"Mountain"
Ranked #4 in Queenstown Amazing Natural Scenery

"This is definitely a must visit attraction when you live in Queenstown. The beginning of the trail is steep, but if you take it slowly, it's okay, you can finish it easily. It took me an hour to climb to the top of the mountain! Don't stop climbing after the basket of dreams, it will take 20 minutes to get to the top from there, and it's definitely worth it. Some comments say that the scenery at the top is the same as the basket of dreams, which is completely fake. You can see the 360-degree scenery there without any trees blocking it! Go, you won't regret it!"

"The Southern Alps in Queenstown are part of Doubtful Sound, and the scenery here is very similar to the French Alps. The mountains are covered with snow that doesn't melt all year round, and the large areas of snow are popular ski resorts. The whole mountain range is endless, and the scenery is very magnificent, and I sigh the wonders of nature."

梦中的纸马
"Return to Queenstown from the Milford Strait, passing the heliport, and stop on the southern glacier by helicopter. "Global warming, and the melting of glaciers in southern New Zealand, may not be seen again after many years!" The guide's introduction was very tempting. However, the price is really not cheap, equivalent to three thousand yuan per person. It can be seen from the Chinese on the billboard that this project is still quite popular with the Chinese."

"Bob Peak is on the north side of Queenstown, with an altitude of more than 800 meters. In an open area on the southern slope close to the top of the mountain at an altitude of 790 meters, there is the upper station of the sky gondola and the sky gondola restaurant. On the outer edge of the second floor of the restaurant, an L-shaped sightseeing corridor and several protruding viewing platforms are set up . There are many things to see when visiting Bob Peak: 1. Enjoy the beautiful scenery. Take the Sky Gondola to the sightseeing corridors and observation decks to see Lake Wakatipu and Queenstown in a panoramic view. The scenery is invincible and refreshing. 2. Taste the food. Sky Gondola Restaurant enjoys the reputation of "the world's most beautiful restaurant", and it is so popular that it is hard to find. Book a table next to the window in advance, the beautiful scenery is accompanied by the delicious food, it is not pleasant. 3. Seek excitement. Around the upper station of the cable car, there are also fun activities such as dry sledding (skateboarding) and high-altitude bungee jumping, which are thrilling and cool. Standing on the viewing gallery and viewing platform, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Wakatipu and Queenstown at 270º without dead ends. Looking to the south, it is beautiful from far to near. In the distance ~ the undulating peaks of the Excellence Mountains are majestic and majestic. Nearby ~ Queenstown’s roads criss-cross, with rows of roofs lined up. Near and far junction ~ Two peninsulas (Queenstown Golf Course and Queenstown Gardens) and two lake bays (Queenstown Bay and Frankton Bay) on Lake Wakatipu are clearly visible. The sparkling lake, the green peninsula, and the winding and elegant shoreline constitute the most beautiful pictures of Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu. The photos taken are representative works of the beauty of New Zealand."

"The town has a small population, and it is famous for the fresh salmon on the farm. Tourists passing by by car will stop and taste. At the same time, Lake Pukaki is also close at hand, and you can even overlook the highest peak, Cook Snow Mountain."

"The weather in Mount Cook is good. It’s just that when you booked a snow plane, the helicopter return activity was cancelled because of the bad weather on the mountain. It was a pity for two consecutive days. I drove from the Twizel base to the airport under the snow mountain. Asked to wait, and took the shortest trekking route by the way, and the scenery was not bad."

"Hiking up Mount John. Mount John is located on the shore of Lake Tekapo. You can enjoy the beautiful Lake Tekapo and the lakeside town from the top of the mountain. The most notable thing is that there is an observatory on the top of the mountain, which is an important base for space research in New Zealand. Because it is far away from big cities and the sky is clear, it has the most beautiful starry sky at night. It is also one of the four best stargazing spots in the world. It is recognized as the best place to observe the Milky Way and the center of the universe. There is also a coffee shop on the top of the mountain, which is known as the best coffee shop in the world. Climb to Mount John for a cup of star coffee and wait for stargazing"

"Stunning free attractions, the South Island self-driving recommended must-see attractions, the trail is a unique place to enjoy the scenery of the canyon and snow-capped mountains. When I went there, by luck, it had just snowed and the scenery was amazing. I went out of the mountain to buy a box of alpine salmon sashimi by the lake, and the sentence was directly capped 😂"
