"Overall it is quite good. According to the process, I will play it. First, I will take the armored car, a little thrilling experience, and then it will be indoors. Watch the staff feed the penguins and watch some Antarctic stories."

"Avon 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."

"It 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."

"Great view of Christchurch from the gondola. Highly recommended the corn bacon fritter in Red Café."

"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."

"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."

"After we crossed the street on a wheel from Wellington, we walked through the street and took the train to Klestercher (Christchurch). Our luggage was checked all the way from Wellington. The view is beautiful and there are travel explanations on the train, giving us a certain understanding of the attractions, history, characters and major events of the places we pass along. There is a table in front of our seats so we have enough space for our legs and luggage. And we can walk around freely in the car, which is really nice. There is an open-air viewing car next to our car, so we can easily get to that car for fresh air and photo shoots at 360 degrees without dead ends. The dining car was also next to our car, the food they picked was great, we had been eating snacks on the car during the trip. It was a great experience."

"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."
