New Zealand
From a tiny British colony to a wealthy $170 billion economy,
New Zealand has evolved and developed dramatically over the
past centuries. The country we see today consists of people of all
colours and religions, living well along with each other,
peacefully and cohesively.
Particularly during the recent decades, New Zealand’s economic
reform has put the nation to a position where more interaction
with the rest of the world is experienced. Among all economies
who maintain a relationship with New Zealand, China has
become a dominant partner and source country in areas of
trade, tourism, education and migration.
Incredible natural scenery with unique culture, stunning purity,
and ultra-friendly local people make New Zealand one of the top
travel destinations on this planet. In the March 2016 year, a total
of 3.26 million people visited Aotearoa, of whom 377,800 visitors
came from China, 10% higher than previous year. Thanks to a
stablised Chinese economy and a number of measures by the
New Zealand government, including simpler visa application
process for Chinese nationals and improvement of signage in
Chinese language, the tally of Chinese visitors to this land of long
white clouds is expected to grow further.

各信仰的人们，勤恳友善，和谐相处。
特别是在最近几十年中，新西兰经济改革将其重心由农业活动转移到
了与世界相互动。在其众多贸易伙伴中，中国已在商业、旅游、教育
和移民等领域逐渐成为新西兰首要合作伙伴及资源国。
秀丽的自然景观、独特的文化、难觅的纯净感和朴实友好的人民是新
西兰成为地球上最佳旅游目的地之一的主要推动力。2015～2016年
度共计326万人次到访新西兰，其中包括37万7千8百人来自中国，较
前一年同时期上涨10%。受益于中国国内的稳定经济，以及新西兰政
