What season is April in New Zealand?

March and April are autumn in New Zealand. The scenery is beautiful and it is also very suitable for traveling!

What is there to do in New Zealand in April?

Go to Arrowtown

You must go to Arrowtown in autumn. Starting from Queenstown and heading south, you will arrive at Arrowtown, which is famous for its beautiful autumn scenery, gold mining history and ancient buildings.

In April and May every year, the leaves of deciduous trees begin to become colorful. In the quiet town, there are high-end wineries, delicious restaurants, coffee shops, and art salons. There will also be an "Autumn Carnival" locally! According to Li 360, a teacher studying abroad, the 2008 Arrowtown Autumn Carnival is scheduled to be held from April 20th to 25th.

Walking

New Zealand has many trails, and autumn is a great season for hiking. The weather is not as hot as summer, making people feel comfortable and cool while walking.

Choose a hiking route that you can control, climb high, see far, and broaden your horizons. At the same time, you are one step closer to a healthy lifestyle.

Take a photo

Take a photo of a beautiful scenery. There are willows in spring, Christmas flowers in summer, and pines and cypresses in winter, so New Zealand naturally has the colorful scene of falling trees in autumn.

Sitting on the fallen leaves, leaving behind the most touching scene of this autumn. Don’t waste a season, don’t waste a day.

Wine Tasting

When autumn comes, you will find that New Zealand’s vineyards are exuding rich aromas. What did you say? Would you like a glass of wine?

Enjoy the rain

Most parts of New Zealand have a mild climate and it often rains in autumn. Some people say that rainy days can make people feel depressed. So, why don’t we change our thinking to welcome the rainy day?

Just calm down and enjoy the rain! The rain drops gently, like lovers whispering, tenderly telling a secret. Slowly becoming bit by bit, quietly the leaves, flowers, and roads are all wet. The autumn rain is gentle and lingering, like strands of silk, like mellow wine.

Appreciate the bright full moon

The sky is on each side, and the moon is full. Find a quiet night, sit by the window, look up at the moon, the moon expresses feelings for your loved ones.

There are observatories in Auckland, Wellington and Canterbury. If you are interested, you can also go to the observatory to enjoy the moon and stars.

Tune in time

Daylight saving time is coming to an end in New Zealand. Friends who live in New Zealand will definitely experience watch adjustment! Generally speaking, Internet-connected devices such as mobile phones and computers can automatically change the time, while wall clocks require you to adjust the hour hand counterclockwise by one hour.

So people can "sleep an extra hour"! By then, New Zealand time will be 4 hours ahead of China time.

Reading

Summer has passed, and autumn may be the most free and enjoyable time of the year. Calm down and spend an autumn reading more prose and good books.

The essays or books about autumn include Lin Yutang's "The Taste of Autumn", Yu Dafu's "Autumn in the Old Capital", Shi Tiesheng's "The Temple of Earth and Me", Chen Guanxue's "Pastoral Autumn" and so on.

Night Markets

Now New Zealand is becoming more and more Chinese, especially in Auckland, which already has 9 night markets. Hamilton has one.

Find a comfortable evening and visit the night market with friends. You can taste food from different countries and feel the cultural differences in food from different countries.

Clean thoroughly

Autumn is here and it’s time to start spring cleaning. In addition to cleaning seasonal clothes and bedding, it is more important to clean the hygienic corners that are usually ignored and rarely cleaned carefully.

This will not only make the home cleaner, but also effectively sterilize, so that family members will be less likely to get sick during the seasonal changes in weather.

Enjoy the hot spring

Close your eyes and soak in the warm pool; open your eyes and stare at the sky in a daze. This is one of the best places to relax in a hot spring. There are so many hot spring pools in New Zealand, there is bound to be one suitable for you.

Attend a festival

Every fall, the Auckland Arts Festival kicks off, showcasing Auckland's colorful and multicultural arts to locals and tourists.

From Maori culture to Pacific Island culture, from concerts, choir performances, drama performances to various cultural and art exhibitions, the festival has a variety of exciting activities.

Diving

Poor Knight Island in the North Island of New Zealand is rated as one of the top ten diving destinations in the world. There are groups of sponges and coral reefs here, and it is home to many "ocean dwellers".

Every autumn is the best time for diving here, because the diving distance here is the highest at this time, reaching 50 meters.

Visit a trade fair

New Zealanders love growing fruit and vegetables. As autumn arrives, the markets come alive with people selling their own fruits and vegetables and related products.

If you want to find healthy and cheap fruits and vegetables, you might as well check the opening hours and location of your local market online and go check it out!

Eat Oysters

Napoleon once said that oysters are the best food for me to conquer women and enemies. So it's no surprise that New Zealanders are crazy about oysters. In the fall, oysters are caught at South Island Bluff.

According to the editor, the Bluff Oyster Festival will be held on May 25th! This is truly an event that everyone is looking forward to!

Travel

Long sunny days are the main theme of New Zealand's autumn. The average temperature of 18 to 25 degrees Celsius makes you barely aware that summer is "officially" over.

Around mid-April, the nights start to get cold. Because the tourist season is over, you won’t encounter the bustling crowds of summer. So, autumn is a great time to travel to New Zealand.

Swimming

In March and April, the temperature in most places is still suitable for swimming. After exploring the coastline, you can jump into the ocean for a swim.

However, I want to remind you that you must pay attention to safety when swimming in the water! Learn to rescue yourself; set safety rules for yourself for water activities; always use safe and appropriate equipment and understand weather and water conditions before entering the water.

