One-Day Tour of the Hobbiton Village in New Zealand.

Joined a group tour with friends to visit the Hobbiton village from 'The Lord of the Rings' located in Middle-earth. It's worth noting that they offer tours that include dinner, which allows you to experience the atmosphere of a Hobbit feast, and because it gets darker later, they even provide lanterns to visitors for added ambiance! Unfortunately, the dinner has limited availability and is not offered every day. If you're interested in participating, it's recommended to book at least one month in advance on the official website. I ended up joining just the sightseeing tour because I couldn't make it for the dinner tour. However, friends who did attend the dinner said that the food was delicious and the atmosphere was very engaging. Even just for sightseeing, the colorful cottages and round doors perfectly present a fairy-tale atmosphere that makes you want to keep taking photos. One of the segments even allows travelers to enter a Hobbit's house for a visit. The guide provides detailed explanations at each key movie location, and there's no need to worry if you're not proficient in English and can't join a tour with Chinese guidance. They offer a QR code that you can scan to download a guide app, which automatically pops up with an introduction at each movie scene point, and you can choose the language, which is very thoughtful. This time, I used Trip.com's member coin rebate for booking flights and hotels. As the membership level increases, the rebate percentage also increases. With the mindset of saving where possible and enjoying the trip to the fullest, I thoroughly enjoyed my journey 😎.
