Discover the Least Visited Flat Terrain in China: A Hidden Gem Off the Beaten Path

If you visit New Zealand 🇳🇿 and can only choose one must-see attraction, make sure it’s Milford Sound 😼😼. While it may not be the most breathtaking, it offers a unique landscape that our vast and diverse homeland doesn’t possess. Other stunning sights like snow-capped mountains 🏔️, serene lakes, lush grasslands, and majestic glaciers 🧊 are indeed beautiful, but they can also be found at home. The fjord, however, is a one-of-a-kind experience that should not be missed ☝🏻
