Steamer Wharf Review

Steamboat dock, also known as Queenstown Port, is located in the center of Queenstown, on the northwest side of the commercial block. A hundred years ago, the port was mainly used for cargo transportation and handling, and now it has become a special pier for cruise ships. The routes of the cruise Lake Wakatip from Queenstown, including steamboats and catamarans, sail from here. The northeast side of the port is the lakeside green space, and the north side is the food district. From morning to night, this is the most noisy place in Queenstown, in the sound of the flute, the waves slowly, boat, shopping, lake viewing, foraging, art, people coming and going, endless. Near the port and food street, there is a huge New Zealand national bird - a sculpture of a kiwi bird, vivid and realistic, be sure to find her ~ leave a shadow.

Buy a good ticket online in advance and change it directly to the scene. It is very convenient. There are bars on the edge of the pier. Follow the queue in a circle. The boat is very orderly and so the speed is very fast. The staff will also help you take pictures before boarding. Of course, you can also choose not to take pictures.

The gas boat pier is right by the lake. The beautiful scenery here is also the most suitable place for taking pictures in Queenstown. It is recommended to come in the morning, not so many people, it is cooler, New Zealand ultraviolet rays are very hurting. There are many water projects at the pier such as speedboats, leisurely ferry round the island, and even rent a boat to make your private trip. Eat, drink and stay on board, which is another experience. In the evening, you can take a leisurely walk by the lake, there are many tourists, and many Chinese, so it is not lonely, the Chinese legion is a wave after wave.

The steamboat dock can take a steamboat tour of Lake Wakatip. When we arrived, we lined up to visit Lake Vakatip on TSS Ernstlow (TSS Ernstlow is one of the few steamships in the world that are still operating normally, 103 years old, the same year as the Titanic), and the bottom floor was where the crews added coal to the boiler room. Very old way. There is also a piano performance on the boat (in fact, the electronic piano is installed on the piano) to see from the window, from time to time you can see the hovercraft and speedboats wiped off the distance.

The steamboat pier should be the town center of Queenstown. The pier is a small square for tourists to wait for the boat to rest. There are several rows of buildings on the side. It is a shopping center, mainly selling souvenirs and cashmere products. Compared with the price, the price is still a bit expensive.

A beautiful little pier, the highlight is not how many boats start from here every day, but it is often occupied by wild ducks and seagulls. Ha ha. They are not afraid of people at all, and when you walk past it, it reluctantly moves a little bit. Look at the photos, it is interesting...
