What People Are Saying About Nelson

Write a Review

Centre of New Zealand

关裕年guanyunian
What a country, exaggerated to say that a country with a very clean natural environment. People often joke that our rainwater in New Zealand, after testing is pure water, how amazing. So in New Zealand you can't buy pure water to drink, because, if you want to drink, just when it rains, look up, open your mouth, and drink!

Queen's Gardens

This is a garden I have never seen before. The special exhibition is wonderful. These trees and flowers are gorgeous scenery. Many shaded places in the high temperature make this place beautiful.

Tahunanui Beach

The coastline is very long and almost unmanned beach. The quality of the sand is average, not as fine and soft as Australia, and there are many reefs. Due to the geographical location, it is good to watch the sunset here!

Miyazu Japanese Garden

This is a Japanese-style garden with a lot of Japanese cultural experience, and then you can learn some courses, personally feel that it is not worth it, because it is expensive.
