New Zealand Travel | Top 10 Amazing Lakes in South Island

|The top ten stunning lakes in South Island are all so stunning that they make you scream. Lakes are an important part of New Zealand's many types of landscapes: the many lakes of the South Island, each with its own unique look: 1. Blue Lake Nelson National Park Known as the clearest lake in the world, it is so clear that it is breathtaking and is regarded as "sacred water" by the local Maori tribe. 2. Lake BrunnerMoana A holiday destination for Christchurch locals. There are native trees on the lakeside. You can sail in the lake or fish for trout. 3. Lake Matheson West Only 6 km from Fox Glacier, on a clear and cloudless day, the lake will reflect the reflections of New Zealand's highest peaks, Mount Cook and Mount Tasman. 4. Lake TekapoTekapo - Rock powder flows into the lake along the glacier, making Lake Tekapo appear rich green. The Ten Starry Sky Reserve and the Ten Good Shepherd Church are pilgrimage sites for every tourist. 5. Lake PukakiTekapo on the way to Mt Cook The lake water here is a complex and varied light blue color. Lake Pukaki is like a sparkling blue gem inlaid in a majestic mountain. 6. Lake Ohau near Tekapo and Pukaki It is one of the three largest lakes in the ancient glacial valley of the Mackenzie Basin in South Island, New Zealand (the other two are Lake Tekapo and Lake Pukaki). Although the three lakes are very close, they are less famous. In winter, the Aohu Ski Resort is one of the ski resorts loved by locals. 7. Lake Waikatipu Shaped like lightning, it is the third largest lake in New Zealand. The Dart River is located at the northern end of the lake, and the lake water flows in from there; the Kawarau River originates in Queenstown, and the lake water flows out from here. Due to the violent glacial movement, the current Lake Wakatipu was formed. 8. Lake WanakaRippon Winery View In addition, the famous lone tree in the lake is the image of Lake Wanaka. Animals will roost on the tree in the lake overnight and leave when the sun rises. 9. Lake Hawea Wanaka The scenery of lakes and mountains, walking to Isthmus Peak, with Lake Wanaka on the left and Lake Hawea on the right, the stunning beauty cannot be described in words
