Answer I teamed up with a couple from my hotel (Peter and Terri ) and hired a car. We spent all day driving around the city. There’s a great drive marked out for tourists. It has blue and white signs with seagulls on them to show the way to go. It’s a 79km round-trip that takes in all the famous tourist spots.

Many/A lot of/Some Chinese immigrants settled in this area in the 1850s. The fronts of the buildings are decorated to look like old buildings in southern China. There are some interesting temples, a number of markets and a great many restaurants here.
