Auckland帆船之都——奥克兰
奥克兰（Auckland）位于新西兰北岛，是个依海而建的优美城市，地形狭长，是新西兰第一大城市。自1840年起，奥克兰做过25年的首都，后来殖民政府才将政权中心移至惠灵顿。奥克兰的地形非常适合帆船运动，城中居民多拥有私人船只，所以又有“风帆之都”的美誉。
奥克兰是新西兰国际文化的荟萃地，走在街上，可以看到极富殖民地色彩的19世纪建筑物。对历史文化感兴趣的游客，可以前往奥克兰博物馆参观毛利族及波利尼西亚的历史遗迹及资料，如毛利族雕刻及古老的用具等，也可以到奥克兰城市艺术画廊，参观欧洲文艺复兴时期的珍藏。
奥克兰气候温和多雨，四季分明，全年气温在6～28℃之间。二月最高温度为25.5℃，八月最高16℃。奥克兰夏季阳光很厉害，尤其是每天中午的那段时间，进行户外活动要准备好防晒品，以免晒伤。
奥克兰是新西兰第一大都会，更是新西兰北岛的门户，每天，国际班机在此忙碌起降。
奥克兰，人们向南行，途经罗多奴瓦温泉，幽静醉人的陶波 (Lake Taupo) 湖，再到东加里诺 (Tongariro) 国家园林的火山做徒步远行，再往极南端，则是新西兰的首都——惠灵顿。
奥克兰是根据其狭长的地形建设而成，港湾优美，海水清澈，游客可在此观赏宏伟的海港大桥和两港湾的泊岸景色。东海岸有个金沙海滩，美丽细致；西海岸则呈现一片黑沙海岸，神秘莫测。

The two best views of the city can be had from Mount Eden and One Tree Hill. Both are volcanic cones that were once the site of Maori pas， or fortified villages (evidence of the pas can still be seen at both places).
