedin, located on the southeast coast of New Zealand's South Island ▪️Features: European-style architecture, cultural heritage, steepest street, coastal wildlife viewing ▪️Transportation: Drive from Queenstown for about 3.5 hours, or take a train/bus from Christchurch ▪️Best time to visit: Early winter (May-June) is cool and quiet, suitable for wandering and cultural exploration #Dragon Boat Festival good places
