Experience Paradise on Earth in Glenorchy ✨

Just a 45-min drive away from Queenstown lies a picturesque little town called Glenorchy. Because of it’s stunning scenery, this place has formed the backdrop for films like The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings and Narnia, so if you’re a fan of these movies, you definitely have to visit this place! You can also take a walk along the Glenorchy Walkway, which is a 1-2 hours loop track that takes you around the town to admire the mountain ranges and the beautiful lagoon. During sunset, many photographers will gather around the boardwalk to capture photos of the lagoon and snow-capped mountains in the orange sunset glow. Also, don’t forget to take a photo with the iconic red house before you go! #momentssg #scenicspotguide #travelinspiration #newzealand

That Famous Red House in Glenorchy!

Those who have read any travel magazines or on the internet about New Zealand, must have seen this red little house being featured before. Located just 45mins drive away from the main town of Queenstown, Glenorchy is a MUST VISIT for those who are traveling in this area. The scenery and landscapes here are just pure beauty. It is a charming little town featuring pristine lakes, snow capped mountains, and native beech forest. If you’re into movies, you may also recognize this place as a scene found in lord of the rings or the chronicles of narnia. I personally spend 3 days in this place and honestly I just couldn’t get enough of how beautiful this place is. Small tip: Make sure you are bringing a camera you can to this place because a photo of this place might be the best souvenir to bring home! #hiking #nationalpark #decembertravel #scenicspotguide #travelinspiration #naturalwonders

One of the two must-visit spots around Queenstown is the town of Glenorchy

Glenorchy is located 50 kilometers away from Queenstown. Over a hundred local households still live here, unlike the bustling commercial atmosphere of Queenstown. It's a very peaceful and pure town, the last untouched land of New Zealand, the last Middle-earth. It is also the location for many Hollywood movie shoots, Wolverine, The Chronicles of Narnia, Underworld, Fast & Furious 7. Take a morning off to relax and check in here. It's great👍🏻

Middle-earth, a pure land beyond the world.

From the small village of Glenorchy , drive for more than ten kilometers to reach the "Heavenly Town". Within a few miles, there is no human shadow to be seen, so why is it called a town? In fact, this is a private paradise-like pasture, where only cows and sheep leisurely graze. The people here live a life like hobbits, and it can be called a 200% pure natural place. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, primitive lakes and rivers flow underfoot, and there are ancient mountain birch forests. Everything you see is such a beautiful and picturesque natural landscape. You can say that this is a pure land on earth, or you can say it is a Middle-earth, any expression is not excessive. Because of this, several blockbuster movies have been filmed here, such as the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit, and so on. The tour guide is thoughtful and brings props from the movies, allowing tourists to enjoy the pleasure of taking photos in Hollywood blockbusters and having afternoon tea in a beautiful environment, how romantic. Although the journey is only 4 and a half hours, it left me with an unforgettable experience in my life journey!

New Zealand | God knows that the last time I actually only set foot in the paradise of the town of paradise paradise town Huashan Road, basically do not have to navigate, all the way like this puddle, large and small. It is recommended that everyone meet the puddle, be sure to get off the bus and check to see the depth, especially the car. On the road, I saw a driving van turning over the car waiting for the rescue, and because the puddle was too deep on the roadside to give up. Paradise town is open to the end, is a parking lot, and is also the beginning of a walking spot. Never imagined that the ending of this story is actually a hole in the sky, inside is a group of foreigners, all wearing mountaineering equipment, it is obvious that they are on foot. Looking at the map, my days are actually so long walking routes. When I first went to New Zealand, I flipped through all the basic posts, but I didn't see the detailed introduction of Paradise Town and this hiking route, but I missed so much.

Paradise, literally translated into Chinese, is called paradise, and literary point translation is a paradise on earth. The visitor reviews that have been to this place are quite different, and some say it is worthwhile to go to another part and say that it is a waste of time. We have been adhering to the rigorous style of going to know, or decided to go and find out. The road to Paradise is not very easy to open, gravel road, and sometimes you need to drowning water, you can get off-road vehicles. Need to be reminded is, must not be zuo, trapped inside can not do insurance or lose. . . All the way to the past, everywhere is the cattle and sheep, we lamented it is no wonder that the beef and mutton here is delicious, the life is so empty every day, no pressure, eat well....Opened to the end of the paradise town, is a hiking trail Look at the introduction of the street sign for more than ten hours! ! ! Since it is here, it means to go for a while. . Walked to a lawn, so a few people sat on the lawn and ate a orange and sighed about life, surrounded by silence.... Overall, personal play feeling is: neither to Paradise There is too much expectation, because the point on the map "Paradise" is likely to disappoint you; don't be disappointed with Paradise, because as long as you are willing to go deep, it is definitely a paradise.

Gorgeous Lake in Queenstown

Lake Wakatipu is an inland lake visible from Queenstown and it is the longest lake in New Zealand. The view of this is gorgeous from every angle. When viewing from Queenstown, get to a high point and enjoy the panoramic view from above. #bucketlistreboot

To hike up the Ben Lomond without taking the gondola starts from the trail beside the cemetery up to the gondola station and then walk follow the sign until you arrive at the peak of Ben Lomond. The view from the Gondola station view deck is awesome, you can enjoy the view of the Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu.

This is a very attractive lake that borders Queenstown. There are many options for enjoying the including cruises, jet skis and paddle boarding, but be careful as the water is very cold and a thick wetsuit is recommended. Interestingly, there is a seiche that is a slow tidal wave that is sort of like a tide that raises and lowers the water level by 8 inches every 27 minutes. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

The Routeburn Trail, the tenth most popular hiking route in the world, was a stunned one today, four hours, 14km. Compared to the Rakiura Track on Stewart Island, the weather is much better, the terrain is more gradual, so it is more labor-saving, but the plants are not so rich, not so original. The snowy view of the camp is great, that is, there is little snow. I feel that I havent been so obsessed with Snow Mountain since I saw the snow-capped mountains of Alaska. Looking forward to a snowy mountain that reminds me of it again, just like expecting an irreplaceable you

The town of Glenorchy is small, and the location of this caf is also prominent, right next to the Warrior Monument. Located in the building of an old post office, you can see the view of the outer mountains, a huge lawn, you can eat and drink coffee outside, there will be many birds to find food. The view of the garden behind is really good, the sun is shining, and you can see the snowy mountains in the distance. So under the flowering tree, we ate coffee and ate food, while looking at the scenery and brushing the phone, it was very comfortable.
