New Zealand Self-guided Travel Guide Self-guided travel is currently a relatively fashionable sport among young people, but for those who are new to the country and don’t know much about foreign conditions, there will be certain risks and unnecessary twists and turns. If you happen to be traveling to New Zealand alone, this article may be of some help to you.

1. Large car rental companies for self-driving tours in New Zealand have service counters at New Zealand airports and tourist bus stations. Depending on the car model, the cost is generally 20 to 60 yuan/day. Tourists over 21 years old can rent a car. When renting a car, they should show their personal documents and passport and fill out a form. Visitors holding a US, Canadian, UK and Australian driving license can drive in the New West for 12 months.

2. Travel in New Zealand by coach. New Zealand's largest coach company is International City, which runs from Kaitaia to the north and Invercar to the south. Intercity long-distance travel routes connect 1,100 cities and towns. During the trip, the car stops at many interesting places for passengers to enjoy. Taking Inter City's luxury bus to tour the charming scenery of New Zealand is very attractive to anyone who travels independently, and you can visit attractions along the way without buying a ticket, which is valid for 3 months. I just came back from New Zealand on a 10-day self-guided tour of New Zealand. The tour departed on 10/9 and returned to Shanghai on 10/21.

The following is the specific timetable: 2pm on 10/9, flight arrives at Shanghai-Auckland at 7am on 10/10, Auckland day trip at 7am on 10/12, Auckland-Wellington train at 8pm 20 Arrives on 10/10 morning ferry Wellington-Picton arrives at 11:30 pm, Picton-Christchurch train arrives at 6:30 pm, Christchurch day trip arrives on 10/14. Pick up the car at 10/15am and go on a road trip at Lake TEKAPO (286km) on the way from Christchurch to TWIZEL. On October 16, TARRAS rested on the way from TWIZEL-MT COOK-QUEENSTOWN (320km).

One-day trip to Queenstown on October 17th, drive to Remarkables Mountain in the morning (only 15KM to the ski resort, I did not continue driving because of the snow. Otherwise, you need to add anti-skid chains to the tires) Luyuan Highland Ranch ( Part of the filming location of The Lord of the Rings 2) 20$/car, if you pick them up at the hotel, 75$/person (including tour guide). Take photos of the scenery on the ferry and return to the hotel to rest. It was too late to go to the Kiwi Park in the afternoon. As a result, I didn't have time to watch the Maori performance. Unfortunately, I gave us a discount on the ticket price. I spent an average of $75 per person eating at the BOARDWAY restaurant (above the ferry terminal). Two and a half soups of crayfish with seafood platter (smaller than lobsters, their name is crayfish) The hot air balloon scheduled on 10/18 was canceled due to strong winds, so I drove north to the town of Glenorchy.

After lunch, I walked north and saw a small town called Paradise on the map. There is a Lord of the Rings attraction nearby and I want to visit it. But the road was halfway blocked by a creek, about 10 centimeters deep, so I didn't take the risk because I was driving a rental car. But it's a pity that the scenery nearby is good. After looking at the map, it’s only 1/3 of the way, so I’ll rent a four-wheel drive in the future. On October 19th, I returned the rental car and flew back to Auckland. I returned to Shanghai at 11pm on October 20th, and the air tickets for two people were RMB 18,000 per ticket. Some train tickets, Auckland-Christchurch, including ferry fare, total £275.

0 NZD/hotel per capita: Wellington Mulgrave Hotel (Aitken on mul grave Hotel Wellington) US$73/night (I only stayed for one night, but I didn’t feel much. At night, the front desk was closed. At night, I had to call the staff on duty when I checked in and put the keys in the mailbox when I checked out in the morning

The kitchen was fully equipped with a washing machine) Arena Hotel Auckland $63/night (many front desks are Chinese, but. The sound insulation is so poor that it affects your rest at night) Oaks Smart Stay Apartment on Cash El Christ Church US$100/night (newly opened hotel, very clean, very close to the square, but the CHCH urban area is really small, it doesn’t take long to walk . ) Mountain hut Twizel 121 NZD/night (villa-style house with complete facilities and very convenient for self-catering. Twizel is a small town. After looking at their guide map, there are many good ones around this town. Attractions, but the schedule is too tight to go there.

