A very interesting experience, the little penguin swaggered through the corridor in front of the grass, walking back to the nest is very interesting, the wind is a bit cold at night, pay attention to mosquitoes, sometimes the little penguin will drill into the bottom of the car, but I didn't see it,

Moeraki Boulders Moraki Big Pebble, located on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island, is a naturally formed geological landscape. The attractions are free to tourists from all over the world. It is easy to find the scenic spots by following the navigation along the road. Park the car in the parking lot at the door, follow the road sign and go to the beach. After a boardwalk, you can see the big boulders in the distance. The beach in the public area is also very clean. You can take off your shoes while driving the sea and enjoying the magic products from nature. The climate was not very good that day, the thick clouds blocked the sun, and the photo imaging was not very good~~~~~~ It is recommended to reach the scenic spot in the sunset (about 17:00 local time). When the seawater recedes, about 50 giant boulders will completely reveal the sea. Kindly known as the "dinosaur egg". The legend of the Moreki boulders, more than a thousand years ago, a sailing warship, Araeteuru, sank on the shore, and the melons and fruits rolled from the cabin floated here. Specialized scientists believe that the boulder formed about 65 million years ago, slowly formed by the crystallized seabed sedimentary mud, and landed here through the motion of the seabed crust. No matter which version, it is a gift from nature, whether it is a round and smooth stone body formed by seawater and sand all year round, or cracking or even breaking due to natural weathering, it is a magical sight, as the New Zealand government calls for the Environmental Protection Act. Similarly, it is not allowed to suffer artificial and intentional damage, otherwise it will face a high fine or even imprisonment! There are many well-growing flowers and plants on the return road, a shopping point, and a shoe-shine board brush. The scenic spot management is very user-friendly!

The relatively large city on New Zealand's South Island, second only to Christchurch, in the evening we bought tickets to go up the mountain and wait for the little blue penguins to land from the sea and return to their accommodation under the sight of many spectators. It gave us a big surprise. The weather was cold and the wind and rain were mixed.

Because this lake is formed by volcanic eruptions, there are also very rich geothermal resources here. There are many hot springs here. Middle-aged are smog. You can enjoy the warmth and efficacy of these hot springs here. It is very comfortable. Definitely worth experiencing.

Lakes

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.

The second time I went, it was beautiful but a bit sad castle! Details can search for the history of the castle! It was a pity that it rained when I went, but it can be a sad and beautiful style of the castle! The scenery is beautiful!
