"Are More Tourists Destroying New Zealand's Natural Beauty?"

This time, we explored the South Island of New Zealand, immersed ourselves in nature, broadened our horizons, and gained a lot. Seriously, this trip was super worth it! 🤗 ✈️ Transportation The Air New Zealand experience is fantastic! Whether it's the in-flight Wi-Fi, entertainment facilities, or the food and wine, it's all great. The Skycouch in economy class is worth experiencing, making it easy to lie down and fly to New Zealand. 🌼 Itinerary Day 1: Arrive in Queenstown, adjust to the time difference, and prepare for the trip. Day 2-3: Explore Queenstown at your own pace, experience the steamship and Skyline Gondola, try the famous Fergburger, soak in the Onsen Hot Pools, and slowly enjoy the rhythm of the trip. Day 4: Queenstown → Wanaka, experience flying a plane, super exciting! We also made a special trip to see the Lonely Tree, which was unreal. Day 5: Wanaka → Lake Tekapo, take the kids to a stargazing tour at night, it was really eye-opening! Day 6: Lake Tekapo → Mount Cook, helicopter snow landing experience, feel the magnificent scenery of the snow-capped mountains. 📌 Travel Tips 1️⃣ Apply for a visa to New Zealand one month in advance. 2️⃣ New Zealand is 4 hours ahead of China in winter and 5 hours ahead in summer. 3️⃣ New Zealand uses New Zealand dollars, so exchange enough cash before you leave. 4️⃣ Personal items to bring: water cup, umbrella, slippers, toothbrush, toothpaste, sunscreen. In addition, the food in Queenstown is not to be missed! I highly recommend sitting in a lakeside cafe, drinking coffee, and watching the lake view. It's really super cozy ☕
