New Zealand tourist attractions and precautions New Zealand tourist attractions and precautions

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 of New Zealand 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 highway, or you will receive a ticket of around NZ $200. Drivers and passengers should wear seat belts, and so should the back seat.

7. There are bicycle lanes in most areas. In New Zealand, bicycles are more used as exercise tools than transportation. You must wear a helmet when riding a bike, turn on the flashing warning light or wear a reflective safety coat at night.

8. New Zealanders have a slow pace of life. Don't be impatient in Rome. When you encounter problems, you must face them calmly and don't argue loudly. At the same time, pay attention to some small details in public places, such as standing on the left side of the escalator and paying attention to whether there is anyone behind you when using the sliding door. Don't jump the queue, don't throw rubbish everywhere, and remember to clean up after eating in the public kitchen or barbecue area.

9. Outdoor sports are very common in the South Island of New Zealand. You can also join the ranks of running, cycling, hiking and boating, and you can prepare tents, sleeping bags and outdoor cookers.

10, it's convenient to spend by credit card. Most New Zealanders don't have more than NZ $20 in their wallets, but they still have to prepare small change when they take the bus at the weekend market.

1 1. Most shops in New Zealand close early, especially on weekends. Except for some McDonald's, there are almost no shops open 24 hours a day, which is in great contrast with China, and the nightlife is not rich. Even bars mainly watch football games.

12, the air quality and water quality in New Zealand are very high, and tap water can be directly drunk.

13. If you plan to drive in New Zealand, I suggest you book a good car on the website of the car rental company in advance and book a hotel room every night to avoid the problem of price increase or failure to book due to the peak season and other reasons.

14. When making a self-driving plan, due to road conditions and other reasons, the actual driving time is much longer than that marked on GPS or maps. Please reserve enough time when driving every day to avoid burning the midnight oil. Check whether the oil quantity is sufficient before departure, and try not to refuel until the oil runs out. It is not easy to refuel in some towns, and the oil price is high.

15. All tourist hotspots will have an i-site. You can get some material from it if necessary. They will provide information about local accommodation, food and play.
