Auckland's Cultural Diversity: A Multicultural "City of Sails"

Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, is often called the "City of Sails" for its two harbors and countless sailboats. It's also a volcanic landscape with dozens of extinct cones (e.g., Mount Eden, offering panoramic views). While the provided content doesn't specify a number, Auckland is exceptionally multicultural—home to the world's largest Polynesian population, plus large Asian, European, Māori, and other communities. Over 220 ethnic groups are represented, making it one of the world's most diverse cities. This cultural richness is celebrated in festivals, food, arts, and daily life.
