▲ Christchurch
Christchurch is the largest town in New Zealand's South Island. It was the first city established in New Zealand by Royal Charter in July 1856. Town planning experts at the time envisioned Christchurch as a political and economic center integrating education, arts, science, government, religion, history, and recreational activities. Although two major earthquakes in 2010 and 2011 nearly destroyed Christchurch, the painstaking reconstruction continues, and the gradually recovering city is slowly revealing a new look that blends history and modernity.

▲Lake Tekapo
Lake Tekapo is the most famous lake in New Zealand's South Island. Formed by glacial damming, this unique natural environment gives the lake its incredibly blue waters, a true paradise on earth. During the day, the mountains and lake complement each other beautifully, while at night, the Milky Way fills the sky, making it an ideal spot for stargazing.

▲Arrowtown
In the 19th century, New Zealand experienced a gold rush, and Arrowtown became one of the most popular gold rush towns in the South Island. After the rush, Arrowtown seemed to stand still in time. With its antique British telephone booths, 19th-century hotels, and classic cars parked along the roadside, it feels like time has been transported back a century, leaving behind a nostalgic 19th-century atmosphere. The movie "The Lord of the Rings" was also filmed in Arrowtown. Come to Arrowtown and experience its tranquility and serenity.

▲Queenstown
Located on the northern shores of Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown is a beautiful town surrounded by the Southern Alps, nestled between the mountains and the water. In Queenstown, take a ride on the renowned Skyline Gondola, which takes you from Queenstown to the summit of Bob's Peak, offering breathtaking views of Queenstown along the way. Cruise Lake Wakatipu aboard the century-old TSS steamship. Originally used primarily for freight transport, the Queenstown steamship plied the waters around Lake Wakatipu. As Queenstown transitioned from an agricultural economy to a tourism-focused economy, the sound of the steamship's whistle remains unwavering, captivating visitors and continuing to play a central role in Lake Wakatipu's history.

▲Milford Sound
Milford Sound is a New Zealand icon. Hidden in the northernmost reaches of Fiordland National Park, this breathtakingly beautiful fiordland is a World Heritage Site and is known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World." Head to Te Anau, the South Island's largest lake. Surrounded by the Alps, Te Anau remains untouched by overdevelopment, maintaining its pristine natural beauty. Its scenery, pristine and pure, evokes a sense of tranquility.

▲ Dunedin
Located in the southeast of New Zealand's South Island, Dunedin is the South Island's second-largest city after Christchurch. Many early British and Scottish immigrants settled here, giving it a uniquely exotic feel. Dunedin has even been called the "Edinburgh of New Zealand." Here, you can experience a strong Scottish atmosphere, and the artistic streets are both historical sites worth exploring.