) Queenstown Golden Ridge Hotel 158 New Zealand dollars/night (Lugao is about 2KM from the town, accommodation: 5213rmb Train: 1540rmb Car rental: 1456rmb including GPS and insurance. The modern TS car is a 1.4-displacement 4-seater car similar to the domestic 206, c 2. I felt lack of motivation when going uphill. New Zealand Travel Experience: The ferry train from Wellington to Christchurch is beautiful and worth the trip.

The train from Auckland to Wellington takes a long time and is tiring. There are many good towns in New Zealand. In fact, they are no worse than tourist attractions like Queenstown, and the prices are much cheaper. Many hotels in New Zealand are not much more expensive than ordinary ones, unlike hotels in our scenic spots. It’s twice as expensive as the bus. A five-dollar sandwich costs six or seven dollars. Try to rent a hotel with a kitchen so you can go to the supermarket to buy something and cook it yourself. Foreign restaurants are relatively simple. There was only one soup with toast on the previous day. We were basically half full after eating the soup. I suggest you stay in the South Island for a few more days. It would be better if you can travel by car.

The cost of fuel in New Zealand. It is around 1.55-1.69 (depending on the international oil price and the region) which is very cheap compared to their income. It costs 200 yuan to refuel in Shanghai. The regret of this trip is that I have too little time. Stay for 5 or 6 days and you can see almost all the places I want to go. If you particularly want to go to Milford Sound, you can only save the opportunity for next time. October is spring in New Zealand and there is more rain. , it rained half of the days. But the advantage is that there are fewer people in the off-season:) The sockets in New Zealand are mainly 3-pin, so I went to Dick Smith (an electrical appliance store) and bought a converter for 15 yuan. Not worth it. My daily schedule is very full. I don’t think it’s necessary to schedule a full schedule.

Too tired. So all the driving routes I arranged did not exceed 400KM. I feel like driving in New Zealand is a way to enjoy the 2,300 kilometers a day without feeling tired. Not a single car can be seen within 1 or 2 kilometers before and after. There are grasslands on both sides and snow-capped mountains in the distance, which makes me feel like an outdoor peach blossom garden. There is no hustle and bustle in the city, it is a journey to purify the soul.

Driving precautions: 1. Right-hand vehicles have priority: the left-turn lane allows vehicles in the main lane to pass first. New Zealand drivers are not as impatient as us and wait until they can no longer see the cars far away on the main road before turning. When driving around the road, be sure to let right-turning vehicles pass first. 2. Speed ​​limit highway: 100KM City: 50KM, indicate special sections.

3. Pedestrian priority: Foreign pedestrians are the largest. Unlike us, pedestrians have to turn when there is a green light. There are no traffic lights near many sidewalks, so be careful to give way to pedestrians.

4. Some routes cannot be used by rental vehicles, so please pay attention to the map (but there are very few such sections).

5. New Zealand’s gas stations have convenience stores, which are basically self-service. After setting the added amount, go to the convenience store to check out and quote the added amount.

6. Return the car: usually go to the airport. Just pay attention to your rental car company's signs in the parking lot and park there. Then someone will come to collect car keys and other things. (I'm worried that if someone pretends to be a company employee, they will get a car.) Preparation for the trip to New Zealand on the 18th: Just to prepare for this trip, I spent a lot of money and bought a 70L large bag, which cost more than 900 hi

On June 29, I got up at 5 o’clock in Beijing and Hong Kong. In fact, there are not many things, just a big bag and a small bag, which also contain many things for others, such as cigarettes and medicine. I'm still worried about what to do after passing customs. We set off at 5:45. When we arrived at the airport, we found that we had arrived too early and there were very few people. We were the first so we could go a little later in the morning. When I first went abroad, I wasn't as excited as before. It doesn't matter. Haha, the wait for the plane has been long enough. Cathay Pacific feels good. It was the world's best airline in 2005. Don't know if it's true or not. An experience, it will be much easier to stretch your legs if you get a seat in the emergency exit row on long-distance flights in the future.

