We head south with the wind from the southern hemisphere (Part 2).

D6: "The Lord of the Rings Town - Glenorchy". The town is located at the northernmost tip of Lake Wakatipu, a 45-minute drive from Queenstown. The road winds along the lake, surrounded by mountains, vast grasslands, and snow and glaciers that never melt on the distant mountains. Because of the beautiful Lake Wakatipu, this road connecting Queenstown and Glenorchy is known as "one of the most beautiful roads in the world." Call it the road to heaven. D7: Wanaka is a quiet town. The clear water of Lake Wanaka is refracted by the sunlight, making it sparkle. The blue Lake Wanaka is surrounded by the Esperan Mountains. Although it is summer, you can still see the snow-capped mountain tops. D8: Arrowtown - strolling along the main street, Buckingham Street, you will see century-old European-style buildings, old British telephone booths, 19th-century hotels, and classic cars parked on the roadside. Time seems to have gone back. From a former gold rush town to the current filming location of The Lord of the Rings, Arrowtown is now one of the most picturesque settlements in New Zealand. God has blessed this land so much that he has bestowed all the purest colors on the South Island, including the most beautiful sky, the brightest sunshine, the brightest starry sky, the purest lake water, and the beautiful glaciers formed after thousands of years of melting and freezing. She is picturesque, yet beautiful without being ostentatious. It is so quiet that you can hear the whisper of the wind, the footsteps of the clouds, and the singing of the lake. Pure New Zealand. In The Lord of the Rings, this is Middle-earth; outside The Lord of the Rings, this is the last pure land on earth.
