Lake Pukaki that makes you linger and forget to return

Lake Pukaki is nestled among the towering mountains of the Canterbury region and is the largest lake flowing from north to south in the northern part of the Mackenzie Basin. Formed by glacial action, it is a moraine-dammed lake known for its distinctive blue color, earning it the nickname 'Blue Milk Lake.' It is deeply loved by tourists. Lake Pukaki covers an area of up to 178.7 square kilometers, is more than 500 meters above sea level, has an average depth of 47 meters, and reaches a maximum depth of 70 meters. The sky-blue water of the lake looks like rich milk poured out. The reason for the lake's enchanting blue color is mainly due to the presence of rock particles and minerals in the water, which can reflect an alluring blue. The shores of Lake Pukaki are the best place to view the majestic Southern Alps. The Alps, with their grand and imposing presence, guard the gentle, serene, and graceful Lake Pukaki like a goddess, casting their reflection into the clear lake water, making the scenery even more picturesque and beautiful. Walking along the shores of Lake Pukaki, the towering distant mountains and the nearby flowers and grasses reflect their beautiful forms on the lake's surface, creating an eternal postcard that is forever etched in the mind, making it hard to forget.
