Fairfax reported the town was ``a surprise entry on Chinese property website Juwai's list of the 10 most viewed locations in New Zealand''. And Waitaki Mayor Gary Kircher appeared on TV3 morning show, The AM Show, to address Oamaru becoming ``hot property for overseas buyers''. ``We often see a direct link between Chinese tourism and property interest in the same areas. After seeing the penguin colony, they go home and check out our website for property in the place they loved so much when they were on holiday.''
