I 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.

Christchurch 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.

Rafting on the Avon River in New Zealand is an unforgettable experience! The boatman is enthusiastic and professional, explaining the history of the coast in a humorous way, and his eyes are shining with love for this job. Amid the rippling blue waves, accompanied by mandarin ducks and flocks of birds, and the sun shining on the river, it feels like being in a fairy tale world. Five-star recommendation for this warm water trip!

The retro tram is a beautiful landscape in Christchurch. The 2.6-kilometer journey and the ticket price of NZD 25 go around the city center and connect the main attractions. You can take unlimited rides at 17 stations in one day. During the slow journey, accompanied by the sound of "ding-dong-dong", listening to the explanation of the driver, and looking at the beautiful scenery along the street, you will arrive at the next attraction unknowingly. It is really economical, pleasant and interesting.

Christchurch, 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 down—perhaps a classic way to enjoy the experience.

It can be said to be the largest and best park in Christchurch. Located in the city center, it is a great place for friends of all ages. You can spend the weekend afternoons with your family, using the sky as your room and the ground as your bed... quietly contemplating... or just being idle for the afternoon... It is also very popular on weekends or holidays!

The Cardboard Cathedral was built as a temporary structure after the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, using cardboard, wood, steel, and polycarbonate. Its design is simple, environmentally friendly, and beautiful. Sunlight streams in through the stained glass windows and the cracks between the cardboard tubes, creating a warm and tranquil atmosphere. The elderly staff member was very kind. Upon learning we were from China, he gave us some Chinese promotional materials. My child asked me for a few coins, put them in the donation box, and lit a candle to remember the deceased and pray for peace.

I originally thought that Mona Vale Garden Park was connected to Hagley Park, but later I found out that they are not the same thing. Mona Vale was originally a private garden, but now it belongs to the government. However, Mona Vale is still very close to Hagley Park.

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.

Come to Europe's city. The most unmissable thing is the big square in the city center. I feel that all the people in the afternoon like to experience life leisurely here. All kinds of sculptures are full of energy. Occasionally passing by the retro tram.
