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.

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.

Lake Hawea, the sister lake that lives next to Lake Wanaka, is the same north-south direction, the same narrow and long shape, the same beautiful lake and mountains. The scenery of Lake Hawea is not inferior to Lake Wanaka, but due to the fame index, lakeshore traffic, famous landscape, and the distance from the main road of tourism, there are obviously fewer tourists. Touring Lake Hawea, there is a special charm. The twisting lake shoreline brings a rich landscape level; some condescending viewing spots, the blue lake is unobstructed and beautiful; no one is crowded, more comfortable and comfortable.

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. 😊👍

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!

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.

This New Zealand tour must go to Queenstown, Queenstown this observation deck must climb up, if you drive by yourself, you can also drive there. Originally, I climbed a hiking mountain road and accidentally harvested these blockbusters.

The lakes in New Zealand, especially on the South Island, are really intoxicating, regardless of the size of the lake. The background reflection of the snowy mountains in the clear lake always gives people the poetic and picturesque feeling in the fairy tale world.
