Amazon Quiz: This is the beautiful city of Queenstown in which country?

New Zealand
Answer: New Zealand
If you’ve ever wanted to visit Middle Earth from ‘Lord of the Rings‘ all you’ve had to do is book a trip to New Zealand’s Queenstown, which remains one of the most popular tourist destinations in the southwestern Pacific Ocean island nation.
For those seeking an adrenaline rush, the sport bungy jumping was popularized here by adventurer Allan John “A. J.” Hackett.
With the fourth busiest airport in the country, Queenstown has seen its popularity increase over the years with the most visited time being the ski season which falls between June and September. Tourists flock at this time, and most eventually make their way to Lake Wakatipu, the largest lake in the country. The lowest point of this water body is actually below sea level. This lake also has one of the cleanest waters in the world.
The Gold Rush had made this New Zealand town popular and while the gleaming heaps of yore might not be so readily available today, prospectors know there’s still money to be made searching the Shotover river, and reportedly one can find $50 worth of gold there in a day.
Queenstown, which is named after an Irish town Cobh that had adapted this name after Queen Elizabeth II visited, also celebrates the largest gay pride festival in the southern hemisphere. If you’re in the mood for some of New Zealand’s best wines, this happens to be the spot as well.
