Wellington detailed travel guide

I hear New Zealand is beautiful. I heard that social welfare in New Zealand is very good. It is said that the entry conditions for New Zealand immigrants are not high. After all kinds of hearing, we have the impulse to go to New Zealand to experience it. Planned it three times.

I hear New Zealand is beautiful. I heard that social welfare in New Zealand is very good. It is said that the entry conditions for New Zealand immigrants are not high.

After all kinds of hearing, we have the impulse to go to New Zealand to experience it. I have planned three trips, the first time I didn't have time because I couldn't get a holiday, the second time I couldn't get on the plane because I was pregnant for eight months, and finally I implemented the third plan during the Spring Festival on 20 18.

Get a work visa ready before you travel.

1, visa: Taobao will get it, and the visa will be issued in ten days. Consumption for two people 1498 yuan.

Communication, transportation

2. Rent mobile Wi-Fi: This must be available! It is also made in Taobao, so it is very convenient to get back from the domestic airport. Rent 32 yuan/day, one Wi-Fi link and two mobile phones to brush Weibo WeChat is no problem, just don't watch movies online, the network speed is good, and the signal is basically stable. (The network in New Zealand is not as good as that in China, so the requirements should not be too high.)

3. Local communication: We directly launched international roaming of telecommunications without changing local calling cards. The tariff is not expensive. Only when we call Youbu do we communicate with the driver by phone when we get on the bus. There are not many other phone calls, and it is too much trouble to change the number. Contact family and friends by WeChat phone.

4. Local transportation: temporarily take a taxi and download Uber software in advance; Google Maps downloads navigation in advance; To rent a car and drive, you should prepare your driver's license and English translation in advance; Rent a car in advance according to the itinerary! New Zealand is a place where public transportation is extremely underdeveloped, with a vast territory and few people, almost one car. So you must rent a car when you travel to New Zealand! ! The average rent is 200-300 yuan /24 hours. Just go to Uber.

5. Official driver's license and English translation: It takes about a week to get it in any notary office in China, and it will take them nearly to 800 yuan. This is necessary for car rental and self-driving in New Zealand, otherwise you can't rent a car? And if you are stopped by the local traffic police, you will be in big trouble. Later, we found that we can apply for a New Zealand-certified driver's license for free on the car rental software. Each car rental company requires a different type of driver's license. Please read the requirements carefully before placing an order!

6. Car Rental: We reserved car models in advance on the car rental website. When we arrived, we contacted the car rental company. He will send a car to pick us up at the airport and go to their car rental company. It is usually close to the airport. Because there is an appointment, the procedure is simple. Pick up the car and go.

Pay attention to renting a car: be sure to book in advance! We didn't rent a car because our stay in Auckland and Christchurch was only one or two days. When I arrived at the airport, I found that Uber was too expensive and wanted to rent a car temporarily. The five car rental companies at the airport are fully booked, and on-site car rental is not accepted! So you have to rent a car for a day!

(Ps: Wellington doesn't need to rent a car. This is an exception? This city is so concentrated that we just need to walk around. We rented a car in Wellington for three days and went to the parking lot. Parking fees are also very expensive. )

You must buy full insurance when renting a car. Basic insurance is not enough. Safety is the most important thing when you are away from home. It's easy to buy all the insurance you can, and it costs tens of dollars more. Don't part with this money! C car rental deposit pre-authorization from credit card 1 yuan? Filling in credit card information is a credit pledge, not money, which is very different from that in China. d

Don't worry that right-hand drive is not used to being unsafe. New Zealand is a country where people drive with their left hands and drive taxis with their right hands. But is New Zealand really a sparsely populated country? Nobody overtook, nobody cut in, nobody? No one? Yes No one? So it is very safe! I, a road killer in China, have a hard time driving in New Zealand. Don't worry!

7. Air ticket: If there is no direct flight, it is recommended to buy a connecting ticket. Our flight from Wuhan to Auckland is a connecting flight from China International Airlines to Beijing. Due to Beijing airport control, Wuhan flew to Beijing five hours late and missed the second flight to Auckland. Air China arranged accommodation and three meals, and changed to the flight to Auckland at the same time the next day for free. Although it was delayed for 24 hours, Air China handled the transfer delay very well and there was no trouble again, so it didn't affect the mood too much. There was an unexpected one-day trip to Beijing on the third day of New Year's Eve.

