Old Government Buildings, Wellington

Typical British buildings, blue sky and white clouds are still very beautiful, because some parts are still repaired because they were damaged in the earthquake before. There are some exhibits in the corridor, and historical materials of the building are pasted on the wall. You can stroll if you have enough time.

In the center of the city, there is a large area of grass at the entrance. Today there are some music fans in the entrance holding a concert. It is very lively and attracts many passers-by to stop and watch. The air here is very good.

The government building, with its magnificent appearance, clean steps, cast iron fireplaces and interior decoration with cedar as raw materials, is an important part of New Zealand's architectural heritage. Like many colonial buildings in the last century, the government building imitates the Italian stone palace, symbolizing the strength and stability of the empire. The building is constructed from the best native wood of New Zealand, cedar, which can not be replicated by any building today, because all existing cedar forests in New Zealand are permanently protected. Shell fir is famous for its hard, elastic and beautiful appearance. After polishing, the honey-colored texture gives off a mild, satin-like luster. Today, the public can visit the ground floor. Flowers and plants around the building grow many of New Zealand's representative plants, many of which are rare. In the government building, visitors can see the history exhibition and translation room on the first floor and the cabinet room on the second floor. The rest of the building was rented to the Victoria University School of Law. There is also an Information Service Center of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, which is open from 9 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.
