We went to Auckland domain to see the cherry blossom trees. Auckland Domain is the oldest park in Auckland and is located in the central city. The two main popular attractions located in Auckland domain are the Auckland Museum and the Winter Garden.
The information below is from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Auckland Domain is Auckland's oldest park, and at 75 hectares one of the largest in the city. Located in the central suburb of Grafton, the park contains all of the explosion crater and most of the surrounding tuff ring of the Pukekawa volcano.
The park is home to one of Auckland's main tourist attractions, the Auckland War Memorial Museum, which sits prominently on the crater rim (tuff ring). Several sports fields occupy the floor of the crater, circling to the south of the cone, while the rim opposite the Museum hosts the cricket pavilion and Auckland City Hospital. The Domain Wintergardens, with two beautiful glass houses, lie on the north side of the central scoria cone. The fernery has been constructed in an old quarry in part of the cone. The duck ponds lie in the northern sector of the explosion crater, which is breached to the north with a small overflow stream.

New Zealand-Auckland Part 1
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.
See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
New Zealand-Auckland
The Auckland metropolitan area in the North Island of New Zealand, is the largest and most populous urban area in the country. It has 1,397,300 residents, which is 32 percent of the country's population.Auckland has the largest Polynesian population of any city in the world.In Māori, Auckland's name is Tāmaki Makaurau and the transliterated version of Auckland is Ākarana.
The Auckland urban area (as defined by Statistics New Zealand) ranges to Waiwera in the north, Kumeu in the northwest, and Runciman in the south. It is not contiguous -- the section from Waiwera to Whangaparaoa Peninsula is separate from its nearest neighbouring suburb of Long Bay. Auckland lies between the Hauraki Gulf of the Pacific Ocean to the east, the low Hunua Ranges to the south-east, the Manukau Harbour to the south-west, and the Waitakere Ranges and smaller ranges to the west and north-west. The central part of the urban area occupies a narrow isthmus between the Manukau Harbour on the Tasman Sea and the Waitemata Harbour on the Pacific Ocean. It is one of the few cities in the world to have harbours on two separate major bodies of water.
The 2011 Mercer Quality of Living Survey ranked Auckland 3rd equal place in the world on its list, while the Economist's World's most livable cities index of 2011 ranked Auckland in 9th place. In 2010, Auckland was classified as a Beta World City in the World Cities Study Group's inventory by Loughborough University.
Road and rail
Private vehicles are the main form of transportation within Auckland, with around 7% of journeys in the Auckland region being undertaken by bus (2006 data), and 2% undertaken by train and ferry.Usage is however heavily skewed towards travel to and from the Central Business District, where more than half of trips are undertaken by public transport.Auckland still ranks quite low in this regard, having only 46 public transport trips per capita per year, while Wellington has almost twice this number at 91, and Sydney has 114 trips.This strong roading focus results in substantial traffic congestion during peak times.
Bus services in Auckland are mostly radial, with few ring-routes, due to Auckland being on an isthmus. Late-night services (i.e. past midnight) are limited, even on weekends.
Regular trains operating along four lines travel between the CBD and the west, south and south-east of Auckland, with longer-distance options scarce. In 2007 approximately NZ$5.3 billion worth of large-scale projects were underway or planned (and budgeted for) in the Auckland area to improve rail and public transport patronage over the next decade, 31% of the transport budget.However, policy changes in early 2009 by the incoming National government have meant a shift in emphasis to more highway construction, and have removed the provision of a regional fuel tax that was to pay for ARTA's public transport upgrades. While the government has promised to fund the rail electrification, the process and associated tenders were delayed by approximately one year, and some rail station upgrades and the funding of the integrated ticketing upgrade were in doubt. The lack of future funding also forced ARTA to hand over the Auckland region's rail stations to government control. Electrification is now underway however, with electric trains scheduled to be running in the next 18 months.
New Zealand Honeymoon || Auckland, Victoria Park, Ponsonby Central, and Sky Tower
November 1-4, 2019
Welcome to the first video of my vlog series on my 3 week adventure around New Zealand with my new husband, Owen! Make sure to answer my question of the day at the bottom of this description to help me get to know you better! :)
Owen and I flew to Auckland, New Zealand (not the easiest flights from Seattle), and stayed in Ponsonby which is located on the North Island.
We woke up and ate at the tastiest cafe before walking to downtown Auckland through Victoria Park and heading to the Sky Tower.
We drank wine at the top of the Sky Tower and watched a stranger do the Sky Tower Bungy. Hard pass for me.
We ate an incredible dinner in Ponsonby Central and called it an early night! Jet lag and all...
We even got a parking ticket! What a day.