From the North Island of New Zealand to the South Island, you can take a boat or fly. In order to save time, we choose the plane. Do you want to take a boat? Is the Yangtze River cruise the same? There are two airlines in New Zealand, Jetstar and Air New Zealand. Jetstar will be much cheaper if you don't have much luggage. Jetstar is a low-cost airline If the luggage is overweight or oversized, there will be an extra charge and it is not cheap. Not cost-effective, but also a waste of time (line up at the scene to weigh and then go to the toll booth to pay in line? We almost missed the boarding time. (Ann) Jetstar Airlines and Air New Zealand have similar plane comfort, but the charging method is different, which is not as comfortable as Spring Airlines' 90-degree backrest hard seat.

Small change, accommodation

UnionPay has preferential payment, which is recommended. Wechat payment fee is very high and uneconomical.

9. Accommodation: Be sure to book in advance. Before going out, plan your daily itinerary and book the accommodation for the day in advance. Don't expect the freedom to play and live anywhere ~ it won't work in New Zealand! One week before departure, we booked a hotel and stayed in Lake Tikapo for one day. All the hotels and homestays were full, even several nearby towns were full! Full house! We booked a B&B in Auckland and Christchurch (the B&B can park in the owner's yard at will, free of charge), and stayed in hotels in Wellington, Queenstown and Omarama.

New Zealand accommodation recommends Airbnb's homestay. Basically, they are independent small houses built by the owners themselves in the villa garden. They have local characteristics, one room, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, and they don't have to share public space with others. They were not disturbed. It is very warm! This hotel has no special features. Except for the lake view room in Queenstown, all other hotels are the same. There are no surprises, and the price is unreasonable?

prescribe a diet

10, Diet: I have a China stomach. Western food can only be a snack. I am really not used to eating. I feel so hungry every day! ? If you are like me, I suggest you stay in a homestay with a kitchen and cook for yourself! Yes, a friend reminded me to cook by myself before I left. I didn't take it seriously. I thought I didn't cook at home at ordinary times, so I had to cook by myself when I went out to travel, huh? I was wrong, yes! When traveling, you really need to cook for yourself to fill your stomach! There are also many restaurants in New Zealand. The delicious restaurants are basically booked, and they can also be booked on public comments, but the delicious restaurants are not high-end restaurants, and the per capita consumption is basically above 300 yuan/person. Most restaurants in China are Cantonese restaurants with uneven quality. I feel that most Chinese restaurants cooperate with tour groups to let the tour guides take them to cheat China people? Like this? After being hungry for two days, I chose a Chinese restaurant, the lake view restaurant in Queenstown, Mapo tofu, shredded garlic, pickled fish and half a dozen oysters. I don't want to mention that strange smell. This meal cost us 1000 yuan! Ha ha.

The public comment is still very reliable, and the food guide outside depends on him! For example, the online celebrity burger in Queenstown is really not disappointing! For example, the seafood, steak and fried chicken in Wellington are great! If you like western food, it's not too expensive. You can go to a western restaurant. Remember to make a reservation. If you are like me, I suggest you do it yourself!

Dress

1 1. Clothing: It is summer in New Zealand during the Spring Festival. There are two beautiful skirts that I never had a chance to wear. The wind is too strong, so a windproof coat is essential. Don't ignore it. The temperature is summer, but the wind is too strong. Really need wind protection! There is a great temperature difference between morning and evening. Is summer skirt standard with short down jacket? You can't even take beautiful photos of tourists? Helpless?

Ten-day trip

When you are ready, let's go.

Auckland-Christchurch-Lake Tikapo-Omarama-Queenstown-Wellington-Auckland

Route:

Day 1: Auckland-Mount Eden, Museum, Sky Tower, downtown. Mount Eden is an active volcano, which can be visited for half an hour. Located in the city center, the Sky Tower is the highest place in Auckland. Is it not as high as our residential building? Our time in Auckland is very short, and we don't have much feeling about the whole city. It's a mountain city. There are many uphill and downhill in the city center. It's very, very clean! I was curious and touched the main street in the city center. No dust at all? Cleaner than my floor!
