Queenstown

Houses were built at different levels on the slopes of the low hills in Queentown. This is a similar case in Central and Western District on Hong Kong Island. Some houses in this NZ town were too simple to mention, four walls with two slanting roof-top pieces. Bigger and more complicated houses, usually two to three storeys, are built higher up the slope edged by a long line of tall trees. The trees here serve to protect the ridges of the hill.

Shops are opened on the both sides of the main roads which run up and down over undulating land. The high mountains in the distance form a natural barrier protecting this town from extreme weathers.
