【皇后镇】瓦卡蒂普湖

Lake Wakatipu is lightning-fast and is the third largest lake in New Zealand. Due to the unique shape of Lake Wakatipu, the lake has thus formed a unique “tidal” phenomenon (more precisely, a large lake or “standing wave”), which rises and falls about 10 cm every 25 minutes. According to the Maori legend, this is because a water monster named Metewu was sleeping at the bottom of the lake. It was the phenomenon that its heartbeat caused the tide of the lake to rise and fall. Visitors can fish at Lake Wakatipu all year round. Especially the estuary of the Greenstone River and the Rocky River, where the huge amount of squid will definitely make you worthwhile.
