New Zealand Of The White Cloud
With its primeval forests, mighty snowcapped peaks, gigantic fjords and grumbling volcanoes, it's no wonder the makers of The Lord Of The Rings films decided to shoot the trilogy in New Zealand.
Rugged ranger-types can relive The Fellowship Of The Ring by scaling forbidding mountain passes or crossing volcanic moonscapes towards the cracks of doom2. For more adrenaline3 highs there's an unbeatable4 choice of good value activities, from white water rafting and jet boat rides to bungee-jumping5 and skydiving.
For more homely Hobbit6 types, NZ has many other attractions to enjoy — rambling countryside, a glorious coastline and plenty of sedate places to sit and enjoy the amazing views. And then there 's the terrific cuisine and wine.
With two weeks or more, a good way to see the country is to start in Auckland on the North Island, then drive to Wellington, crossing by ferry to the South Island. Take in the breathtaking scenery around Queenstown before flying home from Christchurch.
There's too much to see beyond Auckland and too much to justify spending too much time in the city. So head south to Waitomo. Hiding beneath the hilly area are the haunting Waitomo Glowworm Caves. Drift in silence in the dark on the subterranean lake and gaze up at the spectacular living lightshow.
An ideal romantic destination is Fernside, a restored historic house about an hour north of Wellington with large colonial-era bedrooms offing luxury bed, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
About midway down the South Island stands Mount Cook, the highest peak in the country at 3, 764m, surrounded by giant glaciers.

白云之鄉(xiāng)——新西蘭
新西蘭有著眾多的原始森林、白雪覆蓋的壯麗山峰、宏偉的峽灣以及咆哮的火山, 難怪片者會選擇在這里拍攝《指環(huán)王》三部曲。
強(qiáng)壯的漫游者可以通過攀登險(xiǎn)峻的山路、穿越通向世界末日的荒涼的火山地區(qū)來重溫 《護(hù)戒使者》中的情景。如果還想更刺激的話, 這里還有驚險(xiǎn)無比的極限運(yùn)動, 從白水河漂流和快艇沖浪到蹦極和空中跳傘, 應(yīng)有盡有。
對那些喜歡寧靜和平和的旅游者來說, 新西蘭也有很多好去處——— 一望無垠的田野、壯麗的海岸線和無數(shù)可以坐享驚人美景的幽靜之所。更有讓人垂涎的美食和葡萄酒。 如果有兩個星期或更長的時間, 比較好的游覽路線是: 從北島的奧克蘭出發(fā), 然后驅(qū)車到惠靈頓, 再乘渡船到南島。從基督城乘飛機(jī)回家之前, 享受一下女王城攝人魂魄的美景。
除奧克蘭外, 其附近還有許多地方讓人流連忘返、值得一看。到南面的懷特摩去看看。隱藏在山地之中的懷特摩螢火蟲巖洞, 讓人回味無窮。你可以一邊在幽暗的地下湖中靜靜地漂流, 一邊欣賞光影閃爍的奇景。
芬塞德是一個浪漫的理想去處, 從惠靈頓北部驅(qū)車一小時左右即到。它是一座經(jīng)過修復(fù)的古老宅子, 保留著殖民時期的寬敞臥室, 為游人提供豪華的床榻和一日三餐。 在南島的中部, 矗立著周圍環(huán)繞著巨大冰川的新西蘭最高峰——— 海拔3 764 米的庫克山。
