Went in February, Punakaiki, about 50km north of Greymouth, to today's first major attraction, Pancake Rock (Pancake Rocks). In many pancake rock travel notes and guides mentioned, if tourists are lucky to catch the rising tide, the seawater through a large number of vertical water spray holes, will occasionally appear fountain-like rumbling water column, showing a spectacular scenery. Many tourists did not catch up with the rising tide when they came here, so they brought some regrets. But obviously we had a bad weather a few days ago, the RP now began to erupt, when it came just in time for the water level to rise, the sea through the rock under the hole rumbling eruption, the waves caused by more than ten meters, almost from the water level hit the tourist high observation deck! New Zealand's attractions, parks and other natural landscapes are free, including pancake rock here. Although free, New Zealanders love to set up various billboards in the scenic area, explaining why you see the scenery like a fruit shell (such as why the blue lake seen in Mount Cook is green), and help you see the scenery from a more interesting angle (For example, in the Pancake Rock scenic spot below), these many billboards are designed to give tourists a better experience. In fact, there are more other signs in various natural landscapes, some showing how spectacular scenery was decades ago, and how much has disappeared after human destruction or climate change. Some billboards show rare creatures that are only there, and even due to environmental changes around the world, New Zealand has become the last place for some creatures to live, calling on everyone to protect the ecology. Can't help but lament that New Zealanders really love nature of the nation, but whenever you see these signs, the mood is very heavy, ecological protection we are really a long way to go, not only New Zealanders, but also the mission of all our people who love nature. I don't know if you have seen the "Tomb Robbery Notes", the sand in the Nuhai diving sand mentioned a creature growing in the water. When we first saw the so-called sea grass (Giant Mermaid''s Hair), we couldn't help but cry, isn't this "Forbidden"? It is too in line with our imagination, the author's uncle has definitely seen this product! After watching Pancake Rocks, how can I eat a Pancake? Very user-friendly, when you visit the pancake rock, you will immediately see a Pancake Cafe, catch up with noon, taste the most popular banana bacon pancake, real material, two people can't finish...

    The Thousand-Layer Rock, also known as Thousand-Layer Rock, is a unique attraction on the west coast of the South Island. The scenery is spectacular. A huge rock shaped like Thousand-Layer Pancakes protrudes from the cliffs into the sea, or a column of sky, or connected into one piece, magnificent. Stop and watch ~ sea breezes, waves, birds singing; move and change scenery ~ ghostly work, colorful, for the beauty and strength of nature. The facilities are comprehensive. The trails, observation decks and logos of the scenic spots are set very scientifically and comprehensively. After entering the scenic spot, follow the trail and circle clockwise, you can fully view the entire scenic spot without taking any wrong roads; standing on the observation deck, the most spectacular scenery is in front of you, unobstructed; follow the guidance of the signboard, both to increase knowledge and to take reminiscent photos. Convenient transportation. From Greymouth, the car is 45 minutes north along the road, and it is very convenient to park at the gate of the scenic spot on the side of the road. Many tourists regard her as the first stop of the South Island counterclockwise roundabout tour.

    The thousands of layers of rock on New Zealand's South Island is a very strange natural landscape. The rocks on the seaside are naturally weathered into layers like a huge thousands of cakes. It is very magical. This geological landscape is called columnar shoes. It is a miracle of natural formation on the coast. It is definitely worth seeing.

    One-day west costal drive through Southern Alps n Greymouth just for the amazing natural wonder-Punakaiki Blow Holes and Pancake Rocks where the sea, wind and massive geological change have shaped the landscape creating fascinating stacked limestone rocks n eroded sea creating blowholes.

    Greymouth, the largest city on the west coast of the South Island, was built in the past gold rush, mainly providing important port services for gold, timber and coal produced on the west coast, and Greymouth's reputation is Punakaiki, about 50 kilometres north of the island There is a natural landscape formed by the continuous impact and corrosion of rocks through the seawater~ Pancake Rock, many people come to Greymouth to see the magnificent thousand-story rock, and it is free of charge. Strangely, team guests rarely come to the West Coast, so Punakaiki Pancake Rocks is deserted, and three or two tourists sit on wooden benches eating food and feeding seabirds. It is said that when the tide is high, the waves will wash the sea into the small hole in the rock, spraying out, extremely spectacular, the small blackboard of the visitor center has a tide watch schedule, the daily moments are different, the moment today is wrong, there is no chance to see the sea spray out of the scene. Tips: To see the sea spraying from the rocks, it is best to ask the time of the tide, basically at 7 am or 8 pm, that is not a waste of time. The opposite side of Punakaiki I site is the entrance of Pancake Rocks, the two sides of the trail are lush trees, sisal dense, the depth of the scenic spot is a curved plank road, and an observation deck is also set up to facilitate tourists to enjoy the stacked rocks up close along the coast. Along the winding plank road of the scenic spot, the Tasman sea breeze blows on our face, and is mixed with waves, attracted by the magical thousands of layers of stone rock, leading us to the depths. Amazing at the magic of nature, these thousands of layers of rock, formed 30 million years ago, are the debris of marine plants and animals piled up underground, debris caused by huge water pressure solidified in hard and soft layers and buried on the seabed, earthquakes make these deposits rise out of sea level, in acid rain, Under the erosion of wind and seawater, a layered pancake rock landscape is formed. After thousands of years of acid rain, wind and sea baptism, the rock formed a natural water spray hole, such as the tide, the rough waves under the help of the sea breeze, hit the rock, from the rock hole raging in, stirring huge energy from the hole sprayed out, the whole cave waves dance, The mist is filled with layers of water, which is spectacular. Because it is not during high tide, only small strands of sea water splash small columns from small holes in the rock. Overturning a rock ladder, suddenly smelling the sound of deafening waves, the rock interior, due to the long-lasting impact of the waves and acid rain, wind, sea erosion, formed a huge cave, the rising sea water under the help of the sea breeze, emitting appalling energy, impacting the rock, Spark huge waves. The photo is absolutely not reflected in the cave undercurrent, the waves hit the shore, the spectacular scene. To say that the most fascinating scene is What Do You See, the rocks are carved by heaven, and the human and beast are united. Let the imagination be generals, tigers, monsters, octopuses, etc. Some people say that the general is like the Maori chief. Shocking waves to the shore, rolling up thousands of piles of snow~ Su Shi's "Nian Nujiao Chibi Huaigu" is also appropriate here.

    The Thousand-Stone Rock is located in the south of New Zealand and will definitely pass by if you drive by car. The rocks along the coast cliffs were hit by waves for tens of thousands of years, forming a layer of uneven arrangement of shapes, very spectacular, some washed into a stone monument, set in front of the shore, the huge waves still standing upright, like a warrior guarding, people feel thousands of.

    The Thousand-Layer Rock on the west coast of New Zealand's South Island is a very strange natural landscape, where seaside rocks are washed down by waves like a giant Thousand-Layer cake. Millions of years of scouring have made the rocks here appear to be in a variety of postures, full of imagination.
