M96***28:โI went there for the second time. The first time was in 2018. There were still a lot of Chinese signs at the entrance, and the uphill road was still so steep. Rising Sun was still alive, although there were not many hairs. Everything was good.โ
Opening hours: 10:15-17:15 (admission ends at 15:15)
thewazztraveller:โHighly recommended to visitors who are arriving in Christchurch looking for a unique adventure! Though a 1.5hrs drive away - the journey out at sea is worth your time. Was fortunate enough to spot 4 dolphins and the Captain also brought us near enough to the rocky edges to catch a glimpse of the seals up close! Oh and also special shout out our friendly Dolphin Dog Albie on board for being the sweetest fur baby :)โ
Alex_Nemo:โYou can take the boat in Akaroa town without booking in advance. There are many ticket offices in the town. The yacht is not big, but it has complete facilities. The captain is also the guide, and the staff is very friendly. I saw the children and applied sunscreen. When the children were splashed by the sea water, they immediately wiped their faces and clothes with a towel. The weather was very good that day, and many dolphins swam and jumped with the yacht. It was indeed a good travel experience.โ

Chocolate CHU:โWandering around the city center of Christchurch, it's comfortable because there aren't many people there and you can enjoy life slowly. The temperature is around 8 degrees, 10 minutes comfortableโ
Flora_Gu:โChristchurch, the largest city on New Zealand's South Island, nestled between mountains and the sea, offers panoramic views of the city and coastline from the cable car. We followed the directions a friend had sent us and arrived near the summit. A short climb up brought us to the cable car station. There's an observation deck and a cafe on the second floor. This way, we only had to buy a one-way ticket down the mountain, which was significantly cheaper. A Chinese staff member at the ticket office told us about a "Time Tunnel" car showcasing the history of Canterbury, New Zealand. If you take the No. 8 bus to the base of the mountain, you can take the cable car up and then back downโperhaps a classic way to enjoy the experience.โ

ๅคๅค:โThe scenery is truly stunning. The drive from Christchurch to the peninsula was sometimes winding and daunting (it was my first time driving in New Zealand). Just obey the speed limits and drive slowly. In any case, you will want to drive slowly or stop on the side of the road to admire the beautiful scenery.โ
ไนๅคฉ็้:โHighly recommend this place, I was a bit skeptical it would be as good as the rumors said, but it turned out to be not as good as the rumors said - much better! It is an amazing place, every feature shows the creativity and skill behind it, the whole place is a wonder, you will feel happy, if you are in Akaroa, you must visit this place. It was not crowded when we came, which was good because the place is not very big, I can imagine it would be very crowded. The cafe looked very nice too.โ
137***66:โใViewใI go there from time to time to accompany friends who have visited there. It is a nice little museum. And, like all public museums, it is free
ใFunใIt is huge and has many sections. It makes for magnificent photos. I highly recommend it!โ
iQOO๐ฎ:โChristchurch Botanical Garden is a fascinating place! Entering the garden, it seems to be in a green fairy tale world. In the rose garden, more than 250 roses bloom, colorful and aromatic. Walking on the trail, you can see the Avon River flowing quietly, and there are light boats rowing across the river from time to time. There are also various theme gardens in the park, such as vanilla garden and Shiqi garden, each with a unique scenery. This is not only a paradise for plants, but also a good place to relax and let people linger.โ
Anonymous user:โI think this place is quite fun. It's right next to the airport parking lot. I stopped by before returning my car to Christchurch Airport and enjoyed free parking. The tickets I bought on Ctrip were very convenient to show directly. The entire tour lasted about two hours. I rode a polar car, experienced an Antarctic storm, watched a 4D movie, and saw penguins and sled dogs.โ
