Avon River should not to be missed. we will be carried by a punter dressed in traditional Edwardian attire! You will be slowly be brought along the water quietly past woodlands, weeping willows with the leafy banks of North Hagley Park along side the Christchurch Botanic Gardens. You can also take a Punt ride from Worcester Street Bridge through Christchurch’s central city.

The weather in Mount Cook is very good, but at that time, I booked a snow plane. The helicopter return activity was cancelled due to the poor weather on the mountain. It was a pity for two consecutive days. I drove from the Tweizer base to the airport under the snow mountain to ask and wait. By the way, I took the shortest walking route and the scenery was not bad.

The trip to New Zealand must be attended by Cook Mountain climbing. The mountains here are not melting all year round. The weather is very good. I climbed the hottest trail for about 3 hours. The scenery along the road is really beautiful. There is nothing to say.

旅の径
The main road between Christchurch and Greymouth on the west coast of New Zealand's South Island attracts many tourists to this tour. The snowy mountains, the flowing waterfalls, the clear lakes, the magnificent glaciers, especially the diversified mountaineering trails and meticulous travel services, have been favored by many mountaineers. For most tourists traveling around the South Island, if Christchurch is the starting point, you can take Arthur Pass as the first stop and appetizer; if Christchurch is the end point, you must have been visually tired to see Arthur Pass.

The first time I saw sea lions gather at such a close distance. There are a lot of sea lions, just on the trail, generally requiring humans and sea lions to maintain a two-meter safe distance, still very lazy, lying on the rock, a little cute, a little taste.

The timing of our trip was great, the suspension bridge that must pass the road was closed for maintenance the next day, and the tourists in the hotel who were suddenly cancelled were sent back by the bus.

Lakes
旅の径
New Zealand has many lakes, mostly surrounded by mountains, winding shorelines, clear lakes and pleasant scenery. It is a great tourist attraction. Located in the middle of the South Island, Lake Pukaki is unique and worth a visit. One is that the lake is rich in rock particles and minerals, and under the sun, it maps out a distinctive blue, dreamy and attractive, and has the reputation of "blue milk lake". The other is that the lakeside is the best position to overlook the Cook Mountains. On the sunny day, standing on the south Alps of the north bank of Pukaki, 55 kilometers away, is clearly visible. The highest mountain is Mount Cook. The third is the lifelike statue of Tar sheep. Tar sheep native to the Himalayas, live between high mountain cliffs, are a first-level protected animal in China, and are listed in the world as a "near-risk" animal list. In 1904, an Englishman brought five Tar sheep to the South Island, because there was no natural enemy, Tar sheep flourished in the Cook Mountains, becoming the favorite animal for European and American hunters to hunt in New Zealand. In 2014, the handsome and powerful statue of Tar sheep was erected on the shore of Lake Pukaki to commemorate the achievements of the people concerned in protecting the sheep worldwide. Taking a photo with the statue is the best choice for all tourists. Fourth, the shore of Pukaji Hunan, opened the Cook Mountain salmon farm, the salmon meat produced is compact and fresh, cheap and good quality, many food lovers come to taste and buy.

Everyone calls it Stonehenge, a must-see spot between Christchurch and Hokitica, where the King of the Rings is photographed. So many big stones seem to fall from the sky. Standing here profoundly, I feel a strong sense of disobedience.
