Dragon Boat Festival Tour @ Mount Cook, New Zealand's Highest Peak

#Dragon Boat Festival good places Mount Cook, whose full name is Aoraki/Mount Cook, Aoraki is the name given by the local aborigines, meaning "top of the clouds"; and Mount Cook was named to commemorate Captain Cook, the British who first discovered New Zealand and the east coast of Australia in the southern hemisphere. Mount Cook, 3,764 meters above sea level, is located in Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. It is the highest peak in New Zealand and the top of the Southern Alps in the South Island. The peak is covered with ice and snow all year round. This mountain range has 15 peaks above 3,000 meters and as many as 140 peaks above 2,000 meters, one-third of which are covered with snow all year round. There are many glaciers hidden in the valleys of the mountains. One hundred and fifty million years ago, this place was still a piece of land submerged in the sea. After hundreds of millions of years of countless mountain-building movements, they gradually emerged to the surface, forming the majestic scene of today's rolling mountains. I came to New Zealand's South Island during the Dragon Boat Festival just to see the majestic Mount Cook and the Southern Alps. Blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains, glaciers, streams, blue lakes, green fields and forests of varying shades... This is Mount Cook, which has come all the way for you. Climbing Mount Cook Snow Mountain during the Dragon Boat Festival is quite a special experience!
