Enjoy nature! Travel to Tekapo and Mount Cook in New Zealand

💞Reasons why we recommend it: I'm constantly overwhelmed by the beautiful nature of New Zealand's South Island! In this article, I'll introduce two particularly recommended spots: Lake Tekapo and Mount Cook. 😆
1️⃣Live at Lake Tekapo with its milky blue lake and starry sky. ✨Tekapo's iconic Church of the Good Shepherd is a photogenic spot. 📷Live by the lake during the day, and enjoy the beautiful night sky with the Dark Sky Project's stargazing tour at night! Japanese tours are also available, so you can learn about the Southern Hemisphere's unique constellations, including the Southern Cross. ⭐️(At the time of writing, the price for adults was $209: includes guide, transportation to the summit of Mount John, and warm clothing.) For dinner, I cooked lamb chops I bought at the supermarket and had a salmon bowl at the nearby Japanese restaurant, Kohan Restaurant. I was missing rice when I was overseas, so I was so grateful! 🍣

2️⃣ Mount Cook/Aoraki is the top tourist spot in the naturally rich New Zealand. ⛰️ The Hooker Valley Track is about 10km long, but it's a gentle path, so even beginner hikers will find it easy. 🔰 I'm a woman in my 30s who mostly does desk work, but I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery, take photos, and take a leisurely walk, taking about 3:30 round trip. 🥾 I had a truly enriching time, being amazed by the ever-changing natural scenery! ☺️
