Lake Tekapo is really well-deserved. When I saw it on a sunny day, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was so blue that I doubted my life! 💙 Many people think the lake is not blue just because the weather is not right! A sunny day will definitely shock you! No need to edit! Here are a few places I recommend, you can follow my route, I strongly recommend you to go, you can take 800 photos!!! 1️⃣ Go to "Astro Cafe" in the morning. This coffee is amazing! I would call it "the most beautiful cafe on earth" ☕ The most worthwhile place in Tekapo! No objection! The cafe is located at the "University of Canterbury Observatory", you must go here first, because it is only open until 2 pm, and vehicles entering the observatory need to queue, but we only waited for 20 mins, not too long... You can order some food and drinks to take pictures on the table, just learn from me how to take pictures hahaha 📸 (It is said to be open only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so we went on Friday to be safe) 2️⃣ There is a ⛰ big rock a few steps down from the cafe!!! You must go! A great place to take photos! I am tired of saying it, you will regret it if you don't go... 3️⃣ Then go to "Lake McGregor Campervan Site", a treasure place discovered by our group. The trees 🌲 by the lake are very beautiful. Sisters with good balance can sit on the trees to take pictures, like the movie poster of "Flipped"! 4️⃣ After going down the mountain, go to "Church of the Good Shepherd ⛪️", which is also a must-see church in Tekapo! You can walk to the lake from the church, and there are many lupines 🌸 this season, which are super beautiful~ 5️⃣ If you want to have fine dining for dinner, you can go to "Dark Sky Diner" 🍽 with a good view. If you don't care about the environment, you can go to "Ramen Tekapo" 🍜. Asian food is not bad, which comforted my Chinese stomach!

#church #100 Ways to Travel The stone church next to Lake Tekapo in South Island, New Zealand #Good Shepherd Church, stands quietly by the blue lake, isolated and independent, with a lonely beauty. This is also a UNESCO-certified stargazing spot, known as "the most ideal stargazing spot in the world" because there is no obstruction or light pollution around, and you can see a sky full of stars and the brilliant Milky Way. The Church of the Good Shepherd was built in 1953 to commemorate the early settlers here. It is small but solemn, with a sheepdog statue on the east side. In addition to passing tourists, there are also many newlyweds who come here to take wedding photos, which are so beautiful! If you are lucky enough to stay a night in Lake Tekapo, in addition to taking photos of the starry sky at the Church of the Good Shepherd, you can also join a stargazing tour at the observatory and gaze at the deep, beautiful and mysterious Milky Way through the astronomical telescope. #NewZealandSouthIslandSelf-driving #ChurchoftheGoodShepherd #LakeTekapo #Church #100TravelWays

👍Recommended Reason: Tekapo, located in the central part of New Zealand's South Island, is a very famous lake. The biggest highlight is that you can see the most beautiful starry sky in the world here. 📍Must-Visit Attraction: Church of the Good Shepherd. An excellent spot for night photography of the starry sky and Milky Way, giving your Milky Way a beautiful backdrop. 📍Travel Tips: Mt. John Summit Walk, a panoramic hiking route around Lake Tekapo.

When you are at Lake Tekapo and visiting the Church of the Good Shepherd, do pop by the sheepdog memorial just ~100m away. History: In 1855 James Mackenzie, a Scottish shepherd turned sheep stealer discovered the basin that now bears his name when he, with the help of his dog Friday, drove flocks of sheep inland to avoid being discovered. Authorities were finally able to capture Mackenzie, but struggled to take control of the sheep due to his highly intelligent dog. It is alleged Friday continued to drive the sheep without his master's control until finally being disabled by the authorities. A bronze memorial to working collie dogs, such as Friday, was commissioned in 1968 by local farmers and now stands on the shores of Lake Tekapo near the Church of the Good Shepherd. #newzealand #travel #Sheepdog

On a sunny day, we drove from Christchurch to Lake Tekapo. It took about three hours. We came across some small towns on the way but we had no time to stop. When we arrived, we walked to the historic Church of the Good Shepherd. This small stone church is very unique. If you want to go inside, you must pay attention to the opening hours: Tuesday morning 9-8pm; Sunday 4pm-5pm. We arrived on Wednesday so we didn't get a chance to visit. Then we walked along The Tekapo Lake, the lake was calm, very blue, very beautiful! The Church and the Lake were such scenic spots that worth taking more photos. If you have plenty of travel time, or if you like stargazing, you can consider staying one night to participate in stargazing or soaking in hot springs for a fee. #nice lithle town #stargazing

Lake Tekapo is a small town located at the southern end of the lake of the same name in the inland South Island of New Zealand. Yep, Lake Tekapo is literally one of the best places in the world for stargazing.

You can enjoy the stars by simply hopping into your car, getting out of town, finding a safe place to pull over, and stargazing away from artificial lights.

New Zealand's Pukaki Lake is not far away, is the famous Lake Tekapo with the Shepherd's Church. Tkapo Lake is the most impressive or the blooming Lu Hanhua This kind of bouquet is only available at this time. I heard that the flower language of Lu Binghua is maternal love and happiness small question is a child who is very violent and very small devil very personality, unruly I admit this like me. But most of the time he is mild and optimistic, intimate and warm I often feel that I am not spending time and energy to accompany him but he is holding me as a little princess. Especially care about what I said He thinks that mom is a very interesting person I think "my mother is the most beautiful and best" I seem to have seen 20 years After that, we get along like a good friend chat and talk about the wine. Maybe he doesn't know what "Love one is to let TA live, let TA do what you like" The world of adults is still very good It is difficult to have that kind of selfless love but on his body I can often inadvertently receive the most direct and purely emotional expression. So whether you are a partner or a wife and a mother , what should be done is to maintain your personality and keep it from being eroded by the elegance wisdom and peace and tolerance and h// The ability to love people who are important to you and make them feel happy and happy is more worthy of being loved. Really grim I think it should be that you are ready to not be a bad person in the eyes of others At that time, you are the ones that the world cant hurt.

I checked into #hakahouse hostel, a cozy and modern hostel with a great communal atmosphere. The hostel’s location was perfect, just a short walk from the lake. I spent the evening relaxing and enjoying the view of the lake from the shore, with the iconic Church of the Good Shepherd in the foreground. Day 2: Lake Tekapo Peninsula Walkway The next morning, I set out on the #Lake Tekapo Peninsula Walkway, a peaceful trail that offered breathtaking views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. The walk took me through golden tussock grasslands and along the peninsula’s edge, where I could see the vibrant blue waters from different angles. The trail was quiet and serene, and I stopped often to take photos and soak in the beauty. The highlight was reaching the viewpoint at the end of the peninsula, where I had a panoramic view of the lake and the distant snow-capped peaks. Day 3: Exploring Lake Tekapo On my final day, I decided to explore more of Lake Tekapo. I started with a leisurely stroll along the lake’s edge, passing the ⛪Church of the Good Shepherd and the nearby bronze statue of a sheepdog, a tribute to the region’s farming heritage.
