If you ask what are the best things to do around Auckland? Gibbs Farm in Kaipara Harbour, just north of Auckland, is definitely a place to visit! ㅤ

Here brings together the master sculptures of 31 top artists, many world-class stars, including Liu Yifei have come here to take photos, photos are very out of the picture!

The most famous are the Horizons that break the second and third dimensional walls and the big red horn Dismemberments. ㅤ

In addition to the artwork, the farm also houses a variety of animals, including ostriches, zebras, giraffes and peacocks. ㅤ

However, Gibbs Farms is a private farm, is New Zealand's richest man Alan Gibbs, usually not open to the public, can not give money.

It used to be open one day a month, free only to artists, educational institutions, charities and others, but only by appointment, but the success rate is very low. It is therefore closed to the public, with the exception of a monthly open house and a number of charitable and arts organization activities, so the time you can visit it is very limited.
ㅤ
But the good news is that on March 15, Gibbs Farms held an open house event to help raise money for the welfare organization Leukemia Foundation of New Zealand! While there is a fee for the event, all proceeds will be donated to charitable organisations that help New Zealanders with serious blood conditions. ㅤ

Finally, Gibbs Farm! It took less than three hours of stop-and-go photography. Prepare some light snacks and water in advance, otherwise there will be nothing to eat other than an expensive pizza stand.

On this trip, it started to rain heavily in the middle, and I was lucky to see two kinds of scenery.

What a big farm, 4 square kilometers, by the sea, as the walking trail is very comfortable. As soon as I went up the slope, I met an ostrich, and I could see eight or nine of them when I came down.

Personally, I like the gravity-defying horizon horizon, which looks like paper on top of a mountain. Now visitors are not allowed to go under the paper, but ten meters down, where there is a family of ostriches.

The big speaker "dismemberment" is very cool, 25 meters high and more than 80 meters long, just over the mountainside. When Liu Yifei came in 2018, she could climb up and jump, but now she can't.

Jacob's Ladde, like a torch, also like the soul, the Chinese see like a white bone tower.

Tips for visiting Gibbs Farm: Wear comfortable shoes as it may be a 6-7 km walk. Cameras, welcome to take pictures! But no drones! Sunscreen and hat: Sunscreen will be provided if you forget to bring it; Food and water: A variety of drinks can be purchased from the coffee cart; Raincoat and rain gear: Rain activities will continue as usual!
