📍Attraction address: Lake Te Koutu Park, Cambridge, New Zealand 🏝️Booking strategy: No reservation is required. It is recommended to go on weekdays or in the morning during the cherry blossom season to avoid the peak of the crowd and enjoy the tranquil beauty. 🚗Transportation strategy: Depart from Auckland and head south along State Highway 1. It takes about 2 hours to reach Cambridge. There are free parking spaces around the park, but please note that you should not park your vehicle on the soft lawn to avoid getting stuck. 💗Other tips: Bring a camera and a picnic mat to enjoy leisure time under the cherry blossoms. Pay attention to weather changes and bring sun protection and warm clothing. When in trouble, don't hesitate to ask for help from the enthusiastic people around you. In Cambridge, where cherry blossoms are in full bloom, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and took beautiful photos with our friends. We had a lot of fun. When a friend parked, he thought that the flat and dry lawn was suitable for parking, but the vehicle accidentally got stuck in the mud. Fortunately, several enthusiastic Chinese friends took the initiative to help, especially the two handsome guys who were not afraid of getting dirty and pushed the car with us. Everyone worked together and finally got out of trouble. We were full of gratitude. Filipino friends exclaimed that Chinese people are really very friendly and enthusiastic. They noticed that other Filipinos next to them just laughed, but did not offer help, which made them have a deeper impression of the friendliness of Chinese people. In a foreign country, feeling the warmth and mutual help of fellow countrymen is very warm. By the way, those three Filipino friends are all single! They said they really appreciate Chinese boys and think they are friendly and excellent❤️

#2024wish In 2018, I embarked on an unforgettable journey to Lake Te Koo Utu Reserve in Cambridge, New Zealand. Nestled at Albert Street, the reserve offered a serene escape with its picturesque landscapes and tranquil waters. The air was crisp, carrying the scent of native flora. As I strolled along the shores, the vibrant birdlife provided a symphony of nature's melodies. Sunset painted the sky in hues of pink and gold, casting a magical spell over the surroundings. Captivated by the beauty, I felt a profound connection to nature. In 2024, I wish to go there again, yearning for the same enchanting experience that etched the memories of that trip deep into my soul.

If you're ever in Cambridge, this lake is a hidden gem for a relaxing walk, especially in summer. There are a few different routes which you can take to the lake. You'll be able to find a signboard which clearly denotes the expectations of the different routes. We took the Lake Arm Track which was a 124 meter track to the lake. There were slight slopes but it was well worth the time to walk around the lake and simply enjoy the fresh air, beautiful water lilies. Lawns are well maintained and the children will love to see ducks in the lake. There's also a children's playground near the Begonia House. Suggested duration: Approximately 1 hour #newzealand #cambridge #summervacation #tripblazers #passionpassport