This is how it goes from Beijing to Hong Kong. Very comfortable. Hong Kong Airport is completely on the sea, which is quite interesting. And the convenience of shopping in Hong Kong can be seen from the airport. Just visiting this airport makes us want to go shopping a little bit. After eating the burger, my wife didn't like it. Haha, I can try other flavors in the future. It is said that some are pretty good. Play cards when you are bored! First you are killed from all sides, then the wind direction changes and you are killed from all sides. Hong Kong-Auckland-Christchurch Cathay Pacific provided good service and constant food. The point is this movie is good. I saw a great movie, especially El Chapo, which was really great.

When I was supposed to be the sleepiest, I laughed while watching a movie, so I arrived in Auckland without knowing anything and not sleeping well. The departure time is a bit tight, and the transit time is only one hour. However, the entry approval process is not as strict as imagined. It may be mainly to prevent drugs and live animals. It was windy and rainy outside, so I quickly put on my clothes and went to the Qantas domestic terminal. At first I felt the beauty of New Zealand and the good air. The international and domestic aspects of Auckland Airport are different. There are buses in between, which is worth noting. When we arrived in Christchurch, things were simple. My classmate Liu Zhao picked us up at a small airport. Haha, once I gave him his things (including a pair of ugly Jordan shoes), my bag became much lighter.

Then after a while, my sister’s flight from Palmerston North also arrived, and the four of us happily took a taxi to the city. Liu Zhao decided on the motel the day before. Aotea Motel is okay, it's low season now, for the price of one room, we stayed in two rooms, which was not bad. It's a bit cold, but it's okay with a heater. The boss is British and I really don't understand his accent. Fortunately, there is Liu Zhao. Before noon, we took a shower and Liu Zhaozuo’s bacon was pretty good. That's my favorite in Western food, haha! Let's go. Walk along the River Avon to the city centre. There are old people feeding ducks and seabirds on the road, and they are not afraid of people. It’s really natural and harmonious! Since I come from a country where there are more people than birds, of course, I was quick to take photos.

Although it is winter, most of it is still green and the weather is very good. It is said that the average temperature in winter is 10 degrees, which is very comfortable during the day. However, after the sun goes down, the temperature drops quickly. Be careful! Victoria Park, church in the city center. In the afternoon, I mainly consulted on travel plans at i-site (a chain of travel service agencies in New Zealand that is found almost everywhere). The service is great and always welcoming. None of the three of us can do it. The lady was so excited that she immediately booked a trip for a few days. Christchurch - Queenstown - Milford Sound - Queenstown - Franz Josef Glacier - Gray Mouth - Transcendence - Dear Christchurch, the South Island is almost completely settled. I was a little dizzy at the time.

After all, I just arrived, haven’t slept, and have jet lag. Later I remembered that this trip was too tight, especially when we arrived at the glacier and had to stay for one day. I should pay attention next time. In the evening, we went to eat snacks from a high-end restaurant recommended by i-site. It tastes good! When I first got here, Liu Zhao invited us to eat Korean food. I did eat a lot and drank many bowls of spicy cabbage soup. The adult LP seemed to have an appetite, he was tired after all. July 1st, Christchurch Wandering around Christchurch today. The four of them took the tram with two tickets, visited the church, and visited the museum. Liu Zhao and I are very lucky. We took random photos in the church and no one cared about us. As a result, my sister and LP were charged money when they went in to take photos. Haha, one of them

There is also a botanical garden, which is really good. They are all old trees and have been registered. The overall impression is that it is tall and strange. When a black swan sees you walking by, it will swim right over, my dear. But what I saw this time was a gentler one, and there will be embarrassing revelations later. Hey, wait! At the corner of their bar street, they had some snacks, rested their feet, went shopping in the New World in the evening, cooked for themselves, and made sandwiches for lunch the next day. One main meal here is quite expensive, and there are two. Our itinerary is basically in the car at noon, so it is better to bring food! Although Christchurch is said to be the second or third largest city in New Zealand , but the urban area is actually very small.

Except for Auckland, other cities in New Zealand are like this, smaller than you think! July 2, Christchurch-Lake Tekapo-Mount Cook-Queenstown. Starting today, I got up at 6 o'clock for many days in a row, miserable! However, once again, when I walked out of the motel, Newman's bus was picking people up. Because Newmans is the same company as the intercity we booked, and they are at the same bus station, so I asked Liu Zhao to go up and ask if he could take us to the bus station, so that the walk would not take more than 20 minutes. Hehe, this old man is very nice. Not only did he let us get on the bus, he also said that there seemed to be a lot of people on the bus we booked. Maybe he can keep us with this Newman.

