Travel guide to Queenstown, a famous tourist town in New Zealand, suitable for checking in and taking photos📸

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Queenstown is a famous tourist resort city in New Zealand. Thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing and vacation every day. This time I will introduce a travel guide about Queenstown. Queenstown: Surrounded by the Southern Alps and located on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, the houses in the town are built facing the lake and leaning against the mountains, in an orderly manner. It was named because the colonists believed that the beautiful scenery here should belong to the Queen of England. It is also famous for its rich and diverse outdoor activities and is also known as the "Adventure Capital of the World." Lake Wakatipu: The second longest lake in New Zealand, with an area of ​​291 square kilometers, a length of 84 kilometers and an average depth of 300 meters. Due to its special geographical conditions, changes in wind pressure in the surrounding mountains form "lake earthquakes", leading to a unique "tidal" phenomenon, in which the water level rises or falls by about 7.5-20 cm every 6 minutes. According to Maori legend, this phenomenon is caused by the heartbeat of the giant Mata'u who is sleeping at the bottom of the lake. There is still a "good friend" on the lake that has been accompanying it for more than a hundred years. She is the "Lady of the Lake" TSS Earnslaw.