Sea fishing

March to May is the best time for sea fishing. You can choose to charter a boat from the local area or go fishing at the beach.

I also remind you that safety issues must not be ignored; master the tide patterns and UV index; if the fish caught does not meet the size requirements, please release it; the number of fish per person per day is limited, please do not Limit exceeded.

Whale Watching

The Wellington coast in autumn offers the best opportunity to see killer whales and dolphins. You can learn about these marine creatures through fun whale watching activities.

You can visit the seaside cities of Eastbourne or Picton or take a ferry. There are also related projects in other cities across the country.

Self-driving

Starting from the end of April, there are traces of ice and snow along the mountain roads, so it is a good idea to start a road trip. If you plan to drive by yourself, it is recommended to prepare snow chains.

At the same time, be sure to obey traffic rules! You can only hit the road if you understand New Zealand's traffic laws 100%.

Climbing the Peak

Du Fu once wrote a famous poem "Climbing High" in autumn. Nowadays, climbing mountains in autumn has become a custom in China. In New Zealand, is it possible to climb high and see far away?

Yes, of course. If you don’t want to climb outdoors, you might as well “climb” up the Sky Tower, the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere, and experience the feeling of being at a high altitude!

Get close to animals

There are many farms in New Zealand, and some places provide farm tours to people. In your spare time, spend more time with cute animals!

When autumn comes, animals will feel very lazy. When you walk into the farm, maybe the animals will perk up and become excited.

Parachute

Autumn in New Zealand is in the first half of the year. What will make the first half of the year memorable? Of course, this is doing things you haven't tried before.

If you have never tried exciting extreme sports such as skydiving and bungee jumping, you might as well have the courage this autumn to make these the most meaningful conversations in your future.

Attend the Hot Air Balloon Festival

Hamilton holds the Hot Air Balloon Festival every year, and this year is the 20th!

It attracts balloon enthusiasts and athletes from across New Zealand and the world who come to experience the fun, friendship and warmth this balloon-friendly city has to offer and showcase their skills at a range of competition events Skill.

Go to Queenstown.

In autumn, Queenstown sends away a large number of tourists, and the noisy city becomes quiet. Sitting in a cafe and looking at the autumn sunshine on the lake, you will slowly discover the charm of this city.

People sat in groups by the lake, eating simple food, chatting happily, or watching boats sailing across Lake Wakatipu. Perhaps this is the most correct “way to open” Queenstown.

Watch the clouds

When you arrive in New Zealand, you have to look up at the sky. It is easier to understand what blue sky and white clouds are here than elsewhere.

In the early years, the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand came across the ocean from Polynesia in the South Pacific to settle here, and called this green land with white flowers "the long white cloud" in Aotearoa - Maori language. home".

Listen to music

If the busy and stressful life makes you feel tired, you might as well listen to a few songs to relax.

There are countless songs about autumn, such as Jacky Cheung's "Autumn", Mao Ning's "Late Autumn", Alan Tam's "Love in Late Autumn", Wang Qiang's "Autumn Never Comes Back" and so on.

Watch the sunrise

Gisborne, located on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island, is one of the earliest cities on earth to see the sunrise every morning.

Waiting for the sunrise hand in hand with your lover and embracing the first ray of sunshine during the day will definitely leave the best memories.

Eat hot pot.

If occasionally the weather suddenly changes, then invite a few friends to have hot pot together! Watching the steaming hot pot, the sweet and tender tripe, the fragrant fat beef, and various meatballs.

All worries disappear when you encounter hot pot. Eat hot pot and make life exciting!

Free your hair

Girls have been waiting for this moment to say goodbye to buns or ponytails.

In autumn, everyone can finally let their hair spread without feeling too hot, and even shake it casually, just like those young actresses.

Eat pomegranates

How can you not eat pomegranates in autumn? Some friends have a bad stomach and must eat pomegranates at this time. Pomegranate is the "king of fruits" in autumn.

Pomegranate tastes sweet, sour and warm, and has insecticidal, astringent, intestinal astringent and anti-diarrheal effects. Pomegranate is rich in nutrients, and its vitamin C content is one or two times higher than that of apples and pears.

Eat Pumpkin

Pumpkin is a common food on the table. It is rich in nutrients and can be made in various ways. As you can see from the color of the pumpkin, this food is best enjoyed in autumn.

New Zealand’s pumpkins are produced from high-quality farms. The pumpkins grown have thick and dense flesh, are smooth on the inside and waxy on the outside, and have a fragrant fragrance. New Zealanders often eat it as a staple food, side meal and dessert.

Health maintenance

The crisp autumn air is more suitable for people to recuperate. This season is also a good time to take supplements.

But don’t make up for it randomly. You should be careful not to take supplements when you are not sick and do not identify the deficiency. You should pay attention to taking appropriate amounts of supplements, and avoid supplementing food with medicines. Medicine is not as good as food.

Tea tasting (a rigorous evaluation of the taste and quality of the tea)

Forget about the iced drinks! On a lazy sunny afternoon, drink a cup of tea and savor the unique taste.

While tasting tea, you can learn about the long history and culture of tea, and you can also "treat yourself" and enjoy a delicious tea and food.

Go sightseeing

The reason why many people like autumn is that New Zealand has more public holidays. Such as Easter, Anzac Day, etc. Plan where to go on vacation!

Pick persimmons

Autumn is here, and many persimmon orchards in the country are open to the public. The beautiful orchard is filled with persimmon trees bearing attractive fruits. Just looking at it makes people salivate.
