奥克兰独树山 Auckland One Tree Hill

独树山公园与康威尔公园相邻
是奥克兰最大的一座死火山
访客可选择步行或驾车上山顶
山顶开放时间随季节不同
夏季为早上7点至晚上8点30分
冬季则是早上7点至晚上7点
山顶上可以清楚的看到市区的景色

One Tree Hill Domain is a park adjoins to Cornwall Park, which is also Auckland’s largest and intact volcanic cone.

The hill top is accessible by foot or by car. The summit gate is open from 7am to 8.30pm in summer and 7am to 7pm in winter. There is extensive city view from the summit.

两座公园相连
成了奥克兰市区内最大的公园
公园里牛羊成群
仿佛置身在郊外

Both One Tree Hill Domain and Cornwall Park formed the largest area of parkland in Auckland city. The parks grazed by sheep and cattle, gives you the impression that it is at the countryside.

早从14世纪开始
便已有毛利人在独树山定居
而山顶上只有一棵托塔拉树
这里便命名为独树山
但在1852年这棵托塔拉树便已遭欧洲人破坏
1876年，一棵松树取代了它的位置
却也在1994年和2000年遭到示威者使用电锯的破坏
导致它已无法存活
为了公众的安全
这棵松树也在2000年10月26日被砍倒

One Tree Hill was inhabited by the Maori back to 14^th century. As there is only a totara tree stood near the summit, the hill was named One Tree Hill. However, this totara tree was cut down by a white settler in 1852 and a pine tree was planted in 1876 to replace the previous totara.

Unfortunately, this pine tree was also being attacked with chainsaws by activist in 1994 and 2000 left the tree unable to recover. So it was removed on 26 October 2000 due to the risk of it collapsing.

约翰·坎佩尔爵士是第一个定居克罗曼多和奥克兰的欧洲人
修建了奥克兰的第一个房子
并开办了奥克兰的第一间店铺
成为一个成功的商人和国会议员
1912年，坎佩尔爵士去世后
根据他的遗愿被葬在独树山山顶
他遗嘱中还要求在独树山山顶修一座纪念碑
以纪念人口逐渐减少的毛利人

John Logan Campbell was one of the first Europeans to arrive in Coromandel and Auckland. He built the first house and opened the first shop in Auckland.  He then became a prominent businessman and member of the Parliament.

Campell die in 1912 and was buried on the summit of One Tree Hill as he wished. According to his will, an obelisk was built on the summit of the hill as a memorial of Maori which he expected that would gradually die out.

独树山身为一个历史的见证
如今已成为一个休闲的去处

One Tree Hill tells the stories of the past, now everyone could enjoy the park at their free time.

纽西兰 New Zealand

纽西兰是位于太平洋西南部的一个岛屿国家
由多个小岛和南北两个主要岛屿组成
首都是威灵顿
最大城市却是奥克兰
其国土面积不大，人口仅有四百万
是个并不拥挤的国家

New Zealand is an island nation in the southwestern of Pacific Ocean. It comprises of many small islands and two main lands, North Island and South Island. Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand, while the largest city is Auckland.  New Zealand is a small country, with a population of only four millions of people, which makes it a less crowded country.

这里有雄伟的冰川
瑰丽的峡湾
嶙峋的高峰
广阔的平原
并有火山、温泉、沙滩

There are spectacular glaciers, picturesque fiords, rugged mountains, vast plains. There are also geothermal areas, hot springs and beaches in the country.

纽西兰的气候转变迅速
越往南走，平均气温就越低
一月与二月是一年中最温暖的月份
七月则是最寒冷的月份
降雪一般发生在六月至十月之间
大多数降雪都在山脉地带
纽西兰空气污染较少
因此紫外线也格外强烈

Weather in New Zealand change unexpectedly, the average temperature decreased as travel south. January and February are the warmest months, while July is the coldest.

Snow usually happened from June through October, and it mostly falls in the mountainous areas. In addition to that, New Zealand has relatively lower air pollution which makes the UV rays in the sunlight to be stronger.

纽西兰的土著是毛利人
但其人口融合了毛利土著、欧洲、太平洋岛屿和亚洲人等
大部分人口居住在北岛
这个国家即可享受城市生活
但却也同时拥有许多农村人口
而其主要的宗教信仰是基督教

Maori are the native in New Zealand, with a patchwork of European, Pacific Island and Asian and most of the population live in the North Island. The New Zealanders (informally known as Kiwis) enjoy urban living, but there are also a number of rural populations. Christianity is the predominant religion in the country.

纽西兰经济发达
虽然已成功从农业转型为工业化
但农业和畜牧业仍是国家的经济基础
羊肉、奶制品和羊毛出口皆为世界第一
除此之外，这里同时拥有丰富的森林资源和鱼产等

New Zealand has a high income economy, and had successfully transformed from an agrarian economy to a more industrialized economy.  It is still heavily dependent on agriculture export, as their lamb, dairy products and wool export still ranked number one in the World.

Despite that, forestry and fishing are also important export earner for New Zealand.
