Before you start hiking, you can get a free map from the tourist information center, or buy a hiking brochure with 19 hiking route (if you think the hiking information provided here is enough for you, you can save this fee and you won't have the trouble of looking up strange words).

Go southwest along Princes Street for about 100 meters, turn left to Moray Place after Haynes-Savoy building, turn right at the first crossing, walk along Burlington Street for 100 meters, and walk left up the stairs to the most famous19th century church in New Zealand. There is a Chinese brochure at the entrance of the church, and you can see Dunedin's excellent panoramic view from the back of the church. Go down from the front of the church, turn right to Stewart Street, pass the old site of Otago Daily Times, Ailled Press and Law Court, and cross Castle Street to Dunedin Railway Station.

Walk south from the railway station to Toitū Otago Settlers Museum (free visit, open at 10:00- 17:00 every day except Christmas, and close one hour earlier in winter, and delay to 20:00 every Thursday). As soon as you enter the door, you can see two ancient steam trains, Josephine and Josephine, which were first put into use in Dunedin. Walking south out of the museum, you can see a familiar archway. Writing the traditional "Orchid Garden" will make you feel more intimate. Yes, you have come to China Garden in Dunedin, which was built in 2008. It is the sister garden of Shanghai Yuyuan Garden, which was nurtured by Chinese descendants who immigrated to New Zealand during the Gold Rush and carefully built by 50 workers in Shanghai.

Then you can take a nap in Queen's Garden, buy a roast mutton roll from the bacon sandwich man and a fast food truck to replenish your strength, then cross Crawford Street, climb Latraye Street and turn left into Bond Street. The former NZ Express Building was the first "skyscraper" in New Zealand, and now it has become a humble consulting house. Turn right at the first crossing on Bond Street, walk along Water Street to Prince Street, and walk north to the Exchange,/kloc-the economic center of New Zealand in the 9th century. Now, there is only a statue of a penguin left, and even the hotel opposite has become a casino with gorgeous cornices. I can only imagine its prosperity. Go ahead, pass two dark old banks, climb the stairs at the corner of Dorian Street, and walk to the end of the road overlooking Dunedin.

Go along Tennyson Street, pass Otago Girls' High School, the earliest girls' school in New Zealand, and turn left at the end to see St. Joseph's Cathedral. There is a huge shell washbasin at the entrance. You can go in and have a closer look at the 14 exquisite relief. Go all the way back to Stewart Street, turn right and go downhill slowly, while admiring the old buildings that have become shops or galleries on the roadside until you come to St. Paul's English Cathedral, which has the only stone arched nave in New Zealand. You can get a Chinese explanation at the door and enjoy the beautiful colorful windows slowly inside. Its neighbor, the municipal Chambers, is also a Gothic building, and the bell tower is still striking the time. Finally, walk to the statue of Scottish poet robert burns, end this walk and recall the ancient buildings along the way.
