Life advice: Visit this place before leaving Queenstown

I stayed in Queenstown for 4 days, did not play extreme projects, and took a more relaxed route: D1⃣️ Stroll by Lake Wakatipu→Century Steamboat→ Walter Peak Ranch D2⃣️ Deer Park→Sky Cable Car D3⃣️ Glenorchy→Paradise Town D4⃣️ Arrowtown 📍Lake Wakatipu Walk from St Omer Park all the way to Queenstown Beach, the scenery along the way is never enough, I like the boat dock the most, you can tease ducks and watch seagulls fly by here. In spring, you can see cherry blossoms, and you won't get tired of staying by the lake all day. 📍TSS Earnslaw Steamboat A century-old steamboat the same age as the Titanic, shuttles between Queenstown Wharf and Walter Peak Plateau Ranch every day, usually 3~5 shifts a day, actually just a boat back and forth. 🎫Ticket price: Adults 99 dollars, children 49 dollars, children under 4 years old are free The whole journey includes a 1.5-hour steamboat cruise + BBQ barbecue meal or afternoon tea + farm performance, which takes about 3.5 hours in total. 📍Walter Peak Mountain Ranch The end point of the steamboat, this is one of the most primitive plateau ranches in New Zealand, with many cute animals to see. The farm performance show is worth watching, usually including shearing + sheepdog herding sheep. The BBQ buffet in the steamboat project is also eaten at this ranch, and the taste is surprisingly good. 📍Deer Park The most worthwhile place to go in Queenstown! Not only can you encounter various wild animals, but you can also overlook the entire Queenstown. The park is very large and can only be driven in. It costs 55 dollars per car. Prepare change in advance to find a self-service feed bucket to buy feed. You may see sheep, alpacas, sika deer, pigs, wild ducks, cows and other animals. The grassland halfway up the mountain is an excellent position to overlook Queenstown. From here, you will see more animals in the direction of another downhill. 📍Skyline Sky Cable Car A good position to overlook Queenstown, it is recommended to go in the evening, from sunset to dark are very beautiful! But don't eat on it. Cable car ticket: Adults 52 dollars, children 36 dollars, children under 5 years old are free. 📍Glenorchy Town Just around Queenstown, this is known as the place with the most Middle-earth temperament, and it is also one of the locations of The Lord of the Rings. The iconic red house is located at Gleborchy Wharf. If the weather is good, you can walk by the lake. The road from Queenstown to Glenorchy is known as one of the top ten most beautiful roads in the world, but there are actually many similar roads in New Zealand... 📍Paradise Town Further inside Glenorchy is Paradise Town. You can see some ranches along the way. The iconic paradise sign is a must-visit place. However, the road to Paradise Town is not easy to drive. There are several puddles along the way. You need an off-road vehicle. Our SUV struggled on that road, so we returned halfway, and we don't know what the end of Paradise Town is. 📍Arrowtown It's very close to Queenstown, half a day round trip is enough, this is a beautiful place in autumn! Other seasons can be skipped
