I've prepared a detailed list for everyone, so you're sure to be prepared‼️ - 🧳Things to prepare: 1️⃣Disposable items‼️ Hotels in New Zealand don't have toothbrushes, slippers, or combs, and some small hotels in towns don't even have conditioner, so you must bring your own 2️⃣A three-plug power strip, which can be used directly when brought here 3️⃣Almost all places accept UnionPay cards, and even WeChat and Alipay ATMs in Queenstown can directly withdraw cash with UnionPay cards (savings cards), and the exchange rate is friendly 4️⃣A water bottle, because mineral water in New Zealand is super expensive, basically 3 NZD per bottle. New Zealand doesn't have hot water, tap water can be drunk directly (but I don't recommend it, it's better to boil it before drinking) 5️⃣Sun protection!! Whether it's sunscreen or physical sun protection, you need to prepare, it's really too sunny folks😭 Sun hats, sunglasses🕶️ are essential for taking pictures, otherwise you can't open your eyes👀 6️⃣A backpack🎒, keep it low-key, the security in the North Island is not as good as the South Island, you know what I mean 7️⃣For short-term travel, it's cheaper to buy a SIM card in China for trips of about ten days, 🍑 treasure has them 8️⃣Some common medicines, such as motion sickness medicine, domestic flights on Air New Zealand are also super bumpy, totally scary🥹 If you're not used to the local food and water, bring some stomach medicine and anti-diarrhea medicine, that's OK - 👚Dressing guide: 1️⃣Although it's summer in New Zealand now, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, especially in places like Mount Cook, so you must bring a windbreaker‼️ Or a thin down jacket, which is convenient to put on and take off 2️⃣The temperature is very comfortable when the sun is out South Island recommendation: sweatshirt, long sleeves, brightly colored sweater (not too thick) At noon in town, you can wear a skirt, it won't be cold North Island recommendation: shirts, skirts are all okay, it's obviously much hotter than the South Island, early summer outfits in China are totally 👌 ⚠️Hiking shoes, comfortable pants are a must! This is very important ⚠️Strapless tops, short sleeves can be brought as inner wear, you can take off the jacket when taking pictures I've put some pictures for your reference 3️⃣No need to bring too many different types of clothes, mix and match can also produce good photos, and there are laundry rooms to wash clothes👚 Of course, shopping here is also very convenient, if you really have no clothes to wear, you can buy them on the spot, the price is still 👌

The South Island of New Zealand is one of the two main islands that make up New Zealand. It is located in the south of New Zealand, separated from the North Island by the Cook Strait to the north, facing Stewart Island across the Foveaux Strait to the south. It is 1600 kilometers west of Australia and borders Tonga and Fiji to the east. The South Island coastline is 6,900 kilometers long and has many beautiful beaches. From Cape Farewell in the north to Bluff in the south, it is 840 kilometers apart, and the widest east-west distance is 336 kilometers. The total area of the island is 154,037 square kilometers, making it the largest island in New Zealand and the twelfth largest island in the world. The Southern Alps on the west coast of the South Island are the largest mountainous area in New Zealand, with Mount Cook being the highest peak at 3,754 meters above sea level. There are narrow plains along the eastern coast, with the Canterbury Plains being the most important. In Maori, the South Island is called "Te Wai Pounamu", which means "greenstone water" in Chinese. Thought.

Aoraki / Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand. Its height, as of 2014, is listed as 3,724 metres. It sits in the Southern Alps, the mountain range that runs the length of the South Island. A popular tourist destination, it is also a favourite challenge for mountain climbers.

lucky day.. Recently, the weather in the South Island has been bad.. Many projects have been continuously cancelled.. Even a plane was blown back.. Today was originally scheduled to fly at 10 o'clock and was delayed until 10:30.. When we came back and waited for our flight to finish.. The wind started to blow.. The staff said we were very lucky.. They are not receiving any more today… Here are some tips for everyone: 1⃣️Children who are too young may be scared. My child is two years and seven months old and was almost crying throughout the journey.. He was only happy when we reached the snow mountain.. When we came down, he started to grip our hands tightly again… So.. Act according to your ability 2⃣️Selfie sticks, dolls, iPads, backpacks are not allowed.. They can be left with the staff. 3⃣️Try to wear bright colors, it looks good in photos! 4⃣️Be calm.. Because the weather has been really windy recently. Apart from this, the helicopter experience is really worth it…

Mount Cook is located in the central part of the South Island With an altitude of 3754 - the highest peak in New Zealand, covered with glaciers all year round For ordinary people, it is the easiest glacier to reach, and there are no special physical requirements, unlike many glacier areas where there will be altitude sickness, here you just need to take a helicopter to easily touch the glacier If you are moved, bring your family or friends to take a look

Compared to the beautiful scenery of New Zealand, I think what is more memorable is the outdoor project. A day of challenging the limit, shooting the starry sky until three o'clock in the morning the night before, and hurriedly eating a few biscuits in the morning and driving more than 100 kilometers to hike the Cook Mountain Glacier. Because I was not addicted to glacier hiking for three hours in Iceland before, I specifically chose the five-hour Hard mode this time... . The three-hour and five-hour hiking projects are not only different in time, but also different in equipment. The five-hour hike requires more professional hiking equipment, including snow shoes, trekking poles, safety harnesses and other equipment. Led by the ATG guide, the six of us were connected by a safety rope and walked on the snow in snow shoes. . You can take a helicopter or a glider up the mountain. Because the altitude of flight and hiking is high, you can see many hanging glaciers on both sides of the canyon and the twin peaks of New Zealand - Cook Mountain and Tasman Mountain. You can vaguely see the blue ice cave on the snow mountain, and the snow underneath is glowing blue. The guide said that the snow on the mountain can be eaten. I couldn't help but tasted it. It was light and tasteless, like a shaved ice without sugar. . Lying on the snow and looking at the rolling hills around, the dazzling sunlight made me close my eyes, and I really wanted to sleep. The snow mountain hiking under the scorching sun is very hot, it is recommended to bring more water. The beauty seen by the naked eye during the snow mountain hike cannot be captured by the camera, and this experience is even more precious. For friends who like outdoor hiking, I recommend you to experience it!

🌟Highlights: New Zealand is the last pure land in the world. It has all terrains except deserts. New Zealand's glaciers are the only two temperate glaciers in the world (the other temperate glacier country is Chile). New Zealand's glaciers were formed 4000 years ago, due to continuous snowfall at that time, the snow pressure formed glaciers. Many terrains in the South Island of New Zealand are related to the movement of glaciers. Tasman Glacier is located on a mountain about 5000 meters above sea level. It is currently the largest glacier in New Zealand, with a length of about 90 kilometers. Taking a helicopter to watch the whole panorama of Tasman Glacier is a very shocking experience. The whole process is about 45 minutes, including about 10 minutes of glacier landing. After takeoff, you can not only enjoy the largest glacier in New Zealand, but also enjoy the highest peak of New Zealand, Mount Cook. Highly recommended! 📝Note tips: When taking a helicopter to watch the glacier, you cannot bring selfie sticks, carry-on bags, etc. It is recommended to deposit before takeoff. After boarding, you must fasten your seat belt throughout the journey. When landing on the glacier, stand in the front of the plane to avoid being injured by the propeller at the back of the helicopter. 📍Detailed address: Mount Cook National Park
