New Zealand North Island｜From Shaolin Soccer to the South Pacific｜Wellington’s Farewell Scenery

｜Itinerary｜ Wellington is a paradise for movie fans, and when you come here you certainly can't miss the Weta Workshop. It is not only a place of pilgrimage for "Lord of the Rings" fans, but the giant monster statue at the entrance also changes its appearance during special events. This time it is FIFA, and there is a football under its feet, which reminds people of the familiar face of Keelung Port. Maybe you can even play Shaolin soccer with it. After taking the photos, we drove towards the south coast, hoping to try our luck at encountering sea lions. Although we didn't see any in the end, the snow-capped mountains of the South Island appeared early. On one side was the vast South Pacific Ocean, and on the other side were distant snow-white mountain views. My grandfather, who was taking pictures next to me, and I raised our cameras at the same time. This scenery was worth it. ｜Transportation｜ Weta Workshop can be reached by bus or by car from the city. It is recommended to visit the sea view attractions in the Miramar area. If you have time, you can also arrange a drive to the South Coast, which has excellent scenery and views. ｜Recommendations｜ When I went home to pack my luggage, I realized that I had forgotten to eat "Beef Wellington" in Wellington! But it doesn’t matter. In this city with the highest average wind speed in the world, the light and shadows interwoven by clouds and sunlight have already come to a perfect end. Being a passer-by in Wellington is already a kind of satisfaction in the journey. #AprilGoodDestinations2025
