HomerotuKATIKATI, New Zealand's mural town, has been in the number of murals scattered throughout the streets since the first three in 1991, and today has reached 57. Because I like the murals seen in Penang, Malaysia, I can’t help but stop when I pass through the town, but unlike Penang, you can get a free mural map in many places, according to the map index, the only information center is still closing, an old lady inside is not saying anything, Pass a brochure, 5 dollars, only cash, this is too? Thinking about it, ask if you can take a photo of the map, she reluctantly, open the map for me to take, always emphasize "only this page", and then turn the beginning, muttering "I don't see anything", really a cute old lady. With the picture, it is much easier to do, under the big sun, began to slowly find, here and Penang common point is that the mural reflects the life and customs of the local people, the different point is that here is more biased towards the traditional style of painting, and Penang, under the leadership of the Lithuanian genius painter, It is the updated visual style of 3D, it is difficult to say which is better, from the perspective of attracting tourists, Penang seems to be better. But for people who like murals, it is still quite interesting, because each painting is a story behind, take the first one, when the work is completed, the author Jessie is still in Katikai High School in third grade, blue is the river, green is the Kaimei Mountains, the most eye-catching, It was the flowering Christmas tree, the three most common things in the local area, in the little girl's writing has the sublimation of artistic conception. The second picture is related to Kauri, a unique tree species in New Zealand, because a little south of Katikati is the southernmost growth line of shell fir. At the beginning of the last century, locals had to use cattle to transport cut shell fir through specially made tools. The third is based on 1935 and 1940 main streets, and most of the buildings on the right side of the mural still exist today... The mural is one of the best ways to interpret a place, so every time you go to a city or town with a mural, as long as you calm down and enjoy it, you will understand the place more and will like it more.
