On the fifth day of the South Island trip, from Christchurch, we crossed the Canterbury Plain, and there were snowy mountains and lakes in front of us. This was the difference between the South Island and the North Island, one fire and one ice. North Island volcanoes and hot springs, South Island has glaciers, snowy mountains, lakes, it is recommended to come to New Zealand must start from the North Island. More than two hours drive to Lake Tikapu, New Zealand's second largest lake, surrounded by shrouded trees and snowy mountains. You can see the super beautiful starry sky, the quaint Good Shepherd Church standing quietly by the lake, everything is so quiet and peaceful. Many people will choose to register their marriage here and achieve a beautiful marriage of God's joy under the witness of the priest. In a few days, the season of Lu Binghua blooms, the blue lake of Turkey is full of light milk white, and the colorful Lu Binghua in summer is more beautiful under the lake. Then came Lake Pukaki, known as the Blue Milk Lake, which is located in the mountains of Canterbury. The sky-blue lake is like a sloping fragrant milk, and I can’t help but want to take a sip because the distinctive blue makes it famous. It is also the best place to look out over the magnificent Southern Alps, and the main shooting location for Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. The last stop, drive to the foot of Mount Cook, which is also called Awlaki in Cook Maori, meaning "Mount Cloud." One-third of the perennial snow here, not only can you experience the Tasman glacier, New Zealand's largest glacier, up close, but also can take a helicopter to overlook the magnificent scenery of Mount Cook. Unfortunately, the weather is not good, nothing has been experienced, can only stay until the next time to make up for the regret. Tip: New Zealand Lubing flower season is November to January the next year, but also the tourist season, must book accommodation transportation early, etc., otherwise it is impossible to book accommodation.

    The South Island is known as the Ice Island, and the North Island is more natural and landscaped. The road trip will never feel any dullness. New Zealand's most beautiful scenery is always on the road.

    We traveled along the South Island sightseeing road through Invercargill and Brave Towns, from Christchurch to Nidin and then to Queenstown. The Caterings scenery along the way was so beautiful. We stop at the Kanning Falls, the Blue-Eye Penguin Habitat (need to go early in the evening), the Moraki Big Pebble, the Bay of Curio and the Cape of Nugate. The Bay of Curio is really original and often sees marine life. We really wanted to go deeper, but we had to stop by Queenstown because of the tight time.

    Wake up in Tikapo Town and set off for Queenstown today, the road is the landscape avenue on New Zealand's South Island, full of Lu Binghua around New Year's Day. The clouds outside are very thick. It rained during breakfast. It will be very cold once it rains here. Fortunately, I have a coat brought from Beijing (I thought that the summer in the southern hemisphere would be useless at all) and the road will continue to road the alpine lakes. They are surrounded by snowy mountains, Lu Binghua swaying, and the camera is not willing to put it down. Passing by a salmon shop, my friend said that the alpine lake salmon here is particularly delicious, get off the bus and eat a meal before going on the road! I bought a box of ten pieces of salmon, with soy sauce and mustard, it was really delicious! Better than what I eat in Japan, children's shoes should not miss it. The blue sky and white clouds are always accompanied by blue and purple Lu Binghua, which is always not enough. The roads in New Zealand are better, and the good scenery on the road is also dazzling. It can be said that it is a self-driving paradise. Once I saw the Lu Binghua on the roadside blooming well, I would make a lot of noise and let my friend stop and take pictures of me. Finally, I couldn't recess me and let me down.

    A group of New Zealand roads, it is the summer of New Zealand, really super beautiful, the most beautiful scenery on the road, every day by car will feel particularly happy. If you choose a way to travel, New Zealand is the most suitable for self-driving around the island. The only regret is that these beautiful roads cannot be parked. If you take pictures, you can take pictures in the car.

    Traveling outside to enjoy the beautiful scenery, food and beauty is "quirking", watching the scenery also depends on the "west mirror"! Traveling in New Zealand to see sheep full of hillsides or watching a sheep shearing show is a common practice, but I can't think of this time on the way back to Queenstown twice an hour for rare things to stop The car is also related to the "sheep", which is only available in the "middle earth world" of New Zealand. From the glacier back through the famous "Homer tunnel", the tour guide and driver suddenly parked the car. When he got off the bus, he saw two "crooked nuts" studying a bird called Kea (Maori). Don't look at it. The "sleeping eyelid" is like a scorpion, and the name of the scorpion is not a "wave". It is very annoying. It often attacks the sheep, and even jumps on the back of the sheep. With its strong scorpion, the skin of the sheep is worn, the fat on the sheep is swallowed and the lamb is eaten. Make live sheep blood-stained antelope feathers are relatively rich, mainly green, antelope is a unique bird species in New Zealand, they are mostly in the bushes when the rare bird is lucky and only visible on Milford (glacial) road. So this less than began to render our group's happiness index only a short road, suddenly less than the bus parked on the left side of the road, and shouted that you are so blessed! Look: A large flock of sheep ran in the distance of the highway and saw the whole national road being occupied by this group of creatures. The position was still tense, but it was a little "slightly excited". The flock that ran near under the leadership of the head sheep saw people and the cameras holding up and timidly slowed down. On the right side, this is a rare encounter with the rare "herd transfer" just learned "antelope" immediately hit the "transfer sheep", which is also like a special arrangement in New Zealand heaven in the self-reserved land, like the "RP" of sheep short tails (New Zealand young sheep to avoid infection and inflammation, cut off their tails), And have cut the wool "I am afraid of you", a column, the sheepdogs in the group of tails driving the "de-teamers" (this transfer battle is a bit big, there are three sheepdogs in the car) left our group of lively people, the sheep all over the state road continued to move forward, I was worried about whether they would encounter two antelopes at the tunnel entrance, and I was in the same mood as flowers when I returned to Queenstown to embark on the famous "road to heaven."
