[NZ] Lake Wakatipu

#0円旅秋 Lake Wakatipu is a picturesque lake located in Queenstown on New Zealand's South Island. It is the third largest lake in New Zealand and is characterized by its unique S-shaped shape. Created by a glacier, the lake is surrounded by steep mountains and the scenery reflected on the lake's surface is amazingly beautiful, attracting visitors. There is an interesting legend about the lake, and a phenomenon called "Lake Wakatipu Breathing" can be seen, in which the water level of the lake rises and falls about every 25 minutes. It is said that this is because a mythical giant lurks in the lake is breathing. In reality, it is a natural phenomenon caused by the influence of wind and air pressure, but it adds to the mysterious atmosphere. Lake Wakatipu also offers activities such as cruises and kayaking. Cruises on the historic steamship TSS Earnslaw are popular, and the view of Queenstown from the lake is also exceptional. The water is so transparent that you can see all the way to the bottom of the lake on sunny days, and the surface of the lake reflects the green of the mountains and the blue of the sky, making it sparkle like a jewel.
