The early morning in Tekapo really has a sense of the sacred, with churches, lakes, snow-capped mountains, and Tindar effect beams of light falling through the clouds. Compared to the amazing blue color of the afternoon, Tekapo Lake takes on a sacred atmosphere in the morning.

Drive about 3 hours southwest from Christchurch to the picturesque Lake Tekapo.

Tekapo comes from the Maori word for taka (sleeping pad) and po (night) - a name that sounds very charming.

Lake Tekapo is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, like a big arm, around this blue, jewel-like lake, where you can see the Southern Cross only in the southern Hemisphere can be observed, and if you are lucky, you can see meteors across the sky, which is famous for the world's best stargazing places.

Lake Tekapo has more to offer than that, and is a destination for all seasons. The most beautiful place in New Zealand in summer should be the Tekapo ice Sea, the snow capped mountains and mountains, the endless gorgeous ice sea in front of your eyes.

A clear path quickly leads to the famous ChurchoftheGoodShepherd, built in 1935 and named after a sculpture of a sheepdog, a tribute to the pioneers ofthe fields and Mackenzie region ofthe past. It's very memorable.

The Church of the Good Shepherd! The Church of the Good Shepherd! Shepherd's Church is one of the loneliest churches in the world and the smallest in New Zealand, located on the shores of Lake Tekapo in southern New Zealand.

The location of the church is sparse, light damage is very little, is a famous stargazing resort. The stars seemed to be within reach. It is recommended to stay in the small town of Lake Tekapo for a night to enjoy the beautiful scenery as well as an unforgettable stargazing trip.

This beautiful stone church on the shores of Lake Tekapo in New Zealand, set against a backdrop of vast mountains and rivers, is where many couples choose to get married.

Many couples choose to have their wedding here. From the window of the church's chancel, you can see the most spectacular view of the Southern Alps.

Be sure to buy salmon pie and pork pie at fairlie bakehouse! (Closes at 4 o 'clock is a happy worker), I never like to eat pie, I think it is delicious.

Shepherd Church is next door to Tekapo Lake, personally feel no Pukaki lake good-looking, there is a supermarket near the church after buying to go to super American Braemar Station stay, off-season 2 people get a super big house.

Night stargazing can only participate in the local stargazing group, you can advance to the next stargazing app, see the rising position of the Milky Way.

Be a kid on the tekapo playground. Four Square supermarket has a children's playground with swings, zip lines and slides. There are not many restaurants around Tekapo, and this is the only one on the lake with a great view of the lake! Dark Sky Diner, a small restaurant with a decent Western taste. Make sure to reserve your place in advance.
