Franz Josef Glacier

Early Maori called the Franz Joseph Glacier the Avalanche Girl's Tears, and legend has it that a girl's lover fell to her death from a local mountaintop, and the girl lost her lover, and her raging tears froze into a glacier.

Lake Tekapo

Lake Tekapo, located southwest of Christchurch, in the heart of the Mount Cook Basin and MacKenzie, is a glacial dammed lake. On the south side of the lake is a small town that is sparsely populated, and the mountains in the distance are snow-capped like a paradise. Lake Tekapo is famous for its mysterious color, and the lake has a milky blue color due to the melting of glaciers in the Southern Alps into the lake, where the rocks in the glacier break into a fine powder. You can walk along the lakeside trail, breathe in the fresh air, feel the embrace of nature, enjoy the beauty of the lake, and many tourists use this place as a base to visit Queenstown. Lake Tekapo and the smaller nearby Alexandrina, McGregor and Conway are great places to fish for brown trout and rainbow trout during the right season. In winter, the snow-capped mountains around Lake Tekapo become a base for downhill and cross-country skiing, and the surrounding citizens will choose to spend their winter holidays here.

Be flexible and respond to nature's gifts with speed, and you have the final say in your driving time every day.
