When a piece of water appeared, the guide told us that the beautiful lake was called Lake Wanaka, the fourth largest lake in New Zealand, with a depth of more than 300 meters. Snow Mountain left a beautiful reflection on the calm lake. After a long drive along the lakeside highway, we temporarily said goodbye to Lake Vanaka and came to Lake Hawea, a sister lake, which corresponds to it. They are located on both sides of the road and are two sister lakes that are not connected with each other. Both lakes are glacial barrier lakes. Most of the lake water comes from melting snow and glaciers. The lake water appears particularly blue in the high mountains. Like other inland lakes on the South Island, it is said that Lake Hawiya and Lake Vanaka were artificially excavated by Maori under the leadership of their great Chief Tilakehaotu. The chieftain had a magical digging stick that could crush all the rocks to pieces, while the sand and stones dug out piled up into nearby hills. We walked from the town of Wanaka along the river across the city to Lake Wanaka. Apart from tourists, there are more local people here. Some of them play with their children, and some of them come here for a picnic. The seagulls and ducks on the lakeside are not afraid of people at all. They enjoy themselves at the shore. Some people in the lake are canoeing. There are also people walking dogs on the shore. Seeing such beautiful scenery and arbitrary flying seabirds, the puppy was excited to run back and forth by the water. Several big trees along the lake have unique and beautiful shapes. Although some of them are still dead branches, these trees are maple trees with red leaves blooming in autumn.

    Lake Wanaka, created 10,000 years ago by huge glaciers, lives next to Lake Hawia, separated by a small piece of silvery white land called the neck. These two lakes surrounded by magnificent peaks have beautiful cobbled beaches and are popular sights for locals and tourists, especially during the long and warm summer months.

    That lonely tree, whenever you see it, is so beautiful, and someone plays the piano for you. The beauty of New Zealand is really beautiful in every corner, and it is natural and uncarved, and there are few places that need tickets.

    Wanaka, located in the Lake District of Wanaka on New Zealand’s South Island, offers a fascinating combination of exquisite living, family entertainment and adventure. There are plenty of cafes, restaurants and fun shops, and sightseeing flights or skydiving can be arranged. In addition, a willow tree in Wanaka has attracted a large number of photographers because of its shape, long in the water, and is famous for local photographer Ice Sheet Chiga named "lonely willow tree", which can be described as one of New Zealand's representative attractions.

    Lake Wanaka is in Wanaka town, about an hour's drive from Queen Town. Wanaka is a beautiful place. The lake is very quiet, very beautiful, very clean and pollution-free. Now the popularity is about the same as Queen Town. Many tourists will go to Wanaka first and then to Queenstown, but most of them travel by car. Wanaka is suitable for staying a few nights. It's absolutely worth staying quietly, enjoying the natural scenery and sleeping until she wakes up naturally. There aren't so many tourists in Queenstown. The town basically has everything. There are small shopping malls, gourmet restaurants, everything. The hotel is also newer, cheaper and equipped than Queen Town. It's really comfortable.

    Skydive Wanaka's parachute jump here is very good. We need to make an early reservation. The weather is usually better in the morning. We jumped at 9 o'clock today. It's already cloudy! Skydiving has two altitudes of 15,000 feet and 12,000 feet. It is recommended that you jump 15,000 feet, because this free time is 60 seconds, better!
