Night view

西沙群岛司马亮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!

󱔒Natural scenery

pxy0705Motorola's Blue Spring is definitely a breathtakingly beautiful place. There is a winding spring here that is sky blue and very clear. The water plants under the spring float with the flow of the stream, as if you have come to a fairyland. It is really intoxicating.

Farms and pastures

M35***05It is definitely worth a visit. The farm show of wool shearing is quite interesting. After the show, the sheep on the stage will not leave. The audience can go up and take pictures and touch them at will (some sheep even had their heads rubbed bald lol). The farm tour at the back is led by a foreign guy who drives a tractor. He is very friendly and gives you a lot of feed to feed the sheep and alpacas. It is really fun to get close to the sheep and alpacas.

4. Bag End

This charming country house is the inspiration for the famous writer J.R.R. Tolkien. It is located on a green hillside in the town of Wagge Wagge, surrounded by tranquil farmland. The stone walls are covered with green grass, and the arched gate exudes an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

小思文Mata Town is also a wonderful place. When you come here, you can see the architectural style of ancient Europe. This town has many retro buildings and a fusion of natural styles. It is also a place suitable for taking pictures of many classical film and television dramas.

Cable car

twinsxI visited it twice within two months. The buffet is good, the scenery is great, the luge is fun, and it is a must-visit place for parent-child travel. It is best to avoid holidays, otherwise be prepared. The queue for the slide is about an hour.

Natural scenery

iQOO🐮The experience of the Waitomo Firefly Cave was amazing. As soon as you entered the cave, it was dark and quiet, and only the fireflies above you flickered like stars. Sitting on a boat, glide up and look up at the blue-green spots, as if floating in the galaxy. The whole process was quiet, no explanation, no noise, only the sound of water and light and shadow, making people completely immersed in the dreamy atmosphere. Short but unforgettable.
