Tekapo is a small town on New Zealand's South Island．But millions of people from all over the world have visited it already．What makes Tekapo so attractive(有吸引力的)?The answer will surprise you-it's the starry(满天繁星的)night sky!
While other places greet the night by lighting up(照亮)their streets,Tekapo goes the other way-the little town prefers to be in the dark．It has made laws to protect the quality of the night sky and keep the sky dark to bring out the stars．In the town,all outdoor lighting must be switched off between 11 pm and sunrise(日出)so that people can fully enjoy the beauty of the night sky．As a result,about 1.4 million people visit the town every year to watch its clear night sky with countless(无数的)stars shining．
The local people are proud of the beautiful view of Tekapo's night sky and call it“the park in the sky”．Would you like to go and have a look at the“park”one day?
