Hot Water Beach

小鱼儿2015
Hot water beach is a good place to relax. You can see a lot of seaside landscapes in this round. I like to go here when the tide is low. You can find some small animals. The sea is very warm in summer. [View] The scenery here is beautiful [Fun] Good type

Te Whanganui-A-Hei (Cathedral Cove) Marine Reserve

Hahei and Cathedral Bay are places that are worth visiting in Coromandel. The bay here is very long, and there are many reefs protruding from the sea on the beach. They are of various shapes and sizes, giving people endless imagination. There are not many tourists here, so it is a great place to take pictures.

Hobbiton™ Movie Set

The Hobbit Village is really like entering the fairy tale world. The cabin is hidden in the green slope. The round doors, chimneys and details are all super exquisite, as if the Hobbit will push the door out at any time. During the guide, you can hear many behind-the-scenes stories, and you can shoot a blockbuster feeling everywhere. I love sitting down at the Green Dragon Tavern for a drink and that moment feels like I really have become a part of the movie.

Spectacular view of the city skyline of the whole Auckland city, amazing experience of strolling as if in the sky, great place for taking photos and creating unforgettable memories.

Take a tractor tour of Rotorua's Royal Ranch, enjoy yourself. See a variety of cows, sheep, red deer and wild boars and other stocking animals, and experience the unique pasture life of New Zealand. Among them, intimacy interaction with Mianyang, alpaca, etc., their cute and clingy look, push the joy of travel to the climax wow.

Cathedral Cove Kayak Tours

New Zealand has a long coastline, and kayaking in the sea is more risky than in a river or lake, but this is in line with the national identity of New Zealanders seeking excitement.
