Wellington Citywalk Guide 📔 (With Tips!)

Drove 5 hours from Taupō to reach the world's smallest capital—Wellington! ✅ 📍 Mount Victoria ⛰️ Stunning views, but the uphill road is narrow and crowded with parked cars. ⚠️ Not for nervous drivers! 📍 Old Bank Arcade (Jay Chou's Photo Spot!) Parking tip: Most spots are paid, some are free for limited time—check signs carefully! 🅿️ 📍 Lululemon Stop Found a Define jacket for ~¥700—cheaper than in China! ✅ 📍 Iconic Cable Car Ride 🚋 Round-trip student ticket: $13 (NZ student ID only!). Short but sweet 10-min ride with great views—scan QR code at the gate. 📍 Bubble Tea Sighting Spotted Gong Cha in downtown Wellington! 📍 Cat Encounter 🐱 Called it "Mimi" → ignored. Said "Kitty" → got a royal glance. 😼 📍 Craving Chinese Food "I need rice... NOW." 😭 📍 Mystery Windshield Wiper 🧽 At a red light, a guy suddenly started cleaning our windshield. We panicked, thinking it was a scam... but he just gave a thumbs-up and left! 🤯 Was this community service? A kind stranger? Still confused... #NewZealand #NZTravel #Wellington #TravelGuide #CityWalk #StudyAbroadLife
