[New Zealand] Fox Glacier Short Trail: See the glacier through the mysterious woods

Fox Glacier, located in the South Island of New Zealand, is a famous tourist attraction known for its spectacular glacier scenery and surrounding natural beauty. Here, as well as the glacier itself, there are some walks that are well worth a visit, such as the Minnehaha Walk and Te Weheka Walkway. 📍Minnehaha Walk A short walk that's perfect for the whole family, especially if you're walking at night. This trail is famous for its mysterious forest views and nighttime glow worms. After dark, the woods on both sides of the trail will flash with fluorescent lights, making you feel like you are in a fairy tale world. This trail is about 1.2 kilometers long and the road is flat. The whole journey takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on your walking speed. It is recommended to bring a flashlight in case of emergency. Although searching for campfire bugs requires dark conditions, the trail is narrower in some sections and has small rivers, so it is safer to carry a flashlight. 📍Te Weheka Walkway Te Weheka Walkway is a walking trail in the town of Fox Glacier that offers great opportunities to admire the glacier and surrounding mountain scenery. This trail is suitable for those who enjoy hiking and nature viewing. The trail offers stunning views of the Fox Glacier and Southern Alps, especially on clear days. This trail not only provides natural beauty, but also has some introductory signs about local Maori culture and history, allowing you to learn more about the stories of this land while enjoying the beautiful scenery. Usually starting from the town of Fox Glacier, you can choose to go there or do a circular walk. The total length is about 4 kilometers, and it usually takes 1-2 hours to complete depending on the walking speed. The trail may be muddy in places, so waterproof walking shoes are recommended. #adventuretraveler
