What is special about New Zealand?
(Baonghean.vn) - New Zealand is known as the "land of adventure in the world". On the occasion of Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc's visit to New Zealand, let's explore the special things about this country.
1. Peaceful country without noise and bustle
 |
| New Zealand is a developed country located in the southwest Pacific Ocean, located on the map next to Australia. The area is approximately the same as Vietnam with a population of only about 4 million people. New Zealand was once the country with the highest living standards and income in the world during the Second World War. At that time, this place was the main agricultural producer for the world (butter, milk, meat...) until the 80s when the economy declined but was still in the top 20 leading economies in the world. |
2. The land of bare feet
 |
| In New Zealand, people can go barefoot everywhere, from supermarkets and restaurants to bars. This is especially true in the summer when you will hardly see anyone wearing shoes, as shoes have never been a compulsory item for the people of this country. |
3. No need to pay at the table when dining out
 |
| In many other countries, you pay the bill at the table after you finish eating. In New Zealand, you go to the counter and pay. Even in small restaurants, the cashier will just calculate based on what you say without checking the table. Simply because they trust you. |
4.Wildlife right next door
 |
| In New Zealand, you don’t have to travel thousands of kilometers to see wild animals like seals, dolphins, whales, etc., but you can see them right next to your house. When you come to New Zealand, you can live in harmony with nature in the best way. |
5. New Zealand Cuisine
 |
| For New Zealanders, the main ingredients for food preparation are meats: lamb, beef, pork or venison... They often have the habit of eating at restaurants, eateries or fast food stores, this is considered a leisurely pleasure, however, dinner at home is still considered the main meal for most New Zealanders. |
6. Rugby - the most popular sport
 |
| In New Zealand, besides rugby, it is the most popular sport. The team of this sport is very strong and known to Rugby lovers. Even in schools and sports cultural centers, you can easily find rugby groups. |
7. Catholicism is the main religion in New Zealand
 |
| Catholicism is the main religion in New Zealand, and the majority of people here follow this religion. Besides, other religions are also present here, such as Christianity, which was introduced to the Maori people by Christian missionaries in the 19th century, and these religions are respected by the people. |
8. The Lord of the Rings movie set
 |
| Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings was filmed all over New Zealand. The success of the film has placed New Zealand firmly on the Hollywood film map. From Hobbiton to Mordor, from Lothlórien to the Mines of Moria, millions of tourists have flocked to the country to see the magical landscapes created by nature. |
9.Auckland - the city of sails
 |
| Although not the capital of New Zealand, Auckland is the largest and most culturally diverse city in the island nation. Formed from ancient volcanic eruptions and surrounded by the Manukau and Waitemata harbours, Auckland is considered a dream harbour city. |
 |
| New Zealand experiences around 15,000 earthquakes each year, but most of them are too deep for people to feel. However, around 150-200 earthquakes are felt each year, with varying degrees of damage. Most buildings in New Zealand are designed to withstand and accommodate the shaking that occurs when an earthquake occurs. |
