Essential Guide to Rotorua in the North Island of New Zealand

Rotorua, a geothermal city on the North Island of New Zealand, is replete with geothermal resources throughout the city and is a major residential area for the Maori people. Don't miss these highlights! 📍Geothermal Park, a must-visit! Don't miss the hot spring performance at 10:15! It's recommended to arrive at 9:30, as it takes time to get tickets and park. Park tickets are cheaper on Ctrip than on-site, and it takes about 5-10 minutes to issue tickets. The entire geothermal park takes about 4 hours of walking + photography, with the most distinctive features being the geothermal lake in the video and the green lake at the end, which is super super green 📍Redwood Forest (Daytime) Several free hiking routes, about 2 hours 📍Redwood Forest Light Show (after 6:30PM) Paid, around 50 New Zealand dollars, recommended around 7 PM, as it's too early if it's still light out, and parking gets difficult later. A must-visit! 📍Mud Bath at Hell'sGate 85 New Zealand dollars per person, includes a 20-minute hot spring mud bath and unlimited natural hot springs, very fun 📍Accommodation, I chose a park campsite, the rooms are average, quite affordable, with a kitchen, and also a free hot spring (check when booking), a bath after a day of fun, and a very good sleep 📍Kiwi National Conservation Center, now merged with a farm, visited in a Tour format, Kiwi is New Zealand's national bird, worth a visit as a tourist spot

Wonderful Enriching Experience in Rotorua

Getting There - by car from Hamilton Attractions - took the tour of Te Puia Thermal Reserve with a concert of songs, dance and, of course, the Haka. The tour took us through the New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute. and the kiwi conservation centre, ending at the geyser terrace where you get close encounter with steam and sulphuric mist from geyser eruptions. We'd love to stay longer but for the incessant rain 🌧️

In the traditional diet culture of the Maori people, there is a unique cooking method called "Hangi". Tasting a Maori Hangi feast and experiencing the authentic Maori style is one of the must-have experiences when visiting New Zealand. Mouri's traditional pit-roasting method involves digging a hole in the ground, heating many round stones in the pit, then sealing fresh ingredients such as pork, lamb, potatoes, and sweet potatoes with leaves or tin foil, placing them on the hot stones in the pit, and finally filling the gaps with mud or leaves to ensure heat retention. After 3-4 hours of roasting, the pit-roasted delicacies that come out of the oven not only emit a hot and fragrant aroma, but also taste fresh and tender. This time, we entered the Te Pā Tū Maori cultural village in Rotorua, watched the characteristic performance, and tasted the authentic Maori oven-roasted food in candlelight and music. Friends from all over the world gather together, singing, eating, and drinking. At this moment, music is the bridge that connects different countries. Ariana, the daughter of a tribal leader, is talented in singing and dancing. Whenever someone mentions their own country, she can sing a song from that country, be it China, England, Wales, France, Denmark, Thailand, India, the United States, the Philippines... She's amazing!

Maori Cultural Village has the birthplace of the world famous Puhutu geyser, mud pool, hot springs, New Zealand national birds, kiwis and wood carvings. mysterious, wild, passionate, deep, these words can basically sum up the feelings of New Zealand's Maori culture. It is said that the Maori came to the Pacific Ocean on this unknown land more than a thousand years ago and became the earliest indigenous aborigines in New Zealand. The essence of Maori culture is basically embodied in rich cultural heritage, including carving, weaving, and tattooing. Maori are also particularly good at using geothermal energy to cook unique local cuisine. In the Mitai Maori Cultural Village, you can basically experience all aspects of Maori culture! I thought it was a special village. The result was a very modern place... I smelled the smell of rotten eggs when I entered the door. There is a volcanic geothermal fountain here, far away. The fountain is gone. There is also a volcanic mud, a spray and a spray, this do not know the effect of the mask ~ do not see kiwi, go to see the fountain, the smell of rotten eggs is getting more and more concentrated, also spewed from time to time, quite spectacular .

Who did not play Lego when he was a child? Let's take a look at the real Legoland! Legoland Malaysia The entire park is oval, and the park and water park are separate and can be circled. Going forward is LEGO's miniature world. Here you can see the famous Asian buildings made with Lego. The landmark twin towers in Malaysia don't have to be said, as well as China's Forbidden City and Great Wall! My Great Hall of the Taihe and the Great Wall, the structure of the building is still very carefully imitated, but the focus is on the front of the Forbidden City, there is a table, the above is a stupid dragon, and there is a drum team behind. There is a soundtrack button under each group of LEGO buildings. You can hear the sound of knocking and drumming with a click, which is too cute. Look at Lego in other cities. All of them are stacked together by Lego, and there is no laziness. Singapore with a water-jetted merlion is also a familiar place. When the weather is good, these Lego buildings with pools are really wonderful, worthy of a closer look, and feel like you have entered another world of dimensions. The Star Wars Pavilion is another very distinctive pavilion in Legoland. Compared to other colorful projects, this looks more serious. Of course, all the images inside are Lego. I was amazed when I entered. Restored a lot of classic scenes of Star Wars, whether it is a guard, a large flying saucer or a cosmic galaxy in the background, all come to life. Full of mystery in the dark atmosphere.

Today is an alpaca breeder. The Eldondon Farm is New Zealand's largest sightseeing ranch. It can be used to feed alpaca, sheep and other animals. Since alpacas and sheep are herbivorous animals, there is only one row of teeth. Don't worry about feeding. I will be hurt in the middle.

Love Gordon Farm, Love Gordon Farm is New Zealand's largest sightseeing farm. The most important thing to come here is to see the grass mud horse! ! ! The farm will drive a large tractor carrying tourists to see us, and show us all kinds of cattle and sheep ah! Grass mud horse appeared! Tractor will stop in the area where the grass mud horse appears. The grass mud horses here will be more docile, otherwise some fierce grass mud horses will spit on people. grass mud horse hair super super soft, especially good touch, I raised the idea to buy grass mud horse toy , you fence on the other side is the big red deer, looks more fierce These two hairstyles are more cool! Brother, which bridge is you cutting under? Self-timer with the grass mud horse is particularly tired, to make their attention pay attention to it, finally finally took a picture, but this hair is not cool enough tractor to drive away, bye bye grass mud horse, really like it, next time you want to go to South America Look!

Agrodome Agrodome is a great place to visit that we have learnt lots with the show include demonstration on how to shave the sheep, types of sheep and more. After the show, we had tour to the farm and feed the animals. It is great place to visit with family. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
