💖Overview of attractions
✔️Fox Glacier: Fox Glacier is the most accessible glacier in the world, with a length of 13 kilometers and is located in Taiputini National Park, New Zealand. Tucked into the forested foothills of the Alps, the cozy town of Fox Glacier is a great choice for glacier walks, flight activities and scenic excursions.
✔️Milford Sound: Milford Sound means "the first wild thrush" in Maori. It is the largest and most famous fjord in New Zealand's Fiordland National Park. The river extends 22 kilometers inland. The fjord water surface intersects with the mountain cliff vertically, and the glacier is cut into a V-shaped cross section. Milford Sound has a number of day cruises and all-inclusive overnight trips, with underwater viewing, diving and kayaking being the most popular activities. ❄️
✔️Oamaru Blue Penguin Habitat: Blue penguins are a type of blue penguin unique to New Zealand. In Oamaru, tourists can get up close and personal with these cute little penguins. Every evening, groups of blue penguins gather offshore to wait for dark, then swim under the stands on the shore, climb up the steep shore, rest for a while on the top of the rock wall, and then return to their habitat across the viewing area.
✔️Aoraki Mount Cook National Park: Aoraki Mount Cook National Park has New Zealand’s highest mountain and longest glacier. This is a pure alpine world composed of steep peaks, huge glaciers and permanent snowfields. Discover many pleasures on your alpine walks, including beautiful alpine lakes, vast meadows and spectacular glacial views. If you are lucky, you may meet the funny kea.
✔️Tekapo: Located between Christchurch and Queenstown, the entire Lake Tekapo is jewel-like turquoise and the scenery is dreamy. The small town of Tekapo has a "Dark Sky Reserve" covering an area of 4,300 square kilometers, spanning the Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, and is world-famous for being able to watch New Zealand's brightest starry sky. The best stargazing spot in the town is at the Shepherd's Church on the edge of Lake Tekapo. Looking up at the night sky, your eyes are filled with stars, and you feel like you are trapped in the stars, like a dream.
☀️In New Zealand, a land known as the "Pure Land", self-driving is undoubtedly the most romantic way to travel. Imagine driving your car through glaciers, lakes, green fields and volcanoes. Every frame is a postcard-level scenery. This is not only a trip, but also a baptism of the soul and an intimate dialogue with nature.
