📍South Island, New Zealand. Lake Tekapo|There is a kind of blue called Tekapo Blue

I'm in New Zealand during the Dragon Boat Festival When we reached Lake Tekapo, the weather was very sunny. The lake is so blue that it looks like someone has secretly poured in blue ink. And the Shepherd's Church sits on this blue Quietly, without saying much It's like a gray stone dumpling, containing a story of a whole century. As I walked around the church, I recalled the scene of making zongzi at home: Glutinous rice, chestnuts, pork, and the laughter of family members The small church in front of us has windows facing the lake and snow-capped mountains. There is no incense inside, but it makes people feel a faint respect in their hearts. If you insert mugwort into the cracks of the stone wall here I wonder if it will attract the ghost of a shepherd from afar. Let's enjoy a Dragon Boat Festival without the hustle and bustle? There are no dragon boat races in June in the southern hemisphere But when the wind blows across the lake, the ripples look like the traces of oars. It seems like someone is secretly thinking about something Perhaps, in this place far away from the hustle and bustle The festival only needs a little memory and a little wind, which is enough to make people feel at ease and miss home. ⸻——Sharing of travel information———— ▪️Location: Church of the Good Shepherd, Lake Tekapo, South Island, New Zealand ▪️Features: The stone chapel, lake view and snow-capped mountains are a famous photography landmark ▪️Transportation: Self-driving from Christchurch for about 3 hours ▪️Best time to visit: During the day, there is plenty of sunshine and the scenery is clear.
