Chapter 291: Queenstown
After leaving Saipan, Li Yang and Tong Shuya came to the South Island of New Zealand, and the trip to Saipan really left Li Yang with very special and good memories.
Whether it is blue hole diving or World War II shipwrecks, to the later experience of speed and passion, and then to fly an airplane, etc., are Li Yang's favorite projects.
Of course, Tong Shuya is also very happy, but in fact, Saipan is mainly an itinerary arranged for Li Yang, while the South Island of New Zealand is a trip that is really prepared for Tong Shuya.
As the last pure land in the world, New Zealand is a desirable country. New Zealand is divided into north and south islands, with the North Island dominated by urban scenery and the South Island having more natural beauty than the North Island.
Whether it's coastal scenery, fjords, mountains, glaciers, lakes, starry skies...... It's heavenly.
This is the filming location of Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings!
Li Yang and Tong Shuya's main destination this time is Queenstown, New Zealand, a beautiful town surrounded by the Southern Alps and Lake Wakatipu, which is like a fairy tale, beautiful and dreamlike.
It is said that back in the days of the colonists, after seeing the scenery of Queenstown, the thought in their hearts was that such scenery could only belong to the queen, so it was named Queenstown.
"That's how Lonely Planet describes Queenstown, and if Queenstown doesn't exist one day, someone will invent it again. Kevin said on the way here.
You may not understand the meaning of this sentence literally, but when you visit Queenstown and stand on the shores of Lake Wakatipu that surrounds Queenstown, you may be able to understand how important such scenery is to the human heart. ”
When Li Yang and Tong Shuya walked into Queenstown, they deeply understood Kevin's words.
Because it is really beautiful, compared to the island, there is a completely different beauty here, the continuous Alps in the distance, Lake Wakatipu in the sun, and the beautiful town, together form an intoxicating picture.
As Kevin said, there is no single absolute beauty in Queenstown.
It's about bringing together the beauty of different parts of the world.
You'll find that there is a little bit of Switzerland, such as the view of a small town hidden at the foot of a snow-capped mountain, like an oil painting in an art museum.
It's a bit like Copenhagen or Venice, with its rows of colourful houses and bustling people by the water's edge, like the bustling Newport district of Copenhagen.
It also had a bit of the appearance of Lugu Lake in Yunnan, and the Alps in the distance had a bit of the beauty he had seen on the way to the west.
In short, it seems to have a thousand faces and colors.
Especially the town's architecture and streetscape, walking in it is really like walking in a fairy tale.
Li Yang and his family stayed in a single-family villa built on the mountain, with an excellent view, not only the beautiful scenery of the Alps, but also the entire lake, not to mention the luxury of the villa.
The main thing is that the whole decoration style is full of local characteristics and quite stylish.
Li Yang: When they arrived, it was already around 4 p.m. local time, and he and Tong Shuya stayed at the hotel for a while, and then took the Skyline cable car to Bob Peak together.
Bob Peak is the best place to enjoy the panoramic view of downtown Queenstown, and as the cable car climbs, the panoramic view of Queenstown is fully presented in front of Li Yang and Tong Shuya.
The town, built on the edge of the mountains and rivers, is like a paradise, with the Alps in the distance and Lake Wakatipu set like a jewel in the mountains.
"It's even more fantastic at night!" says Kevin.
Li Yang: They came to Bob Peak for dinner, and there is a sky restaurant on the top of the mountain that has been voted the best view in the world.
In this restaurant, you can enjoy a better panoramic view of Queenstown, and enjoy the beautiful picture of the landscape and town, and it is also the best place to watch the sunset and have dinner.
Therefore, the evening hours of this restaurant are almost full all year round, and sometimes they can't book them, but this is not difficult for Li Yang and them.
Fisher Travel Agency has already booked a table for Li Yang and Tong Shuya in the best viewing position.
After entering the hotel, Li Yang and Tong Shuya came to their seats under the guidance of the restaurant waiter, and there were many people dining in the restaurant, but there was no noisy feeling, and there were no loud talkers, and the overall feeling was very quiet and comfortable.
Kevin left first, leaving only a photographer who followed him to record Li Yang and Tong Shuya's dining experience here.
Kevin had greeted the hotel early in the morning, but when he saw a photographer, the guests in the restaurant were still very curious, but they just looked at it and withdrew their gaze.
After all, it's not uncommon for people to come here to shoot shows.
Li Yang and Tong Shuya sat in their seats, next to the panoramic glass, and they could enjoy the scenery of the entire Queenstown without dead ends, which was really beautiful.
The waiter brought the menu, Li Yang and Tong Shuya ordered a few signature dishes of the restaurant, the sun had gradually set into the mountains in the distance, and the beautiful sunset reflected the whole Queenstown more softly.
Even the knife-like Alps are extraordinarily gentle, and the turquoise waters of the lake are transformed into an intoxicating jewel, pure and flawless.
And as the sun sets, the town is lit up with thousands of lights, and the street lamps and neon lights on the streets turn into orange light strips, crisscrossing the fairy tale town.
Outline a more moving line, and the lights of the town's thousands of homes are even more starry, intertwining the gorgeous night of the town.
At this time, in the afterglow of the setting sun, the mountains in the distance are still faintly visible, but the town is already brightly lit, and this hazy town exudes a bright neon town that presents a completely different beauty.
The waiters brought the dishes ordered by Li Yang and Tong Shuya one after another, eating delicious dishes and enjoying the scenery outside, which really made people sigh the beauty of life.
"I feel like we're having dinner in the clouds!" Tong Shuya said with a smile.
"Yes, I suddenly want to buy this place!" Li Yang said with a smile, he is indeed qualified to say such things now.
"It's really fake, don't consume impulsively!" Tong Shuya said with a smile, after all, the business here is so good, if you want to buy it, I'm afraid it will cost you a lot of money.
"From the perspective of the company's overall strategic layout and development, it can indeed be used as one of the destinations in the future, so this can really be studied!" Li Yang said with a smile.
"But to be honest, I think the taste here is a little sorry for the scenery here!" Tong Shuya said with a smile.
"Well, indeed, but it's normal, you can hardly see people with the same skin color as us here, maybe it should smell great for them!" Li Yang said with a smile.
Tong Shuya nodded, although the dishes are very ordinary, the scenery outside the window can indeed make up for the lack of food taste, and having a dinner here is indeed an extraordinary enjoyment.
By the time we had finished dinner, it was completely dark, and the mountains and lakes in the distance were no longer visible, and the only thing I could see was the brightly lit town.
When you ride the cable car down, it's like you've traveled from the real world to a fairy tale, and Queenstown exudes an even more unique charm at night.
There are a lot of pedestrians on the street, there are many restaurants and bars on the side of the road, the sound of beautiful music lingers on the street, and you can still see entertainers playing in the shop windows from time to time.
Li Yang and Tong Shuya held hands, wandered together on the streets of foreign countries, quietly felt the customs here, walked around the characteristic shops on the street, tasted local snacks, bought some small objects, and enjoyed the simple and happy things.
