Now that I'm back from the ordeal in New Zealand, I've finally figured out how to dress. 🥲You're 5 degrees tanned, so listen to my sound advice! Really don’t bring fancy clothes; you won’t be able to wear them and they take up space in your suitcase. We picked a few but fine clothes, which is enough for taking photos and playing! - 👚Summary of dressing formula ✅Warm clothing: 1-2 pieces. The temperature in New Zealand varies greatly. It may be around 10 degrees at night, which is still a bit cold. It is recommended to bring a jacket or a thick coat. ✅Sun protection clothing: UV rays are definitely not a joke, sunglasses + hat + sun protection mask + sun protection clothing + ice sleeves + sunscreen must be sufficient! You can take it off when taking pictures, and be fully armed the rest of the time ✅Outfit for the photo: 3 skirts. Try to choose solid colors, don’t be too fancy. The lakes in New Zealand are mainly skirts, and the high saturation looks great in photos by the lake! The mountains are perfect for a long black dress! It feels like a blockbuster movie! - 👗Suggestions for dressing at the filming location: 1. Queenstown is simply a paradise of beautiful scenery. Elegant, retro and fashionable clothes are perfect there. But don't forget to prepare a jacket, the weather there is changeable and the temperature is low! 2. When you go to Milford Sound, you must wear a black or dark blue long skirt. When the wind blows at the bow of the boat, you will look like the goddess of the fjord, so beautiful! 3. In Lake Tekapo, you can wear a windbreaker with casual pants, sneakers and a baseball cap in the morning, and wear a small skirt at noon. The ultraviolet rays by the lake are strong, so you must take sunscreen! 4. Go to the vast grasslands of Glenorchy and wear a light blue skirt to enjoy the magnificence of the grasslands. - Also add some small items that are easy to forget to bring‼ ️ 💄Lip balm is a must, the air there is relatively dry, and I have cheilitis which makes it more prone to chapped lips. 🧴Body sunscreen + face sunscreen, prepare 2 extra bottles, apply every two hours and don’t feel tired! Don't use sunscreen spray, it's not effective Bring moisturizing lotion and facial mask with you, and apply them once before going to bed at night to help repair the skin after sun exposure. 👒It’s best to have 2 sun hats! Wear a soft hat when touring, and wear a hard hat when it is windy or when taking public transportation in scenic spots. 😷Sunscreen mask: This one is hollow at the bottom. Although it looks big, it is actually very breathable. 🕶Sunglasses-a must-have for taking photos! It can modify the face shape very well, give a sense of luxury, and protect against direct sunlight 🍬 Most of the trip is spent in the car, so it is necessary for greedy sisters to prepare some snacks in advance to eat in the car - Pay attention❗️If you are traveling in a group like me, this is enough. Also, attractions in New Zealand are far apart and some even take 3-4 hours to drive to, so plan your itinerary before departure! If you don’t drive, just hold a group! Choose a semi-free tour from a local regular travel agency, and you won’t feel tired even if you lie down on the bus and play for a whole day~

#NaturalLandscape #100WaysToTravel Glenorchy, a 40-50 minute drive from Queenstown, is the northernmost village of Lake Wakatipu. Surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing a tidal lake, it is the filming location for the movie #LordoftheRings. It has a secluded and desolate beauty and is known as the #closestplacetoheaven. Glenorchy Wharf is a pier on a wooden boardwalk with a standing lamp hanging at the end, which creates a special atmosphere for taking photos. The beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains and the beauty and tranquility of nature are all in your eyes. There are many check-in spots around the lake, such as the Glenorchy tree, a row of bare willow trees standing in the lake, and the eye-catching red cottage. I heard that if you visit in autumn, you can enjoy the golden, bleak and withered scenery, which is very special. In fact, the purpose of coming to New Zealand is to relax and daydream, without any purpose. Just sitting by the lake and looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance is also a kind of relaxation and joy. #NewZealandFreeTravel #NewZealandSouthIsland #glenorchy

#summervacay You're right, Glenorchy is simply adorable! This charming spot, famous for its connections to The Lord of the Rings, is just a 45-minute drive from Queenstown. We headed straight for the iconic Red Shed (Glenorchy Wharf), and it's definitely a highlight. Both sides of the red shed offer great views: To the left: There's a bridge where you can watch jet skis or boats out on the water. To the right: You get those breathtaking, expansive views of the mountains and the sea. It's absolutely a worthwhile spot to stop, relax, and soak in the incredible scenery. However, there's probably no need to stay overnight unless you're in a campervan, as you can take in most of the main sights within an hour. Important Tip for the Drive! 🚗 There are sections of the road from Queenstown to Glenorchy where you'll lose phone signal, so make sure to download your maps in advance! My main memory of the drive is just how stunning the scenery was all the way there – majestic mountains and vast lakes everywhere you look. It's truly beautiful! #NewZealand #Glenorchy

#summervacay Finally getting around to sharing my Glenorchy horse riding experience – my procrastination finally gave way! 😂 There are two main stables in Glenorchy: Lighthorse Adventures: Adults $249 / Children $229 High Country Horses: Adults $250 / Children $240 You'll need to book your specific time in advance via their official websites. I personally went with the first one, Lighthorse Adventures. I noticed now there's only a $1 difference between the two prices. Last year, when I was checking (in spring), I remember there being a difference of tens of dollars, haha! Remember to arrive early and check in at the counter. The staff will then guide you to try on shoes and helmets. If it's cold or raining in winter, they'll also provide jackets. When I went, it was early summer, so it was quite hot! I wore long pants and sun-protective clothing to avoid sunburn, but if you're not afraid of the sun, short sleeves would be fine. It's a fantastic way to experience the stunning landscapes of Glenorchy! #Glenorchy #NewZealand #HorseRiding #LighthorseAdventures #HighCountryHorses #SouthIsland #AdventureTravel #Queenstown #TravelNZ #HorsebackRiding #NatureEscape 🇳🇿🐎

This trip to New Zealand was very impressive, including Luckland, Christchurch, and Queenstown.

