If you plan to drive, please note: Japan does not recognize Chinese driver's licenses, so you cannot rent a car and drive directly. In New Zealand, with a valid Chinese driver's license and an English translation issued by an authoritative organization, you can legally drive. Both countries drive on the left side of the road. New Zealand's rural roads are often winding and narrow, so strict adherence to traffic rules is necessary, particularly paying attention to the "give way to the right" rule at roundabouts. Never drive while fatigued.
