New Zealand has standard beautiful scenery: blue sky, white clouds, mountains, snow, glaciers, sheep, cattle, villages, wooden houses and streams. New Zealand can be said to be the home of glaciers in the Southern Hemisphere. Here, there are glaciers at an altitude of only 300 meters. Next to the glaciers is a tropical rainforest. Such a unique landscape is unique on earth. The ruins formed by glaciers are everywhere, and their crystal clear light and magnificent momentum are enough to make people intoxicated. - Wanaka has many beautiful short trails, such as ROYS PEAK, MT IRON, Isthmus Peak, etc. There is a very popular trail in Wanaka "Rob Roy Track" 🏔Rob Roy Track Length: 10KM round trip Time: 3-4 hours Difficulty: easy One hour drive from Wanaka, Through this trail, you will enter an incredible place: There are mountains, snow fields, glaciers, cliffs and waterfalls. The trail starts at Raspberry Flat car-park. After a 15-minute walk, you will pass a suspension bridge (this is actually the real starting point of the trail), cross the West Matukituki River, and after crossing the bridge, climb through a small canyon and enter a forest. The last section of the mountain road is more difficult to walk on. Occasionally, you will pass through a cliff path, but if the height difference is too great, you will have to climb up with great effort. But most of it is still a tree-lined path, with the ground covered with intricate tree roots. Then we walked to the end of the valley and saw the Rob Roy Glacier. During the summer, you can see several waterfalls hanging on the cliffs, with snow and water pouring down violently. If you visit during autumn, the snow will have covered the glaciers again. ⚠️Things you need to know before departure: Equipped with good outdoor equipment, your trip will be easier and more comfortable, especially in unpredictable weather conditions, low temperatures, rain, snow, strong winds and other weather conditions may occur in any season of the year. These valleys do not close in winter, but it does make hiking more difficult and dangerous. ⚠️Avalanches are possible in this area, usually from May to November. - We drove straight from Wanaka passed a long gravel road and drove through eight streams along the way waited for the sheep to slowly cross the road in the middle of the road followed the cattle to drink water by the stream during the climb surrounded by mountains, snow, green land, blue sky everything was incredibly beautiful! #Hiking #Queenstown #NewZealand #100TravelWays

Want to escape the hustle and bustle during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday Why not choose Wanaka, a small lakeside town in South Island? A quiet holiday with a little adventure There's no fast pace of the city here There is only the light mist on the lake in the morning and the light and shadow reflected by the snow-capped mountains in the afternoon. And every breath of air is as clean as a freshly washed white shirt The most famous lone tree by the lake It is a must-see for tourists, but don’t think there are only trees and lakes here. You can climb Roy’s Peak to watch the sunrise. Looking from a high place, the entire Lake Wanaka looks like a piece of unfolded silk. Or head to the Blue Pools to jump into the clear blue water.

