Queenstown, named one of the top ten travel destinations in the world by National Geographic 👍Most recommended: Queenstown: Surrounded by the Southern Alps and located on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, the houses in the town are built in a well-proportioned manner facing the lake and the mountains. It was named because the colonists believed that the beautiful scenery here should belong to the Queen of England. It is also famous for its rich and diverse outdoor activities, and is also known as the "Adventure Capital of the World." Lake Wakatipu: The second longest lake in New Zealand, with an area of ​​291K㎡, a length of 84km, and an average depth of 300m. Due to special geographical conditions, the wind pressure changes in the surrounding mountains form "lake earthquakes", resulting in a unique "tidal" phenomenon. Its water surface rises or falls by about 7.5-20cm every 6 minutes. According to Maori legend, this phenomenon is caused by the heartbeat of Mata'u, a sleeping giant at the bottom of the lake. There is still a "good friend" on the lake who has been with him for more than a hundred years. She is the "Lady of the Lake" TSS Earnslaw steamship. TSS Twin Screw Steamer Earnslaw: Known as the “grande dame” of Lake Wakatipu, it made its maiden voyage in 1912 in the same year as the Titanic. It is the only coal-fired steam passenger ship still sailing in the southern hemisphere. A must-see cruise in Queenstown. Friends, come and set foot on this small 19th-century industrial revolution heritage. Listen to its whistling and accompanied by the music of the luthier, travel to the McKenzie Family Farm/Walter Peak Farm and experience the comfortable life of a cowboy. After returning, you can go to the Boradwalk next to the pier to dine. Be sure to choose the outfield by the lake.
