I went to a vineyard in Wanaka and the view was beautiful and photos turned out to be great! 🏞
Wanaka Town is a very beautiful small town in New Zealand, located on the famous Wanaka Lake. There are no tall buildings there, they are small houses with up to two floors, and the environment is very quiet and elegant. There are many small bars and restaurants by the lake, where you can eat, taste the food, while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Lake Wanaka, it is really very relaxing.
About 1.5 an hour's drive north of Queenstown. The town is located in a great location surrounded by mountains and lakes, and there is no over-commercial development, adding a lot of slow-living atmosphere to the town. Wanaka Lake and Lonely Tree are must-see attractions
The most famous is that very gentle tree standing alone in the lake and waiting for everyone to take pictures. It is generally recommended to take pictures in the morning or dusk. It is recommended to stay for one night as a relay.
In a good mood, we drove all the way to Wanaka. Finally, we arrived at Wanaka. The scenery was good, but it was because of overcrowding. All the camps were full and we didn't want to miss the beautiful scenery. We drove to nearby Albert town after evening traffic guidance. On the way to the camp, I found a Fish and Chips to have dinner. It was delicious unexpectedly and met the enthusiastic waitress. She said she could park her car in the parking lot outside them, which belonged to the restaurant.
