    Standing on the shore of Lake Tekapo, I was shocked by the deep blue, as if the earth cracked a gap, the sky was poured into the lake. The lake surrounded by snowy mountains was calm as a mirror, reflecting the changes of clouds and light. When participating in Earth & Sky stargazing, the Milky Way poured down, the stars were within reach, and the guide's explanation brought the mystery of the universe close to you. Walking along the lake, the white figure of the Shepherd's Church blended with nature, and the tranquility was divine. This is not only a feast of vision, but also a destination for the soul, every moment makes people intoxicated with the pure and tranquil nature.

    The land and sky of Lake Tekapo are extremely pure. The blue sky, snow-capped mountains, icy lakes and grasslands combine to form a beautiful picture here, and the area around the Church of the Good Shepherd is the best place to view the scenery. At night, the starry sky is equally magnificent. Even if you don't join a professional viewing group, you can still see the starry sky with your naked eyes in the town on a sunny day. The street lights on the road are specially made and will not affect the shooting. I was fortunate to stay in the Blue Water Resort with the best conditions in the area, with a beautiful lake view, but the summer in New Zealand is very long, so it will be late to wait until it is completely dark.
