colony during the early periods. In 1852, sea reclamation began in Wellington and helped to overcome the shortage of the land and allowed the city to flourish. The 8.2-magnitude earthquake in 1855 has directly led to the expansion of the sea reclamation. Wellington is one of the famous tourism cities in the Pacific Ocean. The ancient buildings that are still preserved in the city include the Government Building, built in 1876, which is the one of the most splendid wooden structure building in the southern Pacific area; the marvelous Paul Cathedral built in 1866; the City Hall built in 1904. The prestigious War Memorial was built in 1932. There are 49 bells hanging on the carillon inside, on which the names of battlefields which the New Zealanders had attended in World War I were carved.
