Your eyes swim in the magnificent and wild scenery like a palette, but what your body breathes is full of freshness and clarity.
If you are a person who loves to embrace nature, New Zealand's South Island will definitely make your trip worthwhile.
What are the interesting attractions in the South Island of New Zealand? Let me take you to see them.
Glenorchy The magical Lord of the Rings town Glenorchy is located at the northernmost tip of Lake Wakatipu, about 45 minutes' drive from Queenstown. It is the gateway to many hiking trails and the magical world of Middle-earth.
Glenorchy's spectacular scenery has made it the preferred filming location for blockbusters, including the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and "The Chronicles of Narnia".
With around 500 residents, Glenorchy is a friendly and vibrant city known for its Southern hospitality.
There is a range of accommodation, cafes, restaurants and bars available.
Glenorchy has some of the world's most beautiful walks on its doorstep.
The Routeburn Trail, one of New Zealand's "famous trails", is nearby. During the 3-4 day trip, you can enjoy the majestic peaks and gem-like lakes along the way.
There are also 4-5 day tours of the Leith and Dart Trail and the Greenstone/Kaibos Trail.
Glenorchy is also the source of Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown, so it is also called the Head of the lake.
Lake Wakatipu The clear and beautiful emerald Lake Wakatipu is shaped like lightning and is the third largest lake in New Zealand.
The Dart River is located at the northern end of the lake, where the lake flows in; the Kawarau River originates in Queenstown, where the lake flows out.
Due to violent glacial movement, Lake Wakatipu was formed and is surrounded by mountains.
Among them, Ernslow Mountain is the highest, with an altitude of 2819 meters.
Queenstown is located on the shores of crystal clear Lake Wakatipu, surrounded by majestic mountains.
In addition to Queenstown, the towns surrounding the Lake District include the villages of Kingston, Glenorchy and Kinloch.
Due to the unique shape of Lake Wakatipu, the lake surface forms a unique "tide" phenomenon, with the water surface rising and falling by about 10 centimeters every 25 minutes.
The T.S.S. Earnslaw antique steamship provides several ferries every day to the other end of the lake, Walter Peak. Visitors can enjoy the lake scenery aboard the Earnslaw.
This ancient steamship has become a symbol of New Zealand.
The best way to enjoy the stunning alpine scenery is cruising on Lake Wakatipu on a restored historic steamboat.
Visitors can fish in Lake Wakatipu all year round.
Especially the mouths of the Greenstone River and the Lochy River, where there are huge numbers of salmon, making your trip worthwhile.
In the summer, it is a holy place for swimming to escape the heat and is very popular among tourists.
In the lake area of ??the South Island, a paradise surrounded by the peaks of Lake Wanaka, Wanaka is like a shy girl, hiding her beauty in Lake Wanaka, Lake Hawea and the Southern Alps
Waiting for curious tourists to discover her.
Winter is the busiest season in Wanaka. Ski enthusiasts from all over the world flock here to enjoy extraordinary downhill skiing and snow farms at Cardrona and Treble Cone.
Nordic skiing at the Farm, and of course the most exciting heli-skiing at Mt Harris.
Of course, Wanaka is much more than just a winter playground.
Fishing, hiking, mountain climbing, skydiving and other projects here are open all year round.
From here, you can easily travel to Queenstown, Cromwell and Alexandra for shopping, winery tours or just to kill time in a rustic café.
The real world is left behind.
Although Wanaka is a quiet town, its warm and simple folk customs have given rise to high-quality accommodation experiences, ranging from backpacker inns to high-end B&Bs (bed and breakfast) and boutique hotels.
Glaciers on the West Coast cut through cliff-lined glacial valleys. While many glaciers around the world are melting, the Fox glacier and Franz Josef glacier remain unaffected because they are close to sea level.
