We were shivering in the cold and queued up before dawn, but it was worth it once we entered the village! The 44 colorful little doorways on the hillside are exactly the same as in the movie, with small clothes hanging on the wall and real carrots in the vegetable garden. The details are amazing. We walked with the group for two hours, and the tour guide pointed to Bag End and talked about how to fool the actors in the movie. It was hilarious. The ginger beer in the Green Dragon Tavern was so sweet. I sat by the stove with a wooden cup in my hand, and the waterwheel of the mill creaked outside the window. It was like entering Middle-earth. Before leaving, I touched Bilbo's mailbox - the copper ring was cold, but I felt so happy!

In the movie, Hobbit Village presents the audience with "real" scenes, dwarf cabins, fences, houses and 5,000 square meters of vegetables and flower beds.
You can't travel freely. You have to follow a group to visit scenic spots. In fact, it's still a long way from matamata, and it's a long way to go before we get to the door. Hobbiton's house has only a facade and it's empty inside. The guide lobbies that the inside scenes of the Ring are taken at Wea Studio in Wellington. But it's lovely to see such a small house. And a glass of ginger at Green Dragon Bar. It tastes good.
It's not easy to get to Hobbyton. It's more than three hours'drive from downtown Auckland. The nearby town is quite big. After having a meal in the town, I continued to drive to the scenic parking lot. The parking lot is easy to find, large and free. On the second floor of the ticket office is the restaurant: fast food, on the first floor is the Hobbit Travel Gift Shop. Made in China, the most characteristic product in the shop, is more expensive. Because the time was not right, I waited for an hour at the entrance of the scenic spot after buying the ticket. There was a special Hobbyton bus to pick up the ticket. Self-driving was not allowed to enter the scenic spot. The tour time was 1 hour and 45 minutes. During the day, 79 New Yorkers were one person and the children were free. There are young guides on the bus to explain the whole journey in English. The speed of walking is very slow, the artificial landscape is exquisite, and the natural scenery is beautiful. At the end of the tour, they will take free drinks to Hobitun Restaurant. The cold and delicious ginger beer will relieve a lot of heat.