It is a bit luxurious, mainly because you can go to Mount Cook, but it costs more than 40 US dollars per person! You have to stop for 10-30 minutes every two hours on the way. In a small town you can eat and take photos. This is the style here. All bus drivers do this, unlike China, where it takes 7-8 hours to get to the end. Many interesting photos were taken in the first town. On the way there is Lake Tekapo, which is also a very bright lake with snow-capped mountains beside it. One of us was turned upside down and switched to Intercity, only to find that we couldn't sit down anymore. The old man shouted, and my sister responded quickly. It didn't take two seconds to get back into Newmans, and everyone in the bus was envious of us. Mount Cook is also good. The hotel where we rest is quite high-end. The scenery at the entrance is beautiful and the photos are crazy.

It’s past 7 o’clock in Queenstown. It was dark, but it was quite bustling. After settling in at Pinewood, I headed into town for KFC. By the way, this is the worst place we have stayed in all the way, haha, it is a little more difficult. It is mainly a wooden house with three rooms, one of which is occupied by foreigners. The evaluation of them is, in one word, chaotic. On July 3, Queenstown-Te Anau-Milford Sound-Te Anau-Queenstown still got up early, and the trip to Milford Sound, a major attraction, was another 12-hour day. Passing by Te Anau, it is a quiet and beautiful town. Everything is so cute. LP adults like it the most! Then we enter Fioran National Park, the scenery here is very beautiful. This is indeed where The Lord of the Rings was filmed.

Along the way, there are grasslands, snow-capped mountains, mirror lakes, tunnels, and waterfalls all over the mountain. Hey, there are too many good things, haha. Later, I took a red boat to visit the bay and look at photos. No nonsense. I went back to the pine forest and played on the trampoline. Additionally, the cooking triggered the alarm twice and we had to ask two British girls to help us. We didn't play Queenstown all over the place. This is a tourist center, a commercial village, and things are ridiculously expensive! Nothing interesting.

During the two days we were here, we stayed up all night and couldn't see any scenery, haha. Queenstown Franz Josef still woke up early on July 4th and was in a low mood! Today was very easy, just a 4-5 hour drive to Franz Josef, which is the west coast of the South Island.

Take the Atomic Shuttle (minibus company, it will be cheaper, and it is more cost-effective to take theirs for short distances). After passing Lake Wanaka, there were delicious fish on the road. I played billiards with Meat and passed the Fox Glacier to Franz Josef. The motel, Gateway Motel, is the second best on our road. It is a small white building on the first floor. After a few days of hard work, it's really nice to have a place like this. We could see the glacier but we didn't have enough time to do a half or full day hike which was a real shame. Thinking about it this way, I didn't go to see the glaciers in Sichuan, and I didn't go this time either. I've missed it several times and will definitely go next time! Easy to pack and 10 minutes away. Really small. KFC has nothing, and there are no big supermarkets.

In the evening, Liu Zhao and his sister cooked beef and cabbage, and finally ate rice. Play cards and do laundry at night. July 5 Franz Josef-Grey Mouth-Christchurch I still get up early, and earlier than going to work every day! Once again, Lucky looked for my hat and gloves for a long time in the morning, and ended up meeting the shuttle bus driver who took us yesterday ( He drove back and forth on this road in one day and back in the same day). Haha, I was so excited to watch Motel yesterday that I forgot it in the car. Had a bite to eat in Greymouth and took the sightseeing train back to Christchurch to see Milford Sound. I think the scenery along the way is really average. It is said to be one of the top ten sightseeing trains in the world.

There is a lake that really looks like a mirror, which is not bad. Haven't seen water for a long time. The Chinese food I ate in Christchurch was average and cost Liu Zhao a lot of money. My personal conclusion is that there is basically no good Chinese food in the South Island, but it is completely different when you get to the North Island. Of course this was discovered later. Anyway, my wife and I were in the mood to go back to Beijing at that time. No matter the taste or quality, we would definitely go crazy after eating this meal. It really suffocated us to death. July 6th, Christchurch-Kaikoura, the best two days of this journey begin! By the way, I better get up early. Departing from Christchurch, we set off early in the morning and headed straight to Kaikoura, a seaside town near Christchurch.

