New Zealand: Lake Tekapo - Town & Kohan Restaurant

One of the reason i keep my blog update only once a week is, i feel hard to finish all the update that soon.

It seems like... Once i complete the whole trip, it means everything go to the end.

Yealar i know its ended by end of December la.. but whenever i started to choose photos, edit it, blog it, i feel like i was in NZ. =(

Did the opening tell you, this probably my last post about NZ? Yea because Lake Tekapo was my last destination of my trip. The last place i visited before i went to Christchurch airport.

Lake Tekapo is the place i dreamed of the most before i came to NZ. First saw in a post card, with a amazing winter view. Lake Tekapo famous with its snow covering view. Yet less people concern about the summer of Lake Tekapo, it is as amazing as the photos below.

Church and the lake



The lake


Good Shepherd Church is the landmark of this town, and this is the most beautiful place of the town too.

I stayed there for 3 nights, but i regret i don't even visit the church once, bad timing =(

If you never been Lake Tekapo, or you been there during winter, my advice, visit in summer or spring. Definitely amaze you.

Because summer time, Lupin blossom time. Can you image a purple flower sea nearby the milky blue lake? This is stunning!


Lupin. Good job xiao P!

Lake Tekapo is very small town, with only few resort and few shops, only one main street, no other nothing.

So if you're visiting Lake Tekapo during peak season, make sure you book your hostel, there have only limited beds available.

The first night i stay in the place of my friend who is from Hong Kong, the next day i move to a resort!

Ok, the resort with backpacker unit, which is share room

And the next day i moved to another backpacker hostel WHICH IS IN LAKE FRONT!

Had very good time there. =)

Lake Tekapo famous with the lake, AND THIS JAPANESE RESTAURANT!

Named Kohan restaurant, run by Japanese, served fantastic japanese food.

The most famous is their bento set, alright a bit pricy, but worth the money! If not mistaken, that is 20NZD per set. Don't yell this is expensive till you see the photos!


Kohan!



Kohan, AGAIN



Crazy big set!



Worth the money! See the salmon and tempura?
