Best viewing time: - April to September every year is the best time to watch the Southern Lights in New Zealand. During this period, New Zealand is in the autumn and winter seasons.

Organize the feelings from New Zealand. A 14-day trip to New Zealand is like falling into Alice's garden. March-May is the autumn in the southern hemisphere. At this time, New Zealand has colorful colors, and the scenery flows between different towns and regions. The snow-capped peaks of Mount Cook in the distance, the layered yellow maple forest in the town... The entire itinerary is mainly concentrated in the South Island of New Zealand. The towns and regions surrounded by nature in autumn all have their own characteristics, refreshing our perception of the scenery for those who are used to living in the city. Even the original camera of the mobile phone can take the color of the reversal film. The blue here is the color set by God for this. ▪️Kaikoura Whale watching is our biggest expectation in the itinerary. Seeing whales jumping out of the sea is a wish that existed in adolescence. The whale watching boat sailed into the deep blue sea, and was surprised to see the moment that has always been remembered. Kaikoura Peninsula Trail is a hiking route I like very much. Here you can overlook the coastline, and there are lazy seals and sea lions sunbathing on the distant reefs. From the seaside to the top of the mountain pasture, the scenery changes with each step, and the scenery in the oil painting is probably like this. ▪️Wanaka Arriving in Wanaka is a sunny afternoon, lying on the lounge chair on the apartment terrace and drowsy. At night by the lake with only moonlight left, he played with the slide in the park, as if he had returned to his childhood. This is our story in the beautiful town. Take a walk by Lake Wanaka in the early morning, the lake is bluer than the sky, reflecting the distant snow-capped mountains, groups of three or two people walking and chatting, and people passing by us from time to time, jogging, walking dogs, riding bicycles... The ducks by the lake are all walking leisurely, feeling the relaxation of Wanaka. ▪️Queenstown The TSS Earnslaw is the only steamship still in operation in the southern hemisphere, as old as the Titanic. Get on the boat on Lake Wakatipu and head to the Walter Peak Mountain Farm on the opposite bank for dinner. Along the way, there are the colorful autumn scenery of Queenstown. Sitting on the deck, the boat slowly sails, feeling the old romance. There is also a commemorative wooden steamship refrigerator sticker on the ship, which is very delicate. The farm also has a wool shearing performance, and the family strolls around the cute little sheep's peripheral shop, which is so good that it almost missed the return ship... In the farm surrounded by mountains and lakes, watching the golden sunset and the blue coast, it’s just beautiful to be in a daze~ ▪️Hobbiton™ Movie Set The North Island has rich geothermal landscapes and Maori culture. What impressed me most was Hobbiton. The "Lord of the Rings" and other series of movies were filmed here. There are scattered hobbit huts on the hillside, and there are smoking chimneys on the roof, as if entering the story in the movie. Looking at the photos of New Zealand, I still feel the breath of every beautiful scenery. I want to go back and take a walk in the town~

🌟 Highlights: Spectacular fjords and glaciers, beautiful and magical beaches, indigenous Maori culture, and fairy-tale-like lakes and mountains... If you're in the mood, add a dash of courage, and you can challenge yourself at the birthplace of bungee jumping. This is New Zealand, the 'Middle-earth' of the movie The Hobbit, a must-visit destination on countless people's travel lists. ❤ Recommended Reason: Stargazing in the Aoraki Mackenzie Dark Sky Reserve, bathing in the brilliant Milky Way of the Southern Hemisphere!

Have a spiritual conversation with the universe under the clear and pristine dark sky, and feel this unparalleled romance and the stunningly beautiful scenery that seems like a fairyland. 👍 Most Recommended: Lake Tekapo The first image many people recognize of New Zealand is the Church of the Good Shepherd bathed in starlight under a dazzling starry sky, with clusters of lupins blooming quietly. Lake Tekapo, with its high altitude and dry climate, boasts the highest sunshine rate in New Zealand, making it especially suitable for stargazing. 👍 Most Recommended: Queenstown Queenstown is not only a paradise for extreme sports but also an easy place to stargaze. In the evening, take the Queenstown Skyline Gondola to the top of Queenstown Hill, and you can overlook the town of Queenstown as the lights come on. An inadvertent glance upward reveals a sky bathed in brilliant stars. 👍 Most Recommended: Mount Cook Besides the popular stargazing by Lake Tekapo, many photographers also recommend Mount Cook for stargazing. Mount Cook is a paradise for hikers, with multiple hiking trails that take you into the glaciers and snow-capped mountains of Mount Cook. Far from towns and with less light pollution, the majestic Mount Cook makes the starry sky atmosphere even more serene and spectacular. 👍 Most Recommended: Stewart Island Officially rated as the world's fifth International Dark Sky Reserve and the second island reserve. It is uninhabited and closest to Antarctica, so the sky is exceptionally pure.

Mount Cook, also known as Aoraki/Mount Cook, is New Zealand’s highest mountain, standing at 3,724 meters (12,218 feet).

It’s a dream destination for climbers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts, offering challenging terrains as well as easier scenic walks.Aoraki is a sacred mountain to the Ngāi Tahu Māori tribe. According to Māori legend, Aoraki was the name of a boy who, along with his brothers, turned into stone, forming the mountain after their canoe became stranded on a reef and tilted skyward. The mountain holds deep spiritual significance, and the name Aoraki was officially added to Mount Cook in 1998 as part of a settlement between the New Zealand government and the Ngāi Tahu. Aoraki/Mount Cook is not only a paradise for outdoor adventurers but also a place of awe-inspiring beauty, cultural significance, and natural wonder. Whether you’re hiking, climbing, or simply taking in the views, it’s one of New Zealand’s most iconic and breathtaking destinations.

In the morning, we first went to Hooker Glacier, which is a 10 km round trip. It was snowing early in the morning, so only the first bridge was open. After inquiring, we were told that it would be open in the afternoon depending on the situation, at least until the snow stopped or the snowplow team cleared a path. We then moved to Tasman Glacier. Because it was still snowing slightly in the morning, there weren't many tourists out. We went down to the river and, seeing no one around, bravely took a dip in the glacier water. How can you not be crazy when you're young? Due to global warming, the glacier is retreating very quickly, with only a few ice chunks left. In a few years, the glacier might be gone. The snow stopped in the afternoon, so we planned to unlock Hooker Glacier the next day.