The more interesting ones are mainly Hammer Springs and Kaikoura, and of course skiing, but we are not interested. Hammer Spring is also said to be a beautiful hot spring, but because I had already made up my mind to go to the famous hot spring in Rotorua on the North Island, I didn't go and just went to Kaikoura. Kaikoura, Kaikoura, haha, May, no way! It was great staying in a motel, right on the beach. Hey, this is the best day. On the beach, my sister and Liu Zhao each made deep confessions (to show to their good brothers after returning home), especially Liu Zhao, alas, it was so sour! Walk straight along the beach and go to the pier to buy fresh lobsters. Two pounds too fast. It only costs over 30 yuan.

It is worth emphasizing that tonight is a big meal, beef and potatoes, mussels (although it is too fishy) and lobster! Hehe, according to Liu Zhao later, during the two days we were here, Prince William of the old British family is also here, but it’s a pity that we didn’t meet! On July 7, Kaikoura got seasick, so early in the morning, only Liu Zhao and I went out to watch whales. Fortunately, I looked at 6 photos and videos and didn't see any dolphins. I was happy to see a whale once in my life. When I came back I took the motel owner's car. When I got off the bus, there were three fat sea lions lying next to me. It’s so scary! The scenery is also beautiful, and then walking back all the way, you can’t avoid posing for a murder movie.

The next day, we will separate. Liu Zhao is indivisible. Let’s take some photos! The scene is extremely touching! July 8th Kaikoura-Picton-Wellington-Palmerston North No need to get up early from today! The people are liberated! Liu Zhao once wanted to talk to us We went to the North Island together, but the air ticket back to the South Island was too expensive, so he had to give up! We took the bus, the inter-island ferry, the ferry was really big! We arrived in the capital Wellington at 4:00 pm, but the Tao Jin brothers went directly Come get us and kill Palmerston North. He was unlucky along the way and encountered many car accidents and traffic jams. But when I arrived at North Pagoda (my sister’s base camp), I ate flour at Liangwu, and Mr. LP cheered me on. It's spicy enough for me, and I finally ate it for so many days. It's more Chinese-flavored.

Finally I can go online. On July 9, Sister North of Palmerston took us to visit the city center, and LP bought a pair of pants. By the way, poor Tao Jin brothers, this nearly 10-year-old car is usually overhauled every two years, but this time it caught up. It cost more than 600 dollars to repair it many times, which was really annoying! In the end, I didn't drive his car because it was not finished. Dumplings tonight, my dear! Eat beautifully and find Helen can eat even better. On July 10th, Palmerston North, it was my sister’s classmates Helen and Chen Kui’s turn to invite us. Haha, he is a nice person! We plan to visit Messi ourselves. We just went out and saw swans in the lake next to the library. It was raining.

In the afternoon, they took us to visit the famous Duck Lake in Beiba. This is the swan that I said in "Lost Face" must be exposed. Very scary! As soon as it sees the food, its neck will stand up high, almost reaching the person's shoulders, and it is extremely fierce. It’s true that people die for wealth and birds die for food! By the way, I played basketball with Wen Gu and a group of Cantonese people at noon.

Although they are wearing sandals, they still play well, but they have not exercised for a long time.

After a day or two, it became sore. In the evening, I accompanied my sister to Robin's house for dinner. Their father is very good. Later I found out that he was also an artist. Ate Lone Star, good western food, but too heavy. July 11th, Palmerston North. Today, Chen Kui and his wife took us to Windmill Hill and a small park in Macy, called Macy Jiuzhaigou.

