Successful Bird Catching Techniques and Lulu’s Adventures in Queenstown, NZ

I dove into the must-buy items in Queenstown, as recommended on Xiaohongshu. The Arc’teryx store is conveniently located right at the entrance of the “OUTSIDE SPORTS” collection store. As soon as you step inside, the 🐦 counter greets you on your left, and I immediately set off on a fervent hunt for the perfect pieces.

The array of clothing styles and colors here is far more extensive than what I found at the store in Austria, Europe. In my excitement, I almost missed that the item in picture 5 was actually a women’s style. Thankfully, I double-checked the tags and resumed my search. I spotted the ALPHA high-end hardshell jacket in picture 3, but unfortunately, size L was already sold out, leaving only one M.

Since the jacket runs large and long, the M fit me perfectly, as you can see in picture 1. Without hesitation, I headed straight to the checkout! Just a note: it’s not ideal for layering with very thick clothes. The price tag was 1,599.99 New Zealand dollars, as shown in the payment record in picture 10.

The Lululemon store in Queenstown, New Zealand, offers some of the most affordable prices outside of Canada. Unlike in China, where Lululemon never goes on sale, the prices here are about 70% of what they are in China. The store is a bit tucked away; remember to turn right at the Starbucks intersection. Be mindful ⚠️ of the business hours—it closes at 6:00 PM, so plan your visit accordingly!

There’s nothing quite like the joy of finding something you truly love 😁.
