    The experience of the Waitomo Firefly Cave was amazing. As soon as you entered the cave, it was dark and quiet, and only the fireflies above you flickered like stars. Sitting on a boat, glide up and look up at the blue-green spots, as if floating in the galaxy. The whole process was quiet, no explanation, no noise, only the sound of water and light and shadow, making people completely immersed in the dreamy atmosphere. Short but unforgettable.

    Hahei and Cathedral Bay are places that are worth visiting in Coromandel. The bay here is very long, and there are many reefs protruding from the sea on the beach. They are of various shapes and sizes, giving people endless imagination. There are not many tourists here, so it is a great place to take pictures.

    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.

    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.
