6 . The best places to visit in New Zealand

While there are a few cities in the country, what makes New Zealand special is its natural beauty. To find the best places to visit in New Zealand, try exploring a little further a field to truly experience what this beautiful country has to offer.

Coromandel: Best for beautiful beaches

Situated on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island, the Coromandel region is renowned for its beautiful beaches and native bush. In here you’ll find the iconic Cathedral Cove, with a natural rock archway and sandy beaches, and Hot Water Beach, where visitors can dig a natural hot pool in the sand. Other notable activities include visiting Karangahake Gorge, the Pinnacles overnight long-distance walk and Whenuakura Wildlife Sanctuary.

Planning tip: The region is compact, and it’s easy to explore from one of the charming towns like Hahei, Pauanui or Whangamata.

Abel Tasman National Park: Best for hiking

The undeveloped natural environment with native bush, small, clear bays and white, sandy beaches at Abel Tasman National Park is a great option as a day trip from Nelson, but even better if you can stay longer. The Abel Tasman Coast Track, one of New Zealand’s Great Walks, is a 37-mile walk through the bush with lovely views of the beach. It usually takes 3-5 days to complete the full walk; otherwise, take on just a section as a day hike. Shorter bush walk trails are available too if you’re not keen on a long-distance route.

Planning tip: No cars are allowed in the national park, so visitors need to either walk to their preferred destination or take a water taxi.

Fiordland National Park: Best for impressive landscapes

On the edge of the South Island, Fiordland National Park is home to one of New Zealand’s most famous attractions, the majestic Milford Sound, where visitors can see waterfalls, magnificent views along the fiord and some marine wildlife.

Planning tip: The nearby Doubtful Sound is also spectacular but less accessible—this place is more difficult to approach and travelers need to visit with a guide and by boat.

The origins of city walks can be traced back to London. Strictly speaking, this form of urban tourism is not as casual and     2     (aim) as it may appear. Originally, city walks     3     (refer) to guided tours     4     participants followed a planned route under the guidance of tour conductors, with a strong emphasis on diving deep into the city’s rich history and cultural     5     (diverse). As an increasing number of travel     6     (enthusiasm) gathered together, they sought to immerse     7     (they) deeply in the quiet appreciation of their surroundings. Gradually, the concept gained popularity worldwide.

The appeal of city walk particularly resonates with (引起共鸣) the younger generation, who frequently find themselves caught up     8     demanding work schedules. The growing trend of city walk reflects their     9     (change) attitude towards life, namely a more relaxed and slower-paced lifestyle. After all, a city walk isn’t a real walk     10     you are aware of the history in every paving stone.
