I’ve arrived home safely after bravely venturing into New Zealand. Let’s talk realistically.

I need to go to New Zealand because of work stress, and I want to experience how amazing this place is to wash my hands off! 🤣 Without further ado, I immediately applied for a visa, bought air tickets, and signed up for a local group of 9 people~~ Let me share some interesting things about my trip✨ - Accommodation 🏠 I stayed at the five-star Hilton 🏨 in Queenstown for two nights and the Peppers Bluwater Resort in Tekapo for one night. It is very close to the Shepherd Church, just a 10-minute walk away. The other days were four-star hotels. The environment is nice and relaxing, and the sound insulation is pretty good when sleeping at night. - Eat 🍔 Lamb leg two-course meal, green bone fish, mussel Chinese dinner, salmon dish, and lobster meal are all included in the group meal, so there are basically no surprises. The seafood here will be fresher and sweeter🍣! There are many internet celebrity restaurants in Queenstown, with good decoration and good taste. Buy sandwiches at convenience stores on the road or Subway, basically 7-10🔪 - Attractions 🌷 Going to the Tasman Glacier was really amazing! A whole ice age feeling 🔻The little blue penguins of Oamaru🐧 looked at them, they look so cute as they waddle and walk🥹 (The tour price includes night VIP tickets) 🔻Wanaka is very small, with fewer people than Queenstown. If you only visit the lonely tree, it feels like three hours is enough. 🔻Recommend a local wool store, Wools of Wanaka, which has a lot of wool products, and they are all very comfortable and soft. 🔻Be sure to watch your hands when shopping in Queenstown! 🤣Remarkable Gifts has many local specialty products 🔻Many of the attractions in Queenstown depend on the weather conditions. For example, if the weather is bad for helicopters, we won’t go 😞 🔻Skyline and Luge in Queenstown, especially Luge, if you go to play in the afternoon, you will feel like you are riding a sunset. 🔻Milford Sound, a fjord landform I have never seen before, the waterfalls are so shocking on rainy days! 🔻The dreamy blue lake of Tekapo is very eye-catching📸! Watching the stars at the Shepherd’s Church at night is amazing🌌 - I joined a group of 9 people alone and traveled in a 12-seater Mercedes-Benz. The group members were all quite easy to get along with. The tour guides are also very good. When they are not cold-faced, they will help everyone book travel tickets👍🏼 He will take photos of everyone along the way (the photos are quite nice and there is no charge for the photos). They also take care of everyone's emotions along the way, and everyone will play games together. 😁It’s really fun when there are so many people, and we can’t finish chatting. - All in all, this trip to New Zealand totaled a little over 20,000 including group fee + self-expense (excluding air tickets). It’s worth it for someone like me who is too lazy to do a guide. My trip to New Zealand has come to a successful end. I will miss everything here💕 Will come again!