#Traveling Abroad Strategy Enjoy Queenstown, a popular tourist destination on the South Island, for 3 nights and 4 days! After arriving in the morning on a domestic flight from Auckland, head to the "mi-pad Queenstown Hotel" located in the center. This modern hotel allows smart check-in and is conveniently located right in front of the hotel. For lunch, head straight to the famous "Fergburger", a must-try restaurant. You will be overwhelmed by the juicy giant burger, and you can also enjoy the local atmosphere. In the afternoon, head to "Arrowtown", which is full of history. The contrast between the stone townscape and the autumn leaves is magnificent, and time flows leisurely. On the second day, join a local tour of Milford Sound from early in the morning. A day of cruising through the natural surroundings surrounded by fjords and being overwhelmed by waterfalls and wildlife. You can rest assured with hotel pick-up and drop-off. On the third day, go to "Glenorchy", famous for being the location for the Lord of the Rings. The scenery of the lake and mountains is like a painting, and you feel as if you are in a story. In the afternoon, you return to the center of Queenstown, and during your free time, you can take a stroll along the lakeside while enjoying gelato at "Patagonia Chocolates" or "Mrs Ferg Gelateria". It is a luxurious time that will soothe your travel fatigue. On the last day, check out early in the morning and head to another town. It was a well-balanced trip where you could enjoy nature, movie locations, and delicious food all in 3 nights and 4 days. The combination of local tours and gourmet food makes your Queenstown trip safe and satisfying even for first-timers! #QueenstownTrip #3Nights4DaysModelItinerary #Fergburger #MilfordSound #Glenorchy #LordOfTheRingsFilmingLocation #Arrowtown #NewZealandAmazingView #QueenstownGourmet

｜Itinerary｜ Drive from Queenstown to Glenorchy (it is recommended to reserve time for taking photos on the way), join the horseback riding experience at the local horse farm before noon (it is recommended to make an appointment in advance), walk along the lake near the pier in the afternoon, enjoy the Glenorchy Wharf and the surrounding mountain scenery, and return to Queenstown later in the evening, just in time to capture the sunset on the road ｜Transportation｜ It takes about 45 minutes to drive from Queenstown. The scenery along the way is magnificent. It is one of the most classic lakeside roads in the South Island. There is no public transportation. It is recommended to rent a car or take a one-day tour (including transportation and horse riding experience) ｜Recommendation reason｜ Glenorchy, the legendary filming location of The Lord of the Rings, is known as "the town closest to heaven". The scenery along Lake Wakatipu from Queenstown is so beautiful that it seems unreal. The horseback riding experience here allows you to walk into a movie scene in person. With the vast river bank and surrounded by mountains, everything is so quiet that it seems as if time has stood still. When you ride on horseback, it feels like an exploration mission outside the wall in Attack on Titan, and every step is like entering a fairy tale world. Suitable for travelers who want to get away from the crowds and experience the charm of nature at a slow pace. #AprilGoodDestinations2025

Be aware. The name "Paradise" is pretty overestimated. The surface is very rough, and you will be super worried about the tires of your rent car. In spite of that, it is a still valuable place to drive with enjoying the scenery of the countryside in New Zealand. Especially the Glenorchy wharf is a must visit place.

We thought we were prepared, but nature proved us wrong. The Earnslaw Burn Track in the Glenorchy area of Otago is a challenging tramping track that takes you through bush to a stunning viewpoint with views of an icefall on Mt Earnslaw. The 25km return trek requires river crossings, route-finding skills, and extreme caution in severe weather—something we learned the hard way. What should have been a long but manageable hike turned into an 8-hour battle against slippery trails and freezing conditions. Every step felt risky, and exhaustion set in fast. By nightfall, the temperature had dropped below zero, and the snow-covered ground offered no warmth. Sleep was nearly impossible, but somehow, between shivering and laughing at our situation, we made it through. Morning light revealed an incredible winter landscape—pristine snow, towering icefalls, and untouched wilderness. Unfortunately, reaching the official viewpoint was too dangerous, so we had to turn back, but surviving the night was victory enough.🥶 Would I Do It Again?....Not in winter! No matter how strong you think you are, it’s dangerous. But despite the struggle, it was an unforgettable experience—torture yet fun. Next time, I’ll be back in summer when the trail is safer and just as stunning!✨️🤩 #travel #thingstodo #naturalwonders #newzealand #hiking

Arthur's Pass requires snow chains in winter, confirm with the rental company. Get to Wanaka early for photos, it gets crowded after 9 AM. Be eco-friendly!

You can see the super beautiful Mount Bonpland snow-capped mountains and Lake Wakatipu along the way. 📍Hiking in Glenorchy: Check in at the iconic red house.
