    Perfect, you can soak in the pavilion outside, the pool has different temperatures, authentic sulfur hot springs. There is no time limit, it is very smooth to enter, and many locals soak in it

    The environment is very dreamy. I think it is worth the money. But the bad thing is that children are not allowed to enter at night. I don't know why. But overall it is still a good experience.

    In Rotorua, New Zealand, I found a geothermal park with fewer tourists. There was a tour map (Chinese version) when I entered the park. I booked the tickets through Ctrip and the procedure was simple. I originally wanted to go there to make black mud, but time was too tight, so I decided to see if I would have the chance next time.

    Lake Tekapo was formed by volcanic eruptions, so it also has very rich geothermal resources. There are many hot springs here, and there is misty smoke in the middle. You can enjoy the warmth and therapeutic effects of these hot springs to the body. It is very comfortable and definitely worth experiencing.

    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.
