Life advice! You must take the amazing journey to New Zealand's South Island

Here, you'll be captivated every day by the beauty of the lakes and mountains, snow-capped glaciers, azure seas and skies, and vast grasslands! ❤️ I've just finished a half-month self-drive tour of New Zealand's South Island, and now I'm sharing my 9 favorite places with you all ⬇️ ❶ Lake Tekapo This place is where you'll fall in love at first sight, with the milk blue waters of the lake set against the snow mountains, and the lupins blooming along the shore, so beautiful it moves you to tears 😭 In my heart, this is the ultimate beauty spot of New Zealand! ❷ Dunedin·Tunnel Beach This is a beautiful coastal walk, somewhat like the White Cliffs of Dover in England, with majestic rocks rising from the sea, spectacular to behold. Sitting on the cliff edge gazing out to sea, enjoying the undisturbed tranquility, is just too pleasant! ❸ Wanaka·The Lone Tree I absolutely love Wanaka, where life moves at a leisurely pace: strolling by the lake, feeding seagulls, sunbathing, enjoying the gentle breeze, and feeling relaxed and happy, it's just too enjoyable! ❹ Akaroa·Shamarra Alpaca Farm Located in a French town in the bay, it's very peaceful and pleasant. Even on cloudy days, the sea is a beautiful blue-green. Spend the morning wandering around town, and the afternoon feeding alpacas at the farm, those freshly sheared alpacas look both ugly and cute 🦙 ❺ Kaikoura Here you'll find a magnificent coastline, with snow-capped mountains and the sea complementing each other, the milk blue sea water, the sky full of seagulls, and seals playing along the shore, it's truly unforgettable. ❻ Wanaka·Coromandel Peak A popular spot for wedding photos in New Zealand, accessible by helicopter, with grand mountain views. Compared to the 16 km hike to Roys Peak, this is more friendly for the lazy. ❼ Mount Cook National Park Definitely worth the hike in New Zealand, super impressive, and you can get up close to glaciers. Even on cloudy days, it's breathtakingly beautiful. ❽ Queenstown·Deer Park Heights This is a self-service entry private farm, one of my favorite places. Each car ticket is $55, and you can drive right up to the top of the mountain to overlook the whole of Queenstown. There are many animals and few tourists, so you can play here all day. ❾ Queenstown·Skyline Take the cable car to the top of the mountain to overlook Queenstown. Although the scenery and value for money are not as good as Deer Park Heights, it's very fun to play on the mountain luge, and taking photos of the cable car and lake together on the mountain is incredibly beautiful. 📌Tips: If it's your first time in New Zealand and you're worried about planning your trip or lack overseas driving experience, I recommend choosing a group tour.
