If you don't want to go to the well-known popular attractions during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday Recommended Tahunanui Beach in South Island, New Zealand In the Nelson Sun Sunbathe yourself like an empty dumpling, even the troubles evaporate just right The beach here is as wide as a piece of white paper The sea water caresses the shore layer by layer, like a child gently tracing with his fingers. You can walk barefoot along the sea to the horizon You can also rent a skateboard and fly in the sea breeze. Even better, there are coffee shops and ice cream stands nearby. Sit down and order a flat white In front of me are children chasing waves, dogs running, and people flying kites. The whole picture is like a summer ballad Why is it recommended to come here during the long holidays? Because the South Island has entered early winter during this period, the sun is still warm but not too hot. With fewer people and a slower pace, you will find: A true vacation is not about how far you walk, but about finding a beach where you can breathe quietly. ⸻———Sharing of travel information———— ▪️Location: Tahunanui Beach, located southwest of Nelson city, South Island, New Zealand ▪️Transportation: You can drive or ride a bicycle from downtown Nelson, about 10 minutes away ▪️Features: long sandy beach, plenty of sunshine, diverse water activities (windsurfing, skateboarding, swimming) ▪️Recommended time to visit: May-June every year, the weather is still comfortable, suitable for quiet relaxation and outdoor activities #Dragon Boat Festival good places

Where to go during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday? I recommend Boulder Bank in South Island, New Zealand. This stone necklace seems to be left by the gods 13km winding route along Tasman Bay Like a natural breakwater, also like a slow travel practice Walking on the pebbled embankment, every step is like stepping into time The stones under my feet seem to tell how the sea breeze has carved the land over the past century. There is no crowd here, no noise or lights, only the waves and footsteps. Long holidays are especially suitable for such "walking and thinking" travel Like the traditional festival scene It's like giving your body and mind a chance to dry and reorganize. ⸻———Sharing of travel information—————— ▪️Location: Boulder Bank Scenic Reserve, near the coast of Nelson, South Island ▪️Features: A long embankment of giant stones formed by natural ocean currents, with a walk to the century-old lighthouse ▪️Transportation: Drive 10-15 minutes from downtown Nelson to the starting point, or join a local guided boat or hiking group ▪️Recommended time to visit: Late fall and early winter (May-June) with magnificent scenery and pleasant temperatures, suitable for hiking and photography #Dragon Boat Festival good places

Easy to book tour via its website. Suitable for family. There's a cafe inside where it sells everything with Pic's peanut butter! Sample before you purchase your favourite peanut butter.

Nelson is in the South Island of New Zealand! Nelson is always so nice that it has the nickname of Sunny Nelson.ㅎㅎ The sea is calm and it's such a pretty city. It's located in the exact center of New Zealand!

The Centre of New Zealand is located atop Botanical Hill on the eastern edge of Nelson city centre. The hike up to this spot is a short 30 min walk and you can enjoy spectacular views of Nelson City and Tasman Bay. When it is foggy, the view does get hampered slightly, but it is definitely still worth the short climb! #bucketlistreboot

📍Rabbit Island, New Zealand Like its name suggests, it's an island inhabited by many wild rabbits! You can get there by car, and you can watch a beautiful sunset on the beautiful beach and have a leisurely rest! It's close to Nelson, so if you're traveling around the area, I recommend stopping by for a picnic! #New Zealand #New Zealand Travel #New Zealand South Island #Rabbit Island

Nelson is the first big city to enter the South Island, a paradise on the northwest corner of New Zealand's South Island, and one of New Zealand's sunniest places.
