The air is filled with a strong smell of sulfur, and white gas is coming out of the cracks in the rocks everywhere. The entire geothermal hot spring park makes people feel the pulse of the earth we live in, and it is also a resource for the benefit of mankind.
New Zealand's South Island, known as the Fire Island, is dotted with geothermal and hot springs of all sizes. Seeing this scene, it feels as if the entire country is on the crater of a volcano with undercurrents surging underground!

Lake Taupo is so big that it looks like a sea. It is a must-see attraction when traveling to the South Island of New Zealand! If you live in the city, you can walk to the lake. There are many sailboats and yachts, and you can play golf directly in the lake. New Zealanders are really good at playing. It is also very comfortable to lie in the green space by the lake and bask in the sun. All hotels are fully booked during the peak travel season, so you must book in advance. There is also a Huka Falls nearby to check in.
Lake Taupo is a very beautiful lake near Queenstown, New Zealand. The lake is very large and the water is very clear. There are beautiful scenery around Lake Taupo. It is also a great place for camping. You can also ride a bicycle around the lake or kayak around the lake.

It's very interesting. There are many small surprise projects inside, which makes me, a middle-aged person, full of childishness. I personally recommend spending 2-3 hours playing. There is also a jet boat next to it. I love New Zealand so much.
There is a separate pond as a shrimp fishing pond, buy tickets into the shrimp garden, not simply stuff a fishing rod for you, but first by the guide quite "sense of ritual" to introduce to you. The first project is the incubation park. The tour guide takes the adults and children to watch the shrimp eggs, the juvenile shrimp incubation pond and the growth garden. Along the way, he also introduces the geology, water quality and shrimp species characteristics of New Zealand.
