This active limestone cave is rare and was formed 15,000 years ago. There used to be a small lake on the mountain that was frozen, but climate change caused the ice and snow to melt and flow into the limestone cracks below, gradually eroding the cave. The cave is still relatively young and has water flowing through it, gradually expanding, thus it is called an active rock cave.
The river water washes away some reliable black stones below the cave, forming smooth, spherical stones. They are lovely, but it is forbidden for tourists to take them away. The cave has entrances on both the top and bottom, attracting many insects for breeding. The most special of the residents are fireflies, which spit out pearl-like sticky threads like spiders, blinking with blue fluorescence, like a starry sky hanging deep in the cave.
To reach the firefly cave, you need to take a 30-minute boat ride to the opposite shore, then take a boat into the cave and walk to the bridge. Inside the cave, tourists can take a human-powered boat tour to admire the magnificent firefly cave phenomenon, like a starry sky. Along the way, you will also see waterfalls and sometimes trout below.
Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland
Highlights: Intermittent geyser and boiling mud pool. The Lady Knox Geyser in Rotorua, New Zealand, produces a natural spout of water that can reach up to 20 meters high. It erupts at a scheduled time every day, so as long as you arrive on time, you can witness this spectacular sight. The boiling mud pool bubbles and boils in a strange and wonderful way, just like a mystical wonderland.
Waiheke Island
How beautiful is Jiliu Island? This is the Peach Blossom Land chosen by the poet Gu Cheng before his death. Unlike other islands, Jiliu Island is full of human and living atmosphere, with large vineyards and pastures, which also makes it known as the "Wine Country of New Zealand".
