New Zealand's French town - Akaroa.

🏞[Destination Guide] 🚗Transportation guide: Starting from Christchurch, it takes about an hour's drive to reach Akaroa. It's worth noting that the scenery along the way is really beautiful (picture 1), but there are many winding mountain roads, which can easily cause motion sickness, so be mentally prepared. 🛏Hotel information: On the road, there is a characteristic hotel transformed from a barn that you can check in at. I haven't experienced it myself, but I took a photo at the entrance (picture 4). 🌟Must-visit spot in the area: Take a walk by the seaside, feel the sea breeze, super comfortable. It was cloudy when I went there, it would be even more picturesque if it was sunny. If you want some excitement, you can also take a boat out to sea 🚢 to see dolphins 🐬, or even swim with wild dolphins. My itinerary was a bit rushed this time, so I didn't go out to sea, but I believe it should be a great experience. There are many handicraft shops here, some are ordinary standardized souvenir shops, but there are also special small shops, which feel like unique pieces. You can try to dig around. I bought a cute and ugly kiwi bird and felt a little proud. 🍽Food guide: Here is a popular online shop that sells fried fish and chips (picture 8). You have to queue and fight for a seat, but personally I think the taste is average and not my cup of tea. It's just ordinary fast food. 💗Travel experience: A very comfortable small town, where friends with plenty of time can stay for a while. For foreign tourists, it is not a popular attraction, but there are still quite a few local tourists.
