New Zealand is a small country situated in the South Pacific Ocean with a population of about 4 million.It consists of two principal islands, the North Island and the South Island, full of scenic contrasts which will definitely take any visitor's breath away. The natural features of both islands include rolling hills, beautiful lakes, golden beaches and mountains cloaked in forest. The country is mostly hilly, with some peaks covered with snow most of the year, but more than half of its land is suitable for farming and animal husbandry. New Zealand has a temperate climate, neither too cold in winter nor too hot in summer. As it is an island country, it's humid all year round. Sometimes, a wisp of cloud comes with a spell of rain. So it's better to take an umbrella when you go out. New Zealand is renowned for the pristine, natural beauty of its environment beyond compare. Many people regard it as the last piece of clean land on the earth. Due to its geographical isolation, New Zealand is home to some unique plants and animals, say the flightless Kiwi birds. Interestingly, however, there are no dangerous animals in New Zealand except some rare poisonous spiders, so you can safely walk anywhere all by yourself. Most animals are protected here. Two years ago, it was reported that an Asian student had been deported for killing wild ducks. New Zealanders, or rather the Kiwis, are friendly and hospitable. The early settlers, the Maori, are thought to have originated from the Pacific islands or Asia over 1,000 years ago. European migration began in the mid-18th century. Today, the majority of New Zealanders are of European descent. In recent years, many people from different parts of the world, such as China, India, etc., have come to live here. New Zealand is now becoming a multicultural society. In the city of Christchurch where I live, the Chinese are estimated to be in the region of 11,000. New Zealand enjoys advantageous social welfare and developed economy reputed for top-quality fruit, meat and dairy products. Service industries, particularly those relating to tourism and education, are also of great significance to its economy. Every year many Chinese tourists and students come to New Zealand to enjoy what it can offer. New Zealanders lead an easygoing, relaxed lifestyle. It seems that joie de vivre is well engrained in the national psyche. Rather than falling victim to the busy tempo of modern life as in other developed countries, they have stood their ground retaining all that is old and natural. They enjoy peace in solitude and hate the hustle and bustle of modern life. In short, New Zealand is an idyllic, beautiful place which seems to be a legendary Land of Peach Blossoms in the eyes of the Chinese.
