Located between Christchurch and Queen Town, Lake Tekapo lies in the heart of the Cook Mountains Basin and MacKenzie. Around Lake Tekapo, beautiful and charming, surrounded by golden sunshine shrubs and white snow, endless snowy mountains, with rocks in glaciers, give the lake a milky blue colour. In the process of melting glaciers in the southern Alps into lakes, the rocks in the glaciers break into fine powders, thus forming a wonderful color.
