Overview
Known in the Maori language as Tamaki Makau Rau, or the city
of 100 lovers, today over a million people or one-third of
the nation's population reside in this largest city of New
Zealand. Enclosed by the surrounding urban environment,
Auckland's radience shines as an example of a cultural
melting pot where Polynesians, Europeans and Asians mingle
and assimilate. The largest presence of Polynesian
population in the world has contributed to the vivacious
cultural milieu with an increasing Asian influence from the
growing body of Asian immigrants. The Skytower in the heart
of the city provides a distinctive landmark that gives a
great view of this modern city. Auckland is enlivened by
modern cosmopolitan facilities and a variety of
entertainment whereas the touch of green forest and
aquamarine ocean is only a few miles away. The Aucklanders'
passion for hopping on the yacht and challenge the
waterfront earns the city the nickname of "Ciy of Sails."
Apart from its lively tourism industry as a gateway to other
regions of New Zealand, Auckland is also becoming a very
attractive place for education in the past few years.