THINGS TO DO IN AUCKLAND: Mission Bay Beach Auckland | Auckland Day Trip
THINGS TO DO IN AUCKLAND: Mission Bay Beach Auckland | Auckland Day Trip
*HD Video with Subtitles in English*
My friend Navi and I, as part of a random Auckland City Tour, visited the famous museum at Auckland Domain (Winter Garden) and #MissionBayBeach in Auckland city last week. Here's the final part of the #Aucklanddaytrip we had been to. These two places are one of the famous Auckland attractions that one should try and visit as part of their Auckland tour. One should try and include these two places as part of their day trip in Auckland and should surely include these as one of the #ThingstodoinAuckland .
As per Wikipedia, Mission Bay is a seaside suburb of Auckland city, on the North Island of New Zealand, with a population of 5469. The suburb's beach is a popular resort, located alongside Tamaki Drive. The area also has a wide range of eateries. Mission bay beach is a great place to visit as a day trip to Auckland, it's very crowded during the Summer months with many families enjoying there and many people soaking up the Sun rays or paddling on the warm ocean water. It's a great place for families to have picnic in Auckland.
I also met my friend Zoheb who now owns a Subway shop there along with an extended Convenience store. So if anyone of you are keen to have some quick food or drinks whilst you are enjoying at the beach, do visit his shop.
#JourneywithAmit channel is based in Auckland, which is New Zealand's largest city and very famous for it's diverse population hailing from all around the globe, it's famous Volcanic cones, Gardens, Beaches, Cafe's and much more. Auckland is the main gateway international airport with its Auckland International Airport witnessing the arrivals of hundreds of thousands of visitors each year into this beautiful country New Zealand.
I try and upload videos without much of editing so that the people can get the feeling of the actual trip or travel or events as it occurred. I do not edit my videos much so as to give the real feeling to the audience who is watching and who wants to feel the things as real as possible ! Also I have tried to add in Subtitles for the wider audience as the channel is mainly in Hindi language. I have come across very few travel channel in Hindi.
For sightseeing in Auckland New Zealand, you need to take out at least two to three days to able to enjoy Auckland city. For this you may take bus tours, many of which have day trips from Auckland, or just take local transportation to each of Auckland sightseeing places.

AUCKLAND, EXPLORING one of world's most BEAUTIFUL HARBOURS (NEW ZEALAND) ????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go walk around Waitematā Harbour, which is the main access by sea to the beautiful city of Auckland, New Zealand. For this reason it is often referred to as Auckland Harbour and is crossed by the Auckland Harbour Bridge. The harbour has long been the main anchorage and port area for the Auckland area, even before European colonial times. With a size of 70 square miles, it connects the city's main port and the Auckland waterfront to the Hauraki Gulf, and the Pacific Ocean. It is sheltered from Pacific storms by Auckland's North Shore, Rangitoto Island and Waiheke Island.
New Zealand is a country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean consisting of 2 main islands, both marked by volcanoes and glaciation. Capital Wellington, on the North Island, is home to Te Papa Tongarewa, the expansive national museum. Wellington’s dramatic Mt. Victoria, along with the South Island’s Fiordland and Southern Lakes, stood in for mythical Middle Earth in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films.
