New Zealand is a country that has been on the list of targets for a long time, Mr. Le Thanh Cong (30 years old, Ho Chi Minh City) has finally set foot in the dream land.
The day he realized his dream, all the emotions were so suppressed that they burst into tears in the summer of the Atlantic.
Enjoy poetic beauty
Queenstown is the first place Mr. Thanh Cong has set foot on the island of New Zealand. That place brings together the best of the land of kiwi including lakes, mountains, and ice.
Although the small town welcomed a huge number of visitors, Queenstown in the minds of the Vietnamese male tourist was not bustling or crowded.
I feel peaceful here. Tourists coming here all leisurely enjoy the beauty of this Queen Town. I spent 4 days on the trip to explore the town and other places, said Mr. Cong.
Surrounding Queenstown town is Wakatipu - the largest lake in the South Island of New Zealand. The water source in the lake comes from the confluence of rivers and ice. Located by the shallow lake, the remarkable mountain plain is towering, creating a beautiful and surreal natural picture.
Queenstown offers many outdoor activities for visitors to choose from and explore the town. Mr. Thanh Cong and his friend chose the Ben Lomond trekking route so that from Bob's Peak they can see the whole town. In addition, he also parachuted from the top of Coronet, with a ticket price of 320 NZD (more than 5 million VND), to admire Queenstown from above. He spent 90 minutes traveling by high-speed train on the Shotover River for a ticket price of 175 NZD (equivalent to 2.8 million VND) to experience the feeling of jostling in the fast-flowing river, with steep cliffs on both sides.
Another beautiful town of the impressive South Chinaese island is Lake Tekapo. As the name associated with a lake, the town is famous for its characteristically turquoise lake Tekapo, created from melted ice and minerals in the mountain. Reservoir
Mr. Cong was constantly amazed: "The landscape around the lake is beautiful, with rows of mountains covered in white snow and especially brilliant lupin flower fields. The highlight next to the lake is definitely the ancient stone church of Good Shepherd - one of the symbols of this town.
According to the male tourist's suggestion, Tekapo Lake belongs to the International Night Sky Reserve, where there is a clear night sky and little light pollution; therefore, this is an ideal place to watch and take astronomical photos, especially if you can take beautiful Galaxy and aurora strips.
In addition to the beautiful towns in the South Island, Mr. Cong can't forget Milford Sound, a famous narrow bay located in the Te Wahipounamu area and known as the "8th wonder" of New Zealand.
The Vietnamese male tourist gave the beauty of this place when introducing it as a narrow bay carved by ice and ice, embracing the steep, majestic rocky cliffs that rise to the blue sky, then gently released himself into the blue waters of the Tasman Sea.
Driving from Queenstown, the 290km journey takes more than 4 hours. In return, visitors will certainly feel secure when crossing the winding mountain passes, leisurely admiring the lush green fields and the quiet lakes like a mirror.
fairy tale dream
When recalling his trip to New Zealand, Mr. Cong smiled because the cherished memories were like a fairy tale dream when he directly admired the beautiful scenery as if printed from the pages of books.
He expressed: In New Zealand, everything was extremely smooth, my trip went very smoothly. Everything you need when coming to this country, just a phone with a connection, full battery and renting a car to easily explore everywhere.
99% of all services in the "land of kiwi" can be paid by card, so you do not need to bring too much cash. Not to mention, this country is extremely safe, so you should go out carefree, not worry about stealing or hooking up your bags".
The people here are very friendly and civilized to Mr. Cong. A friend who accompanied him had a luggage problem and was then enthusiastically supported by an airport employee in Queenstown.
"You even blamed my friend for being loved by you like a mother blaming her young child for always being careful. She supported us wholeheartedly, and the next day the luggage was transferred to the place we rented, said Mr. Cong.
However, the cost of living in New Zealand is very expensive, so to save for the trip, Mr. Cong's group decided to buy ingredients and cook at home. However, the male tourist revealed that beef, Lamb, milk and moderate fruits are cheaper than in Vietnam.
This trip left many unforgettable impressions in Mr. Cong's memory: Admiring the natural scenery of one of the most beautiful countries in the world, enjoying the fresh air of one of the most livable countries in the world...
