Li Xian Becomes New Zealand Tourism Ambassador, Get the Same Experience

On October 20th 🇳🇿, the New Zealand Tourism Board officially announced actor Li Xian as the new ambassador for New Zealand tourism. Li Xian’s temperament perfectly matches New Zealand—pure and full of adventure. Save this same experience and recreate Li Xian’s New Zealand trip. Christchurch 🖼 Christchurch Arts Centre This was once the site of the University of Canterbury and is now a hub dedicated to art, creativity, and culture in New Zealand. Stroll leisurely under the old arcades, visit a few interesting studios, pick out a uniquely crafted souvenir, and feel the peaceful moment where history and creativity perfectly blend. 🥨 Riverside Market Christchurch This is the liveliest indoor food market in Christchurch, a modern and aromatic food paradise. Come hungry, and like your “current boyfriend,” embrace an open mind to eat from street to alley in a borderless culinary exploration. Lake Tekapo 🔭 Mount John Observatory Climb Mount John by Lake Tekapo and you’ll be doubly amazed: a magnificent panoramic view by day and a deep window to the universe by night. The Astro Café ☕️ at the summit is surrounded by huge glass windows, offering a 360-degree unobstructed view of Lake Tekapo, Mount Cook, and the surrounding mountains. 🌌 Stargazing at Lake Tekapo When night falls, you may witness the most dazzling night sky of your life: the center of the Milky Way clearly visible, like a brilliant band stretching across the sky, with billions of stars seemingly within reach. The awe inspired by this naked-eye-visible Milky Way is unimaginable for city dwellers. Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park 🚁 Tasman Glacier Helicopter & Glacier Hike In the heart of the Southern Alps lies an adrenaline-pumping ultimate adventure—the Tasman Glacier helicopter tour and hike. The helicopter flies over the massive Tasman Glacier, New Zealand’s longest glacier, which looks like a huge, winding frozen river from above. After landing, the real exploration begins. With the help of professional guides, you’ll put on crampons and embark on a once-in-a-lifetime glacier hike. 📝 Recommended South Island Itinerary: Day 1: Christchurch city walk: Avon River punting, Christchurch Arts Centre, Riverside Market Day 2: Kaikoura: Whale watching boat tour Day 3: Lake Tekapo: Mount John Observatory & Astro Café, Church of the Good Shepherd, Dark Sky Reserve stargazing Day 4: Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park + Wanaka: Tasman Glacier helicopter & glacier hike, Wanaka “Lone Tree” Day 5: Queenstown: Lake Wakatipu cruise, Walter Peak High Country Farm, Skyline Gondola Day 6: Milford Sound: Milford Sound boat cruise Day 7: Te Anau: Lake Te Anau, explore Te Anau Glowworm Caves New Zealand, depart “now” with Li Xian!

The Church of the Good Shepherd

Lake Tekapo is calling! Here’s why this slice of New Zealand’s South Island should be on your bucket list: jaw-dropping turquoise waters, epic mountain backdrops, and the totally iconic Church of the Good Shepherd right on the lakeside 😍⛰️ Must-See Places: 1. Lake Tekapo – Kick back by the crystal-clear lake and soak in those serene vibes. The turquoise color is unreal, especially on sunny days. Got time? Wait till nightfall for world-class stargazing under super clear skies. It’s even better if you bring a blanket, a thermos, and just relax! 2. The Church of the Good Shepherd – Find it at Pioneer Drive, Lake Tekapo 7999 (open 9am-8pm, Oct 25–Dec 31). This picturesque stone chapel frames the mountain views perfectly and makes for amazing photos. Pro Tips: - Don’t rush—Tekapo’s peace is best enjoyed slow. Bring snacks or plan a picnic by the water for a local experience. - If you love outdoor dining, grab fresh salmon from a nearby shop (or local market at Lake Pukaki) and set up your own lakeside feast with condiments. It’s the ideal ‘with-a-view’ meal! - The weather can be changeable, so layer up and always have sunblock on hand. Getting Around: Lake Tekapo is tiny—walking or biking is perfect for exploring. If you’ve got a car, short drives nearby reveal incredible scenery and photo ops. Food Recommendations: Try local salmon from the region, best enjoyed outdoors with the lake or mountains as your backdrop. Also check out Tekapo’s village cafes for classic Kiwi eats! Don’t forget your camera—Tekapo is pure postcard magic. #LakeTekapo #NewZealandNature #StargazingNZ #TravelWithTrip #GoodShepherdChurch
