怀唐伊日

每年的2月6日是怀唐伊日，这一天在所有新西兰人心中有着特殊的地位，因为这一天是新西兰的国庆节。1840年2月6日，40位毛利部落酋长和英国王室在怀唐伊签署了《怀唐伊条约》，建国新西兰。怀唐伊当地的庆典活动一早便开始了，有独特的雕刻比赛和文艺表演，营造出浓郁的节日气氛。

South Island, New Zealand

Waitangi Day holds a special place in all Kiwis' hearts as it is the day when New Zealand became a nation. It is celebrated every year on February 6, the date when the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840 between 40 Māori chiefs and the British to make the nation of New Zealand. The founding document has inspired many to recognize the importance of cultural and political rights of the country, not just on this day, but every day. The festivities start typically early on the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, where celebrants take part in exceptional carving competitions and soak in the cultural performances to set the mood.
