📍South Island, New Zealand. Lake Matheson|Quiet as a mirror, deep as a dream

If you want to find a place to calm your mind during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday Lake Matheson would be my first choice 🔆 It's not big, nor is it noisy. But it is so quiet that it seems as if time has hidden deep in the forest Only a mirror is left on the lake, reflecting the reflections of Mount Cook and Tasman Peak. It is so perfect that one wonders if this is a masterpiece of computer editing. The lakeside trail takes about 1.5 hours to walk around The path is full of wet moss and swaying branches and leaves. It feels like entering a low-key magical journey As you walk, you will feel that you are understood by nature. It's like the hidden emotions and seasonal changes inside All are gently received by this calm water surface If you don’t know where to go during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, I highly recommend going to the South Island of New Zealand Because the weather is cooler, there are fewer tourists and the air is fresher The reflection on the lake is so clear that people want to breathe more air here. This is not a busy holiday, but a time for "inner organization". A slow journey to peel off the skin and see the lake of your own heart. ⸻——Sharing of travel information———— ▪️Location: Lake Matheson, near Fox Glacier on the west coast of the South Island ▪️Transportation: About 5 minutes drive from Fox Glacier Village, there is a parking lot and visitor center ▪️Features: Famous for its reflection of Mount Cook, with a flat trail around the lake, suitable for taking photos and meditating ▪️Recommended time to visit: May-June in early winter when the lake is calm in the morning and the reflections are best, suitable for quiet exploration #Dragon Boat Festival good places
