Stroll around Queenstown.
🌟Highlights:
Queenstown is a beautiful town on the South Island of New Zealand and is known as one of the most beautiful places in the world. In September, Queenstown is full of cherry blossoms, and Lake Wakatipu is picturesque and breathtakingly beautiful.
👍Most recommended:
1. Lake Wakatipu: The lake is clear and blue, surrounded by mountains. It is the core attraction of Queenstown, and it feels better when the sun sets.
2. Queenstown Gardens: Located on a small peninsula by Lake Wakatipu, the environment is quiet, and there are many ancient trees around the trail. Here you can take a walk along the lake and enjoy the lake and mountains. It is a good place for leisure.
🌟Others:
1. High Country Farm: One of the oldest highland farms in New Zealand. Here you can watch and get close to animals such as cows, reindeer, and sheep, watch performances such as sheepdogs herding sheep and staff shearing sheep, and you can also ride horses, etc., to enjoy a slow-paced farm life.
2. Queenstown is also a shopping paradise. The shopping area is mainly concentrated on the shore of Lake Wakatipu, with various boutiques and souvenir shops.