"If you want to experience the Middle-earth world from the movie 'The Lord of the Rings,' Wanaka in autumn will captivate you at first sight." Visiting Wanaka at the end of April, driving from Queenstown along winding mountain roads, you'll be surrounded by golden and orange hues, as if stepping into a painted masterpiece. Wanaka's autumn is gentle, clean, and comfortably cool without being cold. Every snapshot you take feels like a wallpaper-worthy image. 📌 Practical Travel Tips 🗓 Best Travel Season: Mid-April to early May is Wanaka's golden autumn season, with bald cypress, maple, and silver birch trees turning golden and orange, transforming the town into a fairytale. 🚗 Transportation: Drive from Queenstown (about 1.5 hours). The mountain roads are in good condition. Renting a car is recommended for flexibility and access to scenic spots along the way. 💰 Cost Reference: Fuel prices are high (NZ$2.8–3.2/L), but accommodation and meals are relatively affordable. Hostels or B&Bs cost around NZ$80–150 per night. 📷 Photography Tips: The best lighting is during sunrise and sunset! Morning is ideal for capturing the lone tree in the lake, while evening is perfect for photographing mountains and golden forest trails. Consider using a polarizing filter (CPL) and warm-tone filters. 📍 Must-Visit Attractions + My Experience 🌳 #ThatWanakaTree (Wanaka Lone Tree) This iconic tree is Wanaka's signature! Standing alone in the lake, its appearance changes with the water level. In autumn, its reflection in the water is especially dreamy. 📸 Tip: Arrive before 6:30 AM to avoid crowds and capture the mist, sunrise glow, and mirror-like lake surface. 📝 Insight: Many visitors leave quickly after seeing the tree. I recommend bringing a cup of coffee and sitting by the lake to watch the changing sky—it's incredibly soothing. 🥾 Roys Peak Track | A Must-Hike Instagram-Worthy Trail Known as "Wanaka's Pinnacle for Photos," this trail is about 8km one way with a 1,200-meter elevation gain. It's challenging but offers breathtaking views! 📍 Starting point is a 15-minute drive from Wanaka town. The hike to the summit takes 3–4 hours. 📸 Highlight: At the summit, you can capture classic views of Wanaka Lake and snow-capped mountains. Weather changes quickly, so bring a windproof jacket. 📝 Insight: I started at 3 PM and reached the summit at sunset. The golden light on the grassy slopes was so stunning it almost brought tears to my eyes. 🍁 Wanaka Station Park | A Local Favorite for Maple Viewing More romantic than the lone tree! This small park is surrounded by golden silver birch trees in autumn, offering a quiet and serene atmosphere. 📍 Less than a 10-minute drive from town, it's also suitable for families or leisurely strolls. 📝 Insight: Perfect for portrait photography with autumn leaves as foreground, backlighting, and warm-tone filters to enhance photo quality. 🛶 Lake Wanaka Kayaking Experience Highly recommend the "sunrise kayak" experience. The guides are professional, and the morning mist creates a magical atmosphere on the lake. 📍 Booking: GoJets or Paddle Wanaka are great options, costing around NZ$120 per person, including guide and equipment. 📝 Insight: It can be chilly, but watching the sunrise gradually illuminate the lake makes it worth every penny. 🍽 Must-Try Food Recommendations 🍕 Francesca’s Italian Kitchen: Handmade Italian pizza paired with local wine—authentic flavors. ☕ Relishes Cafe: Popular brunch spot with exquisite plating and great coffee (Flat White is a must-try). 🍦 Black Peak Gelato: Homemade ice cream with a unique autumn-exclusive pumpkin flavor. 🏨 Accommodation Suggestions Wanaka View Motel: Cozy wooden cabins with lake views, offering great value. The balcony faces the lone tree. Edgewater Hotel: Excellent location with lakeside trails leading directly to sunrise photo spots. Airbnb Recommendation: Look for properties with floor-to-ceiling windows and wooden balconies—perfect for autumn photography. 💬 Final Thoughts Wanaka's autumn is a gentle yet authentic beauty. It's not loud or showy; it quietly invites you to immerse yourself in its colors and atmosphere. There's no need to chase specific attractions here—simply wandering down a leaf-covered path or sitting by the lake for an hour can create the most genuine travel moments.

Discovering New Zealand's 🇳🇿South Island From the moment our plane dipped beneath the clouds over Queenstown, I knew we were in for something extraordinary. Jagged peaks pierced the sky, glacial lakes sparkled like mirrors, and everything seemed impossibly pristine. My partner and I had dreamt of exploring New Zealand's South Island for years—and it delivered far beyond our expectations. 🗓️ Day 1-2: Queenstown – Adventure Capital of the World 📍 We began in Queenstown, a lively town nestled beside Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables mountain range. It’s the perfect base for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike. 💡 Tip: Grab breakfast at Vudu Café and don’t miss the Fergburger experience (yes, the queue is worth it). 🗓️ Day 3–4: Fiordland National Park – Into the Wild 📍 From Queenstown, we took a scenic drive to Te Anau, the gateway to Fiordland. The road alone was breathtaking, winding through lush forests and mirror-like lakes. But the highlight was our overnight cruise on Milford Sound. We kayaked 🚣 beneath towering waterfalls, spotted 🐬 gliding beside the boat, and fell asleep under a canopy of stars. 💡 The sheer scale of the fjords makes you feel small in the best possible way. It’s humbling, quiet, and soul-stirring. 🗓️ Day 4–5: Wanaka – Tranquility and Charm 📍 Next, we headed to Wanaka, a smaller and quieter version of Queenstown, with its own charm. We hiked Roy’s Peak at sunrise—yes, it’s a workout, but the panoramic views are unreal. Later, we strolled the lakefront and found the famous lone Wanaka Tree standing stoic in the water. 💡 Tip: Wanaka’s Rhyme and Reason Brewery was a great place to unwind after a long hike. 🗓️ Day 6–7: Aoraki/Mount Cook – Touching the Sky 📍 Driving into Mount Cook National Park felt like entering another world. Glaciers, turquoise rivers, and the towering peak of Aoraki (New Zealand's highest mountain) greeted us. We did the Hooker Valley Track—a relatively easy 3-hour walk with jaw-dropping scenery the entire way. 🏨 We stayed at the Hermitage Hotel, where the view from our window looked like a postcard come to life. 🗓️ Final Days: Lake Tekapo and Christchurch 📍 On our way north, we stopped at Lake Tekapo. The Church of the Good Shepherd at dusk, with the Milky Way overhead, was the most peaceful moment of the trip. We ended in Christchurch, enjoying a leisurely stroll through the Botanic Gardens and reflecting on everything we’d seen. 💡⭐️ Pro Tip: Use Trip.com to book accommodations and car rentals in advance, especially during peak season (December to March). The flexibility of self-driving made all the difference on our trip. 🧘♀️Final Thoughts New Zealand’s South Island is a land of contrasts—adventure and serenity, mountains and sea, rustic charm and warm hospitality. Every day brought a new landscape, a new emotion, a new story. If you’re looking for a journey that will stir your spirit, challenge your body, and stay in your heart long after you return-start here!

