Christchurch Botanic Gardens
SSatisfied guestLocated in the central city of Christchurch New Zealand, the botanical gardens were founded in 1863 with lots of trees and flowers.
Cathedral Square
旅旅の径The Cathedral Square is located in the heart of Christchurch, New Zealand's South Island. It is the historic center of Christchurch, once the main venue for public gatherings, and now it is the city's transportation center, the center of activities for tourists (especially pedestrians), and a must-check in place to visit Christchurch. The most vicissitudes. The Christchurch Cathedral (the square is named after it) was built in1864-1904, and two earthquakes occurred during the construction period. After its elegant shape and 63-meter-high Gothic minarets, it became a classic landmark of Christchurch. The 6.3 magnitude earthquake in February 2011 seriously damaged the construction of Christchurch. The steeple of the cathedral collapsed, half of the tower remained, and only the middle temple was completely preserved. The damaged building has not been repaired yet, surrounded by cold scaffolding. The most eye-catching. In the middle of the square, a memorial statue of John Robert Codley, the founder of Christchurch in Canterbury. The most literary. On the side of the square, there is a giant chess board, the red/black chess pieces are50-80 cm high, and each one looks very heavy and difficult to move (two masters are focusing on playing and playing chess, the author did not experience the weight of the chess, leaving a regret). The coolest. In 2001, to celebrate the millennium and the 150th anniversary of the establishment of Christchurch and Canterbury, the sculpture "Millennial Grail" was placed in the square. The 18-meter-high sculpture is a long, tapered shape, abstract shape, decorative image, outer circle hollow, outer wall silver gray, inner core blue. Between the cascading, the leaves of 8 native native plants such as the leaves of New Zealand national flower-silver foliage, twisted and stretched upward, symbolizing vitality and prosperity. The most convenient. The retro tram has a station on the side of the square, which becomes a beautiful scenery. 2.6 kilometers of operation lines and 17 retro trams of stops can easily reach the main landscape of the city.
International Antarctic Centre
AAnonymous UserOverall it was pretty good. I followed the whole process. I first sat in something similar to an armored vehicle, which was a little thrilling. Then it was all indoors, and I watched the staff feed penguins and read some Antarctic stories.
Avon River / Ōtakaro
SSatisfied guestAvon River should not to be missed. we will be carried by a punter dressed in traditional Edwardian attire! You will be slowly be brought along the water quietly past woodlands, weeping willows with the leafy banks of North Hagley Park along side the Christchurch Botanic Gardens. You can also take a Punt ride from Worcester Street Bridge through Christchurch’s central city.
TranzAlpine: Scenic Train Christchurch - Greymouth
999mmIt turns out that the scenery is not as good as the online ones, and the scenery on the way to New Zealand is actually not worse than this. In short, it's okay. It was quite quiet when I went out. When I returned, I came up with a Chinese tour group. It was noisy for a long time, so that the train experience was discounted.
Canterbury Museum
旅旅の径To travel to Christchurch, you should visit the Canterbury Museum. The appearance and connotation are worth seeing. Appearance. The museum in the city center, next to the botanical garden. The gray-bottomed white-framed buildings are both elegant and dazzling. In front of the museum is a statue of William Ralston, a distinguished politician and leader in Canterbury. The figure is lifelike. Connotation. Compared with China, the museum is medium-sized. But the rich and varied exhibits fully showcase New Zealand's unique Maori culture and history, showcase New Zealand's natural and colonial development, showcase human exploration and cognition of Antarctica, and can learn more about New Zealand's historical culture.
Christchurch
SSwC_TWNew Zealand's dusk has a particularly charming purple, especially in the foreign feeling of walking in the city center is very comfortable, the road is spacious, there are not many people, there are few cars, and the wind is bright everywhere.
Christchurch Transitional Cathedral
多多多We stood there, speechless, watching the earthquake damage to the once-stunning old cathedral. The only life to see is the many birds perched on the remains of this once proud prayer site, one of the locals telling us it was being rebuilt and the damaged clock was once again sent to British manufacturing companies for repairs, which is good news for the cathedral.
New Brighton Beach
Yyangduoduo17We stayed 2 nights in South Brighton, less than a block from the beach and walking through the dunes to the ocean. The black sand beach is rare and there is a lot of driftwood that the locals have turned into very interesting works. There are lots of shells on the way to the pier. This area is a great place for families, seniors, couples to sit, relax and enjoy, and there are some nice little restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The street along the coast is full of fantastic sculptures made of sandstone and other materials. You must walk around them. There are outstanding works made by locals. I recommend staying here if you want to get away from the city, but it is not too far to go into the city if you want. You can enjoy the best of both worlds.
