I thought 7 was the minimum ;D

I'd figure on 2 or maybe 3 days per CNX/HKG/PEK/PVG/SIN.

Of course you can throw all that out the window and just spend the entire time exploring New Zealand.

I was thinking SYD or AKL, but I all but nixed it because it takes like a full day to get there...

What do you think is the minimum amount of time I need to do SYD and/or AKL properly? 8 days? 9 days?

8 days would be enough for SYD and CNS.  10 days to include MEL as well.
Probably need 10 days for AKL.

By AKL I mean the entire New Zealand, lots to do and lots of driving.

Ah, another reason not to do SYD/AKL in April: it's the middle of fall...
