Thank you! This seems right, it is a kind of 罗汉松 podocarp. I found another name as well, 柏木陆均松. 罗汉松/陆均松 seem to be closely related.

Thank you Yiching, yes, the common name is 'red pine'. And thank you to Shang (新西兰同!) for the wonderful picture.

(I have been quite amazed to see how much material there is now about this country in Chinese. )
