Mangere

On the north eastern shore of Manukau Harbour, Mangere is a region of great historical significance to the Maori, 以曼热尔山为中心, a sacred peak. Easily accessed via the road bridge that links the city-side with the town of Mangere Bridge, there's a very real sense of community here, despite the high number of motels and other visitor accommodation that takes advantage of Mangere's close proximity to Auckland Airport.
Manukau

五彩缤纷，忙碌而明亮， Manukau is where you'll find the world's largest Polynesian urban community. Sitting to the east of Manukau Harbour (and it's resident stingrays...), this is where you can come and enjoy the country's largest street market, at Otara, which springs to life every Saturday with stalls selling everything from fresh fruit and veg, 手工制作服装, jewellery and gifts. You'll also find Westfield Manakau City nearby, too (one of the country's oldest malls), so even the more standard shopaholics will be satisfied.
Awhitu Peninsula

从Waiuku一直延伸到Awhitu, this peninsula washes the calm southwestern shores of Manukau Harbour and the wild eastern shore of the Tasman Sea. Horseriders love coming to Karioitahi Beach to gallop along the black-sanded surf, while mountain bikers can indulge in some truly breathtaking trails through Waiuku Forest and Awhitu Regional Park.

Those with a head for heights can scale the Manukau Heads Lighthouse, and see where, in 1863, the HMS Orpheus ran aground on the treacherous sandbanks below. The road up through the peninsula is scattered with bright, white buildings, 映衬着一幅郁郁葱葱的油画, green fields, so the area is a great favourite with photographers, but surprisingly still unknown to many resident Aucklanders. So, take advantage of the peace and quiet and explore some stunning coastal scenery along the cliff tops, or relax at the cellar door of one of the organic orchards in the region.
