The Hobbit was filmed in New Zealand, right? What else is fun to do in New Zealand?

Matamata is a famous town rich in dairy cows in the North Island of New Zealand. Farming is the main business of residents in the town, and their income ranks among the highest in the country. According to preliminary estimates, each family's daily income is about 35,000 yuan (including tax). The beautiful and ethereal scenery of New Zealand's North Island is quite consistent with the image of an elven country. It is not without reason that New Zealand is known as "the last pure land on earth". Matamata is the main filming location for the Hobbit Village Shire in the fantasy blockbuster "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" and its prequel "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey". In the film, the Waikato town of Matamata is portrayed as an almost isolated hobbit village.

In addition to Matamata, there are many fun places in New Zealand.

Auckland - Experience New Zealand's cityscape, overlook Mount Eden (an extinct volcano), enjoy lunch at the Sky Tower's revolving restaurant, walk on the top of the tower or bravely bungee jump. Take a sailing tour in this city known as the "City of Thousand Sails", enjoy the afternoon tea provided on board, or experience the speed trip - America's Cup sailing.
