Bridge of Remembrance Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Remembrance Bridge spans the Yafang River and was originally just a small white stone bridge. During the First World War, soldiers who were preparing to go out, watched by relatives and friends, passed this bridge to Wellington Railway Station. The History of the Remembrance Bridge In 1919, a local woman wrote a letter to the local newspaper, hoping to build a memorial on the bridge where the soldiers were sent off. This wish has been widely supported by the local people. In 1923, the small bridge was rebuilt and this magnificent arch was added at the head of the bridge. In April 1985, the Bridge of Remembrance was assessed as a cultural heritage by the New Zealand Historic Site Agency.

The bridge is to commemorate the New Zealand Legion who was sent to the battlefield in World War I to fight for its metropolitan Britain. Ten percent of New Zealand's population died in World War I for Britain, which was a shame. The white bridge is also desolate
This is also a punch-in attraction in Christchurch, free of charge. The appearance is actually nothing special, it is a stone arch bridge plus a stone arch, showing ordinary and simple, but this is built by the New Zealand people to commemorate the New Zealand soldiers who participated in World War I and sacrificed. The location is on the east side of Halag Park, and you will be able to walk through the gate to the center of Christchurch, so you can walk along the way.
The bridge across the Avon River, the poetic name has many stories, not far from Christchurch Cathedral, the elegant stone bridge, is the first world war, ready to go through the bridge to the station of soldiers.
Bridge of Remembrance The Remembrance Bridge, located on the Avon River in Christchurch, on the east end of Cashel Street, is also the first bridge passed by the Avon River gondola after visiting the pier. The original intention of the construction is to commemorate the fallen soldiers in the First World War, and then become a place to remember the spirits who died for the country in all wars. Damaged after the earthquake, it is still under maintenance and renovation.
