Lake Tekapo, also known as Lake Tekapo (Lake Tekapo/Takapō), is located in the Mackenzie Basin, which can be reached by driving southwest from Christchurch in three hours. To the north of the town is a green lake, and on the other side of the lake is the majestic Southern Alps. Rock powder flows into the lake along the glaciers on the mountains and is suspended in the lake, giving Lake Tekapo its rich turquoise color. On the edge of the lake you can see the beautiful Church of the Good Shepherd, with stunning views of Mount Cook from the chancel window. There is a "Sheepdog Monument" near the church - a bronze statue expressing the locals' gratitude to the sheepdogs, with the inscription: "Without the sheepdogs, the town would not be what it is today." There are many walking paths along the lake shore. You can hike to Mount John Observatory or Cowans Hill, which is 1,031 meters above sea level, to enjoy the majestic views of the Mackenzie Basin. Similar to the Northern Lights, the Aurora Australis shines in the southern hemisphere's zenith near the poles. Lake Tekapo/Takapō is one of the best places in New Zealand to appreciate this symphony of light and color. The best viewing time is from April to September, when Lake Tekapo is known for its clear nights and lack of light pollution, making it an ideal viewing location. Head to Mount John Observatory, perched atop the mountains and facing south, to enjoy this spectacular natural show of brilliance from an excellent vantage point. Aoraki Mount Cook National Park is home to New Zealand's highest mountains and longest glaciers. This is a pure alpine world composed of steep peaks, huge glaciers and snow fields under the starlight. Although Aoraki Mount Cook has 23 peaks above 3,000 meters above sea level, accessing the mountain is not difficult. Take State Highway 80 to Aoraki/Mt Cook Village. Its location on the shores of scenic Lake Pukaki makes it an ideal base for alpine activities. Away from the distractions of city lights, you can enjoy the magnificent and bright starry sky here.
