Introduction

On a small hill by the shore of Lake Tekapo, there is an observatory which becomes the best place for stargazing at night. Standing on the summit, you can overlook the milky blue Lake Tekapo and the jewel blue Lake Alexandrina. There is also a small restaurant on the mountain where coffee accompanied by mountain views and starry skies makes people feel extremely comfortable.
