North Island, New Zealand｜ Lake Taupo｜Warm light and shadow of the lakeside town

｜Itinerary｜ We arrived in Taupo in the evening, just in time to see the sunset shining on the lake and the famous landmark "#LOVETAUPO". Everything was so beautiful that it seemed to be prepared just for us. We took a walk by the lake and felt the wind blowing from the snow-capped mountains in the distance. The light and tranquility of the evening were unforgettable. The next morning, the owner of the campervan who had checked in rode his bicycle out to the lakeside facing the wind. The pace of life was enviable. ｜Transportation｜ It is recommended to drive from Rotorua for about 1 hour. It can also be easily connected from other cities in the North Island. There are free parking lots and camping sites near the lake, which is very friendly to self-driving travelers. ｜Recommendations｜ Lake Taupo is the largest freshwater lake in New Zealand. It is so large that you would think you are at the seaside. The whole town has a slow pace, a bit like Taiwan's Cingjing and Sun Moon Lake, but with a more exotic feel and quality of life. It is highly recommended for travelers who want to slow down and enjoy the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains! #AprilGoodDestinations2025
