We went in mid to late September; it was windy and rainy one moment, sunny the next. The clouds were thin, and UV rays were very strong, so be sure to wear a windbreaker! · New Zealanders are very friendly, giving a safe and warm feeling. There are many Chinese people who are also very kind. At the bus transfer station, we frequented a fast-food shop run by a Chinese couple, chatted with a lady from Tianjin, and there were Chinese waitstaff in the small town as well :) · We hardly used cash. Over the week, places requiring cash cost less than 100 NZD. Visa cards worked very well and were very safe. · The scenery is very pristine—snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, and sea are all very untouched. The air quality is excellent. Although the weather wasn’t great when we visited, the photos still turned out amazing～
