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
