Fiordland National Park hides the wildest beauty of New Zealand! It is located at the southwest end of the South Island, accounting for 1/10 of New Zealand's land area. The densely packed fjords, glacial canyons and pristine rainforests have turned this place into a real-life magical secret land.
The most famous one is Milford Sound. The park also has many treasures: for example, Doubtful Sound is more primitive than Milford, and you can see dolphins jumping out of the water when you take a boat. There are also hiking routes in the park, such as the "Milford Trail", which is known as one of the "best hiking routes in the world", and you can encounter glacial lakes and waterfalls along the way.
It rains all year round here, and clouds often hang on the mountainside. The waterfalls on the cliffs hang down into the deep blue fjords like silver chains. Seals and seabirds can be seen everywhere, and even the air is fresh with grass and water vapor. If you want to experience the most extreme natural power of New Zealand, you can't go wrong here~
A visit to New Zealand's famous Fiordland National Park is rich in content. In the Eglinton Valley, you can experience the largest natural grassland in the park, pass by Mirror Lake to appreciate the beauty of the mirror-like calm water all year round, and hike to see the world's unique cold temperate rainforest. The most exciting activity is to board a boat to cruise Milford Sound, one of the eight wonders of the world, to admire the towering peaks and cascading waterfalls on both sides, and take photos with seabirds...～.
