Greymouth

　　   Greymouth is situated in the West Coast Region of New Zealand, at the mouth of the Grey River, with an economy mainly driven by fishing, coal mining, forestry, and ecotourism. In recent years, thanks to its scenic environment and fresh air, the city has gained popularity among international travelers and become a sought-after holiday destination.

Once home to the Māori people, the area's colorful gold rush history is fascinating and can be explored at local museums and the nearby Shantytown. The Jade Boulder Gallery displays various types of naturally formed greenstone jade, while Lake Brunner is famed for trout fishing and stunning scenery. The local brewery is something of a New Zealand legend, offering tours and tastings.
