The three-day and two-night extreme strategy of Mount Cook, the secret of Hong Kong girls saving money

Hong Kong girls test! Mount Cook three days and two nights ultimate strategy, 3k per person to play through the glacier starry sky Hey! Sisters! Listen to me, Mount Cook is so beautiful! The glacier and the starry sky are sandwiched together, it's basically a real-life fairy tale world. I regret not going there for the rest of my life! Mount Cook, the soul of New Zealand Mount Cook, New Zealand’s highest peak at 3724 meters above sea level, towers over the Southern Alps as a giant guarding this magical land. 40% of the area here is covered by glaciers. As soon as the sunlight shines on the glacier, the mysterious blue light that shines through seems to be a mysterious summons from ancient times. What's more, Mount Cook is also the world's first "International Dark Sky Reserve", the stars are shining at night, the galaxy seems to be reached and touched, and even NASA was attracted to make a documentary! Stay for 3 days and play a game with the weather Why stay at Mount Cook for 3 days? Because the weather here is like a child's face, it can change at any time. These three-day trips are basically a battle of wits and courage with the weather! The perfect itinerary formula • Day1: Pilot Day (30% Success Rate | Win goes straight up to the glacier) • Day2: Backup Day (50% Success Rate | Switch to the trail immediately in bad weather to avoid the crowds without wasting time) • Day3: Ultimate Day (80% Success Rate | Morning Rush is unbeatable) Lessons in blood and tears I am a living negative example! I booked the helicopter glacier tour for Day 2, but when I woke up in the morning, I saw that the fog was so thick that I couldn't see my feet. I immediately rushed to the reception to reschedule, but there were more than 100 people fighting for the last 5 seats for tomorrow. The scene was simply a "fight between gods and gods"! So be sure to prepare ahead of time: 1. Book a tour that can be rescheduled for free, Glacier Helicopters is quite good, to give us a sense of security. 2. Check the weather cam on time at 6 am, Mount Cook Airport live broadcast is the most accurate, grasp the weather dynamics before you can say anything. 3. Backup: Bad weather to fly? Switch to the trail now! Recommend the Kea Point trail (1 hour round trip, novices can hold) or Hooker Valley short section, hiking can also see different angles of the glacier view, cloudy days instead less people, photography no passers-by! Three days and two nights extreme itinerary, follow the line will not miss anything Day1: Warm-up race, glacier front attraction sweep • 09:00 From Christchurch, the drive begins! Along the way, we pass Lake Pukaki, the milk blue lake water is fantastic, be sure to stop to take pictures, eat a sandwich and enjoy the leisure. • 12:00 Arrive at High Country Salmon Farm. Tender salmon with a fresh sauce that instantly detonates your taste buds in one bite. • 15:00 Take the Tasman Glacier Trail and climb all the way up to admire the magnificent glacial crevasses and, if you’re lucky, touch the blue ice and feel the magic of nature. • 19:00 Return to the youth hostel to cook dinner, fried with frozen lamb rack bought in Wanaka, sprinkled with some cumin, the whole hostel's foreigners rush over to ask for recipes, know how to play and can make friends with food! Remember not to eat screw powder to stink relatives 😆 Day2: Helicopter Showdown, Miracle on the Clouds • 06:00 Rush to the airport! The chances of fog dissipating are highest in the morning, so in order to get a helicopter ride, rush! Remember to wear waterproof sweatpants! The wind blowing from the wings will carry ice particles and water vapor. If you don't wear waterproof pants, you will get cold to your toes in minutes and get wet! Also remember to wear waterproof and non-slip sneakers • 08:00 Finally board the helicopter and fly towards the glacier! 20 minutes of flight with a bird's eye view of the mountains and glaciers, the shock is needless to say! After getting off the plane, walk for 1 hour on the glacier and touch the thousand-year-old blue ice, which is like traveling through time and space. (Helicopter round trip Glacier ticket: NZ$510/person, about HK$2448/person) • 13:00 To the Hooker Valley trail, you have to walk over 3 suspension bridges all the way, with beautiful views to see at each step, the lake reflection at the end is screaming beautiful! • 18:00 Join the starry sky tour, look up and see the Milky Way and the Aurora Borealis together, and although the chill is shivering, it’s all worth the price of admission! Day3: Complete the plan, the ultimate exploration of the secret realm • 09:00 Challenge Sealy Tarns "Stairway to Heaven" to climb 2200 stairs, although the process is hard, but when you reach the top, overlooking the panoramic glacier view, you know all the effort was not in vain! • 12:00 Return to the hostel to quickly cook a clear freezer meal. • 14:00 Join the glacier hike (800 NZD/person, about HK$3840/person), the most important thing: jeans are strictly prohibited! It’s wet and cold on the glacier, and it’s hard to dry your jeans when they get wet, and they stick to your skin and cramp from the cold. Be sure to wear waterproof hiking pants, safe and comfortable! Follow the guide deep into the glacier and see all the ice caves and ice cracks. The experience is truly unique! • 16:00 Get ready to return to Christchurch and be sure to refill at the foot of the hill before you leave.

Clothing Red Alert: Must wear waterproof sweatpants when riding in a helicopter, absolutely no jeans when climbing a glacier! If you don't remember these two things, you'll ruin the whole trip in minutes! 2. Sunscreen ultimate: snow mountain UV rays are 3 times stronger than the beach, be sure to replenish sunscreen, especially the nose, do not wait for the sun to peel off to regret! 3. Food and Grass Strategy: There is no supermarket in Mount Cook Village! Be sure to grab cup noodles, snacks, frozen lamb chops, and fresh mussels at New World in Christchurch or Wanaka. 4. Hiking safety first: Ask about the weather and trail conditions at the Visitor Center before you leave every day, and borrow a pair of hiking poles (YHA rent NZD 5/day). Sisters!