#SpringTravel A feast of colors that heals both the eyes and the soul Spring in New Zealand is like a landscape where God poured out a bucket of paint!

Lonely tree of Lake Wanaka × Warmth of spring 🌳Lake Wanaka Even the lonely tree that was always quiet changes into new buds in spring.

1. Why Choose March to Visit New Zealand?🍂 March is the beginning of autumn in New Zealand. The weather is mild, there are relatively fewer tourists, and the scenery is breathtaking! Golden and crimson autumn leaves adorn the mountains and lakes, making every photo a masterpiece. Moreover, March is the season when summer transitions to autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, allowing you to enjoy both the warm sunshine and the romance of autumn, offering exceptional value! --- 2. Recommended Must-See Attractions📍 ① Queenstown Queenstown is New Zealand's "adventure capital," and the autumn colors in March add a touch of tranquility and romance. We recommend taking the Skyline Gondola for a bird's-eye view of the autumn scenery of Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains. Thrill-seekers can try bungy jumping or jet boating for an adrenaline rush! ② Lake Wanaka Lake Wanaka's "lone tree" is a popular photo spot. In March, the lake is crystal clear, and the autumn leaves are reflected on the surface, creating a picturesque scene. We recommend visiting in the early morning or at dusk for soft lighting and optimal photo opportunities. ③ Lake Tekapo Lake Tekapo is famous for its starry skies, but the autumn scenery in March is equally captivating! Although the lupins by the lake have withered, the golden grasslands contrast beautifully with the azure lake. At night, you can also see the brilliant starry sky of the Southern Hemisphere, making it incredibly romantic! ④ Rotorua This is New Zealand's geothermal wonderland. In March, the autumn colors intertwine with the geothermal steam, creating a unique landscape. We recommend visiting Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland to experience the wonders of nature. --- 3. Practical Travel Tips for March💡 ① Weather and Clothing The average temperature in New Zealand in March ranges from 10–20°C, with significant temperature differences between day and night. We recommend bringing light jackets, long-sleeved clothing, and comfortable hiking shoes to cope with the changeable weather. ② Transportation New Zealand is vast and sparsely populated, making self-driving the best option! March is the off-season, so car rental prices are relatively low, and you can stop along the way to admire the autumn scenery. Remember to apply for an international driving permit in advance! ③ Accommodation Recommendations There are many unique homestays and lake-view hotels around Queenstown and Lake Wanaka. We recommend booking 1–2 months in advance to enjoy discounted prices and choose your preferred room type. --- 4. Food Experience Review🍴 ① New Zealand Steak New Zealand's grass-fed beef is tender and juicy. We recommend trying it at Flame Bar & Grill in Queenstown, paired with a glass of local red wine for a truly satisfying experience! ② Seafood Feast March is the harvest season for seafood. Bluff Oysters and Green-lipped Mussels are must-tries! ③ Honey Ice Cream New Zealand's honey is world-renowned. We recommend trying the local specialty honey ice cream, which has a smooth texture and a sweet but not overpowering taste, perfect for an autumn afternoon treat. --- 5. Travel Budget Reference💰 - Airfare: Round trip approx. RMB 6,000–8,000 (booking in advance is more cost-effective) - Accommodation: Approx. RMB 500–1,000 per night (homestay/hotel) - Car rental: Approx. RMB 300–500 per day - Meals: Approx. RMB 80–150 per meal - Attraction tickets: Approx. RMB 200–500 --- 6.
