Christchurch
🖼 Christchurch Arts Centre
This was once the site of the University of Canterbury and is now a hub dedicated to art, creativity, and culture in New Zealand. Stroll leisurely under the old arcades, visit a few interesting studios, pick out a uniquely crafted souvenir, and feel the peaceful moment where history and creativity perfectly blend.
🥨 Riverside Market Christchurch
This is the liveliest indoor food market in Christchurch, a modern and aromatic food paradise. Come hungry, and like your “current boyfriend,” embrace an open mind to eat from street to alley in a borderless culinary exploration.
Lake Tekapo
🔭 Mount John Observatory
Climb Mount John by Lake Tekapo and you’ll be doubly amazed: a magnificent panoramic view by day and a deep window to the universe by night. The Astro Café ☕️ at the summit is surrounded by huge glass windows, offering a 360-degree unobstructed view of Lake Tekapo, Mount Cook, and the surrounding mountains.
🌌 Stargazing at Lake Tekapo
When night falls, you may witness the most dazzling night sky of your life: the center of the Milky Way clearly visible, like a brilliant band stretching across the sky, with billions of stars seemingly within reach. The awe inspired by this naked-eye-visible Milky Way is unimaginable for city dwellers.
Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park
🚁 Tasman Glacier Helicopter & Glacier Hike
In the heart of the Southern Alps lies an adrenaline-pumping ultimate adventure—the Tasman Glacier helicopter tour and hike. The helicopter flies over the massive Tasman Glacier, New Zealand’s longest glacier, which looks like a huge, winding frozen river from above. After landing, the real exploration begins. With the help of professional guides, you’ll put on crampons and embark on a once-in-a-lifetime glacier hike.

Wanaka Town is a very beautiful town in New Zealand, located on the shore of the famous Lake Wanaka. There are no tall buildings there, only small houses with two floors at most, and the environment is very quiet and elegant. There are many small bars and restaurants by the lake, where you can dine, taste the food, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Wanaka, which is really very relaxing and comfortable.
Wanaka (Wanaka) is a lakeside town in Lake Wanaka, South Island, New Zealand. There are many cafes, restaurants and interesting shops. In retrospect of this trip, my wife said that she had visited so many cities in South Island, and if she wanted to choose the city where she wanted to settle most, it would be Vanaka. On the one hand, although there are many restaurants and shops, they are not as bustling as Queens Town. On the other hand, the local people have a strong sense of life. They stay here for a short time and see a park holding a community-based activity, which is a bit like a garden party. I also saw the family dressed formally to dinner, full of strong breath of life. In short, you are in Vanaca, both tourists and local residents seem to naturally integrate into this beautiful community, quiet and comfortable.
The rhythm of nature is particularly beautiful and makes people feel very comfortable. It is worth recommending. It is wonderful to immerse yourself in it.
Ten years ago, Queen's Town was not well known to the Chinese. It was a popular place for local people to spend their holidays. Now Queens Town, especially during the big holidays in our country, is full of Chinese people. The local people gradually transfer their resort to Wanaka Town, which is about an hour's drive away from Queens Town. Lake Vanaka here is more pure than Lake Vakatip. If the sun is shining, the scenery will be very beautiful. The famous New Zealand windscape crooked neck tree, on the lakeside, but there are many similar trees, can not find which is the true face. When it first came in 2013, the town was small, but it was a city for South Island to revisit after four years. Supermarkets, restaurants, shops are all available, along the lake is very busy, and more and more shops provide Chinese services.
Vanaka is a charming town on New Zealand's South Island, second only to Queen Town. Its quiet and serene Lake attracts adults and children. All kinds of restaurants and shops can meet different needs. Blue cod chips taste great. Wool products stores are rich in varieties and will certainly satisfy the shopping desire. A variety of outdoor sports have also attracted many young people.
