Introduction

New Zealand is known as the world capital of kiwi fruit, which is also commonly referred to as "kiwi" - a natural and delicious fruit with a brown, fuzzy exterior and juicy green flesh inside. Although this fruit originated in China, it grows abundantly in New Zealand. Initially, New Zealanders called the kiwi fruit "Chinese Gooseberry," but when they started exporting it, they wanted a catchy name that would associate the fruit with New Zealand, hence the name "kiwi fruit." If you want to visit the birthplace of kiwi fruit, don't miss Te Puke. Near the town, there is a kiwi fruit-themed park called "Kiwi360." At the "Kiwi360" orchard, visitors can experience the unique attractions of the kiwi fruit theme park. The park is open for tourism, and visitors usually ride the park's tour buses and explore the orchard under the guidance of a tour guide.
