    # Driving overseas team around New Zealand The Moeraki Boulders in New Zealand are known as the "mysterious stone balls" and remain an unsolved mystery. The diameters of these huge stone balls range from 0.5 meters to more than two meters, and the weight reaches several tons. Moeraki Beach is therefore known as "one of the most magical beaches in the world", "one of the top ten mysterious places in the world" and "the mysterious place in the geological world".

    Wanaka Lake is the fourth largest lake in New Zealand. It is the location of the popular tourist attraction, a lonely tree, about 70km northwest of the destination, Queenstown. The tree in my mind should look like Figure 5, but in the season without rain, "loneliness" can be so close to us [snickering]. It was dusk when we arrived in Queenstown. ​

    The water of Lake Wakatipu is particularly blue! The entire scenic area is completely free. You can take a walk by the lake. There are flowers in spring and leaves in autumn. You can play water sports in summer and enjoy the snow in winter. It is especially suitable for tourism all year round, each with its own beauty! 🌹 Although the lakeside town of Queenstown has only 10,000 or 20,000 people, it is crowded with tourists! There are delicacies from all over the world here, so you don’t have to worry about not getting used to them. 😊👍

    The Dart River is a very calm and beautiful river in Glenorchy. On both sides of the river are towering mountains and dense forests. The river water is very clear and there are many rare fish living here. You can take a raft or bamboo raft to tour the entire river, which must be a very good travel experience.
