About The Song of Whales and Sea Te Hoahoa o Roto mō te Wharekai

Ko Te Waiata o ngā Tohorā me te Moana he hoahoa o roto mō tētahi wharekai mīti e hipoki ana i te 600 mita tapawhā i Taichung, Taiwana. Ko te whare āhua-L e karapoti ana i tētahi papa-whenua o waho me tōna puna wai me ōna tipu, e hanga ana i tētahi wāhi whakatā tāone. Ka whakawhāititia ngā mātāpuna karaehe mārama, mārama whānui, kia kite pai ai te hunga kai i ngā pukapuka noho i te māra. Ka puta ngā piko puta noa i te wāhi, tae atu ki ngā koki rakau porowhita, tētahi tuanui piko me ngā nohoanga pukapuka whakahaere-mā. Ko ngā rama kōura e whakamahara ana i ngā mīhini e piki ake ana, ā, ko ngā mata mata whakairo hihi rama e tohu ana i te rimu e ngāueue ana. Kei te koki te kīhini e noho ana, nā reira ka horapa ngā pukapuka whakawaho kia ngāwari ai te neke.
