📍South Island, New Zealand. Cromwell | A must-see New Zealand orchard town

If you ask me where to go for a relaxing Dragon Boat Festival holiday I'll tell you in secret: Cromwell This small town hidden in the interior of New Zealand's South Island There is sunshine, orchards, and a kind of silence that makes people reluctant to speak. Driving down a country road lined with fruit trees, The air is filled with the scent of peaches, cherries, and freshly picked apricots Just like opening a sweet rice dumpling, every layer is full of surprises The stone walls and nostalgic shops at the other end of the ancient town Like a puzzle piece that time forgot to take away; Reflections by the lake, ducks at your feet They are all so relaxed, as if they know there is no need to rush here. You can have a picnic on the shore of Lake Dunstan Arrange fresh plums from the fruit stand in a circle Imagine wrapping a colorful fruit dumpling and giving it to the sparkling lake in front of you. You don't have to be crowded during the Dragon Boat Festival, why not come here? Replace the fragrance of zongzi with the fragrance of fruit, and let the wind replace the glutinous rice to wrap up time Gently, steam out a three-day vacation that you don't want to wake up from ⸻——Sharing of travel information———— ▪️Location: Cromwell, located in the central Otago region of New Zealand's South Island, close to Queenstown and Wanaka ▪️Features: orchards, historic towns, Lake Dunstan lakeside scenery ▪️Transportation: About 50 minutes by car from Queenstown and about 40 minutes from Wanaka ▪️Best time to visit: Autumn (March-May) is the peak season for fruit picking, and the Dragon Boat Festival holiday (early winter in the southern hemisphere) is still suitable for lakeside walks and ancient town visits #Dragon Boat Festival Destinations #New Zealand South Island #Snow Scenery