On July 12, Palmerston North-Lake Taupo-Rotorua finally said goodbye to the 3-day rest period in Palmerston North. Tao Jin's car bumped badly, so he had to borrow Gu Wen's car. After a brief stop at Lake Taupo, I had lunch in the car by the lake, then went directly to Rotorua and took a hot spring bath. It is known as one of the top ten health spas in the world. Very distinctive. The outdoor swimming pool is right by the lake. Lying in the swimming pool, watching the birds flying around on the lake, the blue sky and white clouds. Really cool! Takeout and some Chinese food in the evening, not bad. Haha, I didn’t sleep well. I snore, which makes it difficult for Tao Jin to sleep well. I found out later. Hum, I would have slept better if I had known earlier. He sleeps on a spring bed.

By the way, the motel is very cheap, 85 for four people. Haha, I also saw the wonder of moving a house. Here in New Zealand, because there are fewer people and fewer cars, highways are usually one big and one road. People in New Zealand often move directly, so every time they move, they have to declare to the government. After the government approves, they start moving. On the highway, there will be a car in front of them. Put up a sign saying there is an oversized car passing behind them, to alert oncoming cars to pull over, and then you will see a large truck pulling a wooden house across the highway. Rotorua-Auckland on July 13. Stop watching Waitomo Caves and head directly to the geysers. The whole park is pretty good.

This is a geothermal area, and the air in Rotorua is filled with the smell of sulfur. Then I went to Auckland early and with the Taojin experience I beat the traffic and stayed in a holiday park. Tao Jin insisted on sleeping in the living room, but he was afraid that I would snore! In the Chinese area, I had Chinese food. I felt good, but I was not full! Auckland is too big, with too many people, too many cars, and too many Chinese people. many. So boring. It feels a bit like Beijing. On July 14th, I took a day trip to Auckland. I ate and ate and ate. I went to Mission Bay, which my sister misses so much, and ate the ice cream I had heard about. It's really great. On July 15, Auckland-Hong Kong finally embarked on its return journey.

On the way back, the movie was not good to watch, but they asked for the noodles that Liu Zhao asked for repeatedly. Haha, not bad. Hong Kong is so hot! The cheap E11 bus costs 21 yuan for a trip into the city. Staying at Nanyang Hotel is okay. Hong Kong is really a small place with a lot of people. It’s full of people from 11 to 12 o’clock in the evening. The house is small and hot! My dear, there will be jet lag on July 16th, so I can’t sleep after four o’clock. The two of them went out at eight o'clock, walked around a lot, and ate twice. Before ten o'clock the shop was still closed. After shopping, looking at the bustling crowds on the street, I really have no energy at all. Before 2 o'clock, the two of them took E11 back to the airport. There were not many people on the plane.

No wonder, who went back to Beijing on Saturday afternoon? Everything went smoothly. No one cares about the so-called customs declaration form of China Customs. Fortunately, we considered countermeasures for a long time. This is the end of the 18-day trip. The following is my experience during this trip to New Zealand: Clothing: New Zealand has a maritime climate, which is very pleasant. The average temperature is 10 degrees in winter and 20 degrees in summer. Therefore, although we went there during the coldest time, the most we could do was wear a cotton-padded jacket. In fact, except when you go out to the sea or go deep into the mountains, it will be a little colder, and then north of Auckland, it will be a little hotter. The rest of the time the temperature won't be too exaggerated. The only thing to note is that there is a big temperature difference between day and night, so it is best to wear several layers of clothing. Food: It’s a foreign country after all. Although I am very used to it

As I said before, in order to save money, I make my own sandwiches, but in the end, I almost threw up. There, there is basically no hope for Chinese food in the South Island; in the North Island, there are many people and there are many Chinese people, so there is still a chance to eat it. In short, eating is a big problem. If you can do it yourself, the average person can spend less than 10 dollars a day! The next restaurant will basically cost at least 70-80 dollars for four people.

Accommodation: In fact, four people are the best partners when going out to play, so food, accommodation and transportation are relatively affordable. In fact, the Motel that lives there costs 80-100 knives for two people and 100-120 knives for four people, which is much better. In peak season, it may rise by 15%. If you really want to save money and there are few people, stay at Backpackers. Generally speaking, the cost per person is over $20, but public restrooms and cooking facilities are often used. If there are a lot of people, there is no need to stay with backpackers, it will be more cost-effective to stay in a motel. OK: It’s the cheapest to drive, which is just one gas price. The cost of renting a car is dozens of yuan a day, depending on what kind of car you rent.
