A strong sense of Scottish hometown - Dunedin, New Zealand

#7月好去地方2025 The ancient city of Dunedin was mainly originated from the immigration of the Free Church of Scotland in 1848 and flourished during the gold rush in the 1860s. At that time, thousands of Scots immigrated to the town of Dunedin and built the city with the name of "Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland". Even the name of the city of Dunedin evolved from the Scottish Celtic Dùn Èideann (Edinburgh). No wonder Dunedin is also called "the second Scotland in the world" or "Edinburgh in the southern hemisphere". Although the South Island is the essence of New Zealand's attractions, you can take a train to see the coastline in Dunedin, and the scenery is no less than that of the South Island. The architecture of the train station is very attractive, the market is very good to visit; there is also the world's steepest street to challenge!
