What are the scenic spots in New Zealand? New Zealand travel guide

New Zealand is a good place to travel, because American movies will be filmed here, so you can know what the scenery here is like. Bian Xiao, let's count the beautiful scenery for you first.

Matamata

When it comes to Matamata, it may be a bit strange, but when it comes to Hobbits, it's really a location that fans are familiar with, and this village is in Matamata. As the location of the beautiful Shire, there is really no pressure here. After all, the green fields in Kamai Mountains can be seen everywhere, and the beautiful environment itself exudes the serene atmosphere of Shire's isolation.

Tamata Town is located in the Waikato area, and the surrounding green pastures have been transformed into a paradise in Middle-earth, and the Hobbit was born. Although most of the villages have been demolished after the filming, the rest of Alexander Farm can still satisfy the imagination of hobbit life by fans. Familiar round arch, mill, double arch bridge, pocket hole where Gandalf and Bilbo meet again, etc. Everything is displayed in front of us. In the Green Dragon Inn full of 17th century style, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful lakes and Hobbit villages on the mountain while tasting pure wine. After nightfall, enjoy the authentic Shire feast in the brightly lit inn, singing and dancing like a dwarf, which is endless fun.

Tip:

Arrival mode:

1) After taking a domestic flight from New Zealand to Hamilton, drive to Matamata town for half an hour.

2) Take the intercity bus, and there are buses to Matamata town every day.

3) Drive from Auckland along National Highway No.1 to Tirau, and turn left on National Highway No.27 for two and a half hours.

Nelson

Jens Hansen, a local shop in Nelson, attracts Lord of the Rings fans from all over the world to make a pilgrimage like a magnetic field, just because the owner, Jens Hansen, a goldsmith, personally created 4 different rings for The Lord of the Rings's shooting.

Drive west from Nelson and drive past Takaka Mountain, and you will find the shooting location of Chet Forest. Here, the knight errant led the Hobbits into the hills east of Bray, trying to escape from the Black Knight.

But you need to take a helicopter to see where the Ring Messenger is hiding from black crows in Saruman. The pilot will show you around Tim Lei Deer-Mount Olympus and Owen Mountain. In the air, you can also have a bird's eye view of three national parks in this area-tasman sea, Alberta, Nelson Lake and Kahulanji.

Wellington

Victoria Hill, where Wellington is located, is the most popular place. You can walk there from the city center. The Hobbit Forest in the film is located in the forest area of Victoria Mountain, where Hobbits escape from the attack of the Black Knight.

from Wellington on the west coast, drive to Elizabeth queens park near Palapalaum, where the film filmed the scenes of the nazgul and the war elephants in the Peirano Plain War.

if you continue along the coast, you can reach the vitali forest, where Frodo, Sam and Gollum walked after leaving faramir. To the north is the Waitali Forest, the Oss Gilleas Forest in the film, and the place where Frodo, Sam and Smeagol left faramir.

Driving over mountains and into Wailalapa is the peculiar Putongilua Peak, where Aragon, Legolas and Gimli are looking for a way to die.

Tip:

Matukituki Valley

Matukituki Valley is located in Aspelin National Park and is surrounded by southern alps. It combines the scenery of glaciers and snow-capped mountains, and became one of the shooting places of Swindell in The Lord of the Rings. If you have the opportunity to come to this national park, you can choose a hiking route to experience it. Walking in it still feels like being in rivendell ~

Tianao and Fjord National Park

Fjord National Park has contributed to the epic background of the trilogy The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

The Wyo River, which runs through Tianao and Manapuli, is transformed into Anduin River in the film, and it is along this river that the Ring Messenger paddles south from Rosillian; The towering peaks around Wyo River are in the south of Vendel, and the environment is harsh.

The Tacaro Highway, not far from Tian 'ao, is the location of the French Forest in the film. You can see the scene of Aragon walking through the forest through the pictures taken from a height by the remote control camera.

Arrow Town

The beautiful Arrow Town and Greennoche are our favorite places. The beauty of New Zealand is fully reflected here in autumn, and the director has turned it into a shooting place. Arrow River, located in Captain Arrow Canyon, was used to photograph Brunan Ferry. Frodo, dying, rushed to rivendell and confronted the nazgul at the ferry.

In the woods near Nain Street in Arrow Town, I shot the scene of Doddeli West Asia Turdog being attacked and killed after cutting off Sauron's finger to get the Lord of the Rings.

Greennoch Town

In the year of The Lord of the Rings, not only the snow-capped mountains around Greennoch Town were used to shoot the misty mountains, but also the Rutebon Trail next to the town was used to watch the Wizard Valley around Eisinger, and then it was post-processed to form a gray-black tone in the film.

Actually, Greennoch is a sunny and picturesque place! Of course, there are also many locations of the Lord of the Rings in Paradise Town around Greenwich. If you go here, you can visit together. Gandalf defeated Mount Callas in Everett on Mount Ernslau.

Franz Josef Glacier

I believe that for many fans, the lighthouse on the white mountain in The Lord of the Rings is one of many exciting scenes in the film, and the white mountain in this scene was shot at Franz Josef Glacier. As one of the most accessible glaciers in the world, this location can be followed by a guide on foot ~

Queenstown

Finally, write to the famous Queenstown, let me refuel first! Glaciers in Enslow's urban valleys have created many waterfalls, all of which fall directly from the huge rock surface. This is one of the most dreamy places in The Hobbit.

It is here that Bilbo and the Dwarf set out from rivendell to continue their journey. Ben Valley Trail in Enslow, starting from Lenoci, is a challenging four-hour hiking route. After trekking, you will stand at the top of the valley, overlooking the distant glaciers and spectacular scenery.

It is adjacent to Queenstown in the South Island of New Zealand and the largest ski resort in Wanaka-Cardrona. There are huge snowfield buildings, world-class ski resorts, multinational gourmet restaurants and all-round ski service facilities. More than 75% of the snowy terrain in Cardrona is suitable for beginners and intermediate players, and most of them are open and gentle slopes. The snowy road extending to the summit has a magnificent view from Lake Wanaka to Queenstown, just like being on the top of the top snow-capped mountains in the southern hemisphere, which is unparalleled in the world! Online booking is very convenient!

tongariro national park and tongariro national park are located in the middle of the North Island. There are three volcanoes in the park, two of which were used as movie locations. The summit of Yi Shan in Nauru has been digitized as part of the doomsday volcano in the movie. Walking along the mountain path in the park, you can see Yi Shan in Nauru. You can ask about tourist routes and suggestions in the visitor center of the national park.

Mount Lupehu is the largest volcano in the national park, which reflects magic kingdom in the film. There is a rock outcrop called Medes Wall in Kapapa Ski Resort, where Frodo and Sam caught Gulum. The slopes and parking lots of ski resorts are places where orcs attack elves and humans in movies. During the filming, the actors and producers are staying at the Grand Castle Hotel, and so are you!
