iQOO🐮:“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.”
Opening hours: 08:30-16:30 (admission ends at 15:00)
西沙群岛司马亮:“We rushed to the Knox Fountain at 10:15, but we had to stand on tiptoe in the crowd to see the water column rising into the sky. The smell of diesel and sulfur rushed straight to our heads. But it smelled really good! The champagne pool was bubbling like a giant soda pot, and the green Devil's Bath looked like an alien dye vat. The phone couldn't capture the weird color. When we were walking on the plank road, we almost stepped into a hot mud pit. The tour guide laughed and said, "The geothermal foot bath comes with a free scalding package." The best thing was squatting on the roadside eating a sandwich, the steam mixed with the smell of earth rushed to my face, and when I looked up, the hillside was smoking, and the branches were covered with sulfur frost. It was really a boiler room on earth! It was worth the price.”
_We***61:“Kids will love this, it's quite interesting and worth a visit if you're on your way. First, you'll be taken on a tractor tour of the farm, where you can feed the lambs and alpacas. Then, there's an indoor farm show with wool shearing and other activities. The sheep on display are quite interesting, each one looking different. Headphones are available, so you can choose your preferred language.”
刘小心🇳🇿:“New Zealand 🇳🇿 Hamilton Garden is definitely a must-see treasure attraction in New Zealand. A few of our friends went together, the whole experience was great, it was a worthwhile trip! First of all, the traffic in the park is very convenient, the city center is only ten minutes drive, the parking lot is free, this is really intimate. We had a very good luck that day, the weather was sunny, the sun was full, and the photos were all blockbuster, especially the Italian Renaissance Garden, standing there as if you were in Europe, the whole composition was as beautiful as a painting. Secondly, my favorite is the Chinese scholar garden, with all the pavilions and rockery pools. The south of the Yangtze River is full of charm and the details are very exquisite, and it is so real. The ancient Egyptian garden is also particularly amazing, the murals are exquisitely carved and realistic, and the photos are very colorful. Especially recommended is the psychedelic corridor, the feeling of visual illusion is amazing! The ticket price is also very conscience. We are local residents of Hamilton, so we applied for a free resident card in advance. Non-residents only need to pay 20 New Zealand dollars to visit all closed theme gardens. The price is high! The staff is also very warm and friendly, and the service experience is very good. After visiting, it takes about 3 hours to visit the entire park, but it will not feel tired at all, but it feels very relaxed and comfortable. I especially recommend friends or couples to come together and take pictures and punch in. In short, this experience is very satisfactory, I strongly recommend everyone to come to Hamilton Garden to feel the real "people in the middle of painting" 🌸🌿📷”
