A Chinese tourist who went missing after leaving her Auckland hotel room last week has been found in Taupo, police say.
Police located 42-year-old Ling Fang Mai at a Taupo address last night.
Mai initially arrived in Auckland last Wednesday as part of a tour group and spent the afternoon visiting the Mt Eden summit before checking into a motel in Parnell around 8pm.
That night, she told her roommate she was going for a walk but never returned.
It is understood she was in New Zealand on a one month tourist visa.
On Tuesday, Mai contacted a family member in China to say she was OK.
However, detective inspector Aaron Pascoe said police continued to look for her as the circumstances of her disappearance and the single contact with her family did not fully allay concerns for her welfare.
A team of officers had been making enquiries about her whereabouts since her disappearance and located her at a Taupo address.
A great deal of time and effort went into looking for her, he said. Source: stuff
