我行我述的Winny
The water of Lake Wakatip is particularly blue! The whole scenic spot is completely free, you can take a walk on the lake, there are flowers and leaves in spring, you can play water projects in summer, and you can enjoy snow in winter. It is especially suitable for all year round travel, and each has its own beauty! 🌹 Although there are only one or two thousand people in the lakeside town of Queenstown, it is a tourist! There are food from all over the world, so I am not afraid that you will not be used to it. 😊👍

Lake Wanaka, created 10,000 years ago by huge glaciers, lives next to Lake Hawia, separated by a small piece of silvery white land called the neck. These two lakes surrounded by magnificent peaks have beautiful cobbled beaches and are popular sights for locals and tourists, especially during the long and warm summer months.

The timing of our trip was great, the suspension bridge that must pass the road was closed for maintenance the next day, and the tourists in the hotel who were suddenly cancelled were sent back by the bus.

Lakes
旅の径
New Zealand has many lakes, mostly surrounded by mountains, winding shorelines, clear lakes and pleasant scenery. It is a great tourist attraction. Located in the middle of the South Island, Lake Pukaki is unique and worth a visit. One is that the lake is rich in rock particles and minerals, and under the sun, it maps out a distinctive blue, dreamy and attractive, and has the reputation of "blue milk lake". The other is that the lakeside is the best position to overlook the Cook Mountains. On the sunny day, standing on the south Alps of the north bank of Pukaki, 55 kilometers away, is clearly visible. The highest mountain is Mount Cook. The third is the lifelike statue of Tar sheep. Tar sheep native to the Himalayas, live between high mountain cliffs, are a first-level protected animal in China, and are listed in the world as a "near-risk" animal list. In 1904, an Englishman brought five Tar sheep to the South Island, because there was no natural enemy, Tar sheep flourished in the Cook Mountains, becoming the favorite animal for European and American hunters to hunt in New Zealand. In 2014, the handsome and powerful statue of Tar sheep was erected on the shore of Lake Pukaki to commemorate the achievements of the people concerned in protecting the sheep worldwide. Taking a photo with the statue is the best choice for all tourists. Fourth, the shore of Pukaji Hunan, opened the Cook Mountain salmon farm, the salmon meat produced is compact and fresh, cheap and good quality, many food lovers come to taste and buy.

旅の径
New Zealand has many lakes, mostly surrounded by mountains, winding shorelines, clear lakes and pleasant scenery. It is an excellent tourist attraction. Lake Tianau, New Zealand's second largest lake, and the largest lake on the South Island. Compared with the famous "two watts" (Wakatip Lake, Wanaka Lake, Tekapo Lake), the uniqueness and ornamental nature of the landscape are slightly lower, and the popularity index is lower. Because it is on the main road to Milford Fjord, there is a endless flow of tourists passing by and transiting in the lakeside town overnight. The water planes on the lakeside take off and drop, the lake speedboats enter and exit, and the blue sky and white clouds, the lake and the mountains are interesting, and there is no charm.

Lake Taupo is particularly large, big to like a sea, is a must-see attraction that can not be missed when traveling to New Zealand's South Island! If you live in the city, stroll to the lake, there are many sailing yachts, and there are golf sports directly to the lake. The people of New Zealand are really good at playing. The green space by the lake is also very comfortable to lie in the sun. All hotels in the peak travel season are fully booked and must be booked in advance. There is also a huka waterfall nearby to punch in.

Blue sky, white clouds, lakes, grass are the most attractive places on New Zealand's South Island, and there are these landscapes almost everywhere. And the name of Paradise Town is well-deserved, it feels like being in Paradise here!
