November 11th Hokitika?#31119; Fox Glacier?#29926; Wanaka, Naka Lake Town. After breakfast, load the car and leave the hotel at 7:45, and visit and shop at a jade shop in the town. New Zealand produces a kind of green nephrite. They process the jade into patterns that the local Maori people pray for, and make it into necklaces and other jewelry. It is different from the luxury of Chinese jade, but it has the roughness of nature and a unique flavor. After leaving the town, we walked along the west coast to see the famous Fox Glacier. Due to New Zealand's special location and landform, glaciers can form at such low latitudes, which is a wonder in the world. Along the way, there is pastoral scenery, with large stretches of pasture, large herds of sheep, cattle, horses, and deer filling the pasture, and the continuous snow-capped mountains in the distance, which is a beautiful natural scenery. It's a pity that God is not kind, sometimes it is cloudy, sometimes it rains, and occasionally the sun shines. Pass through Westland National Park and reach the location of the glacier. When the weather is good, you can take a helicopter to admire the entire glacier from the air, which is truly spectacular. Helicopters will also land on the glacier, allowing you to get up close and personal with the glacier. Unfortunately, the weather was bad and the helicopter stopped, so we could only stand in the distance and look at the glacier. But the weather was very cloudy, and the glacier was hidden in the clouds and fog and could not be seen clearly. Due to time constraints, we could not wait any longer, so we had to go back to the car sadly. When I was about to set off, someone suddenly pointed over there and said, "Here we come!" Out! ?#36710;Everyone on the bus ran out of the car and looked in the direction of the glacier?#21487;Wasn’t it? The sky opened a little, and the faint blue glacier was exposed. Finally, we took a look, and our trip was not in vain.
