Middle-earth, a pure land beyond the world.

From the small village of Glenorchy , drive for more than ten kilometers to reach the "Heavenly Town". Within a few miles, there is no human shadow to be seen, so why is it called a town? In fact, this is a private paradise-like pasture, where only cows and sheep leisurely graze. The people here live a life like hobbits, and it can be called a 200% pure natural place. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, primitive lakes and rivers flow underfoot, and there are ancient mountain birch forests. Everything you see is such a beautiful and picturesque natural landscape. You can say that this is a pure land on earth, or you can say it is a Middle-earth, any expression is not excessive. Because of this, several blockbuster movies have been filmed here, such as the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit, and so on. The tour guide is thoughtful and brings props from the movies, allowing tourists to enjoy the pleasure of taking photos in Hollywood blockbusters and having afternoon tea in a beautiful environment, how romantic. Although the journey is only 4 and a half hours, it left me with an unforgettable experience in my life journey!
