▲ Wanaka is located in the Otago region of New Zealand's South Island, nestled at the foot of the Southern Alps on the shores of Lake Wānaka. It offers the perfect trio of "lake views + snow-capped mountains + autumn colors": in late spring, capture photos of cherry blossoms by the lake and lavender fields; in summer, enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding, and lakeside riding; in autumn, golden poplar leaves reflect on the lake's surface; in winter, the Cardrona and Treble Cone ski fields open, with shuttle buses running every 10 minutes. The iconic landmark is the "Wanaka Tree," just a 5-minute walk away, where sunrise and sunset photos look like postcards.

▲ Arrowtown in New Zealand emerged during the 19th-century gold rush and now preserves over 60 historic buildings and Chinese miner relics. From March to May, visitors can admire the spectacular autumn foliage, making it a photographer's paradise. The annual "Arrowtown Autumn Festival" takes place during the last week of April. The warm climate from November to March is ideal for hiking, including trails to the Arrow River where you can try gold panning. Enjoy local wines while exploring this classic must-visit destination on New Zealand's South Island.
