Where is the most beautiful starry sky in the world?

Tekapo, a small town in the South Island of New Zealand, is a famous local tourist attraction. In addition to fishing in summer and skiing in winter, there is also a special tourism project-stargazing.

It is said that there is the cleanest and most spectacular starry sky in New Zealand and even in the world, and UNESCO is also considering making Tekapo the world's first "Starry Nature Reserve".

The night in Tekapo is quiet and bright. In the starry night sky, there is the Southern Cross that can only be observed in the southern hemisphere. If you are lucky, you can still see meteors passing by.

Tekapo, located in the Mackenzie Basin of the South Island, is a small town with a permanent population of only 320. In order to protect the beautiful starry sky overhead, the townspeople spontaneously reduced the lighting from 198 1 and installed lamps in strict accordance with scientific calculation. Since 2005, the town has applied to the UNESCO World Heritage Committee to designate this sky as a "starry nature reserve", hoping that the whole world will realize the importance of having a clear starry sky to mankind.
