New Zealand is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural country, the social culture is affected by many factors, and Maori and European culture constitute the core of this society. At the same time, New Zealand is far away from the Eurasian, American and African continents, and for thousands of years before modern society, few people had stepped onto her land. This unique geographical position also determines her natural, social and cultural differences. This pluralistic and open country, while welcoming cultures and races from all over the world, attaches great importance to maintaining the uniqueness of its own society. Maori culture and natural environment are protected by the government and the whole society. With a population of less than five million and an area comparable to Britain's, the country has landscapes and climates on all continents of the planet, making it popular with travelers, photographers, explorers and extreme sports enthusiasts. As an immigrant country, New Zealand is also the ideal home for people who want to live in peace and happiness.

As the ancestor of the island, the indigenous Maori culture has become a unique and irreplaceable symbol of this country. Before Europeans came to this land, there were different Maori tribes scattered around the South and North Islands, forming a unique way of life, culture and art, and passing on the history by word of mouth. Until the Europeans came here, this primitive situation was changed. Nevertheless, the Maori people have maintained their national traditions and values, emphasizing justice, mutual respect and reverence for taboos, which have become the core of Maori culture.

New Zealand is an internationally-recognized egalitarian "classless" society. Despite more than a hundred years of British rule, this land has not spawned aristocracy and privileged stratum, so opportunities are comparatively equal for all the people living here, which is why New Zealand has always been one of the countries with the smallest wealth gap in the world.
