What should I pay attention to when traveling in New Zealand?

1, the customs requirements in New Zealand are very strict. When filling in the entry card, you must read it carefully and truthfully declare the articles you carry, especially food, animals and plants, their products and medicines. If the declaration is found to be false, you may face a fine or even be refused entry.

Don't leave valuables, such as handbags, computer bags, mobile phones, etc. In a driverless car. If you must put it in the car, please put it in the trunk, that is, don't let others see the valuables in the car through the window, so as to avoid the accident of smashing the car and stealing. Although the overall law and order situation in New Zealand is very good, the phenomenon of smashing cars and stealing still occurs from time to time. Don't take it lightly.

3. When crossing the road at the intersection with traffic lights, be sure to press the pedestrian button (silver-gray round button) on the lamppost, and then the red pedestrian light will light up, telling you to wait until the green pedestrian light lights up before crossing the road. New Zealand has a fast speed, so don't cross the road at a red light.

People in the South Island of New Zealand are generally friendly, and strangers you meet when you walk will greet you and say hello in a friendly way. Please smile and respond positively. Always talk about everyday polite expressions, such as good morning, thank you, don't worry, goodbye.

5. The South Island is located in the southern hemisphere, which is just the opposite of the four seasons in China. The sunshine is long in summer and the climate is cold all year round. Even in spring and summer, the temperature is maintained at 10℃-20℃, and it will drop to-10℃ in some areas in winter. Pay attention to cold and warmth, and always pay attention to the weather forecast.

6. On the South Island of New Zealand, the right rudder drives to the left, contrary to China. If it takes a while to get used to driving, you must pay attention to the traffic rules and don't overspeed. Don't drive too slowly on the speed limit expressway, or you will get a ticket of around NZ $200. Drivers and passengers should wear seat belts, and so should the back seat.
