New Zealand tourist attractions 💧Blue Lake｜Take a walk around the ancestral mirror lake, a refreshing forest route where blue and green blend

📍 Location｜Blue Lake / Lake Tikitapu, located in the suburbs of Rotorua, North Island, New Zealand 🚗 Transportation｜ It takes about 15 minutes to drive from downtown Rotorua, or you can take a sightseeing bus or charter. There are free parking lots and simple toilet facilities on site. ⸻ 📝 Personal experience Blue Lake does not give people the feeling of "magnificence" of nature, but a comfortable "refreshing feeling". It is not big, but the circumference is about 5.5 kilometers, which is just right for walking or jogging. There are many shades along the way and the view is wide. In some places, you can see the sun shining on the lake, half blue and half green, which is super dreamy. And you can walk directly down to step on the water and have a picnic. The whole lake area is very friendly. This is also an important traditional place for the Maori. The lake water changes color in the sun. It is said to be the incarnation of the story of two lake gods. Although it is not as exciting as volcanoes or skydiving, it is the kind of pure feeling that "you will want to live nearby". ⸻ 📷 Recommended photo spots｜Wooden boardwalk by the lake, corner where you can see Green Lake, picnic lawn 🎒 Friendly reminder｜There is no shelter by the lake, remember to use sunscreen; there are no water filling stations along the way, please bring your own drinking water #JulyGoodDestinations2025 #NewZealandAttractions #AucklandAttractions
