Calm down and appreciate the beauty of the world

After coming to New Zealand, I discovered what a truly relaxing life is like. It turns out that what I have always been pursuing is the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. After spending a wonderful 10 days in Wanaka and Queenstown, I tried to integrate into the slow life of the locals and experience those seemingly ordinary but fun things. I have chased deer on the ranch and felt the vitality of nature; I have stared blankly by the lake and listened to the breathing of nature; I have admired the night view on the top of the mountain and felt the tranquility behind the prosperity; I have also hiked in the mountains and enjoyed the beauty of life. After this short journey, I have summarized some places worth visiting, and now I would like to share them with you. 【Wanaka Hiking】 In addition to walking along the shore of Lake Wanaka, I also recommend a very niche hiking route - i outlet Track. This trail is breathtakingly beautiful! You can drive to the trail parking spot and then walk along Clutha Rd, passing through woods and lakes, with snow-capped mountains in the distance. Bring some picnic with you and find a lawn to sit down and rest when you are tired. How can you be bored with such beautiful mountains and rivers? 【Queenstown Deer Park】 An alpine ranch in Queenstown, where you can enjoy the panoramic view of Queenstown and have the opportunity to look for deer! It is recommended to book tickets online in advance and then enter the password at the gate to enter the ranch. The ranch is located on a high ground, perfect for watching the sunset. If you go up after 5pm in spring and summer, you can watch the sunset before going down the mountain. Remember to buy a bucket of food at the food stall (2 dollars, be sure to change it into coins in advance, only coins are accepted), and then continue driving up. When you reach a fork in the road, the left side is the road that continues upwards, and the right side has a small path that goes down. Yes, it is this path leading down. The horned deer are all in this area. You can drive to find them, and the moment they appear in front of your window, you will really be melted by their cuteness. I hope my sharing can bring some inspiration to your trip to New Zealand. Here, you can feel the charm of nature and experience the beauty of life. Go out and explore this beautiful world, and you will find that life is meant to be this beautiful.
