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.

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 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.

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.

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!

This is a small lake in Queenstown, and the water here is also very clear. On both sides of the lake are dense forests, and in the distance are snowy snowy mountains. Every autumn, the ginkgo trees here will turn golden. The scenery is really indescribable in words. It is so beautiful.

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.

This is Queenstown's most classic hiking route, the whole line down about 30 kilometers, everyone along the lake trail, jogging or cycling. The scenery on this trail is very beautiful, especially in autumn, the golden ginkgo trees are like wrapped in gold, really super beautiful.
