The most beautiful country, Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand

Arrive at Christchurch Airport... You have to go through here when you want to go to the South Island! It’s not a big airport and it’s not far from the city center! It’s already past 7 o’clock when we fly into Christchurch, but it’s not dark yet! I like places with long sunshine. It’s better to have more daylight than darkness! It feels like there are more things to do~ When I arrived, I took a car for about 20 minutes to where I stayed...it was a 10-person mixed dorm! The fragrance of flowers is everywhere here Information: The fastest flight from North Island to Christchurch is by plane. Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island. There are many buses stopping here, such as going to Queenstown, Nelson, Wanaka, Tekapo, etc... Avon River has people punting boats, feeding birds, and resting. Trees accompany the river. It’s a nice place. There are taller buildings in Christchurch. Tall buildings are rarely seen in the South Island! The trams here are only for people visiting the city center, and the charges are not cheap! In the Cathedral Square in the city center, the earthquake really ruined everything/_\ So some things were rebuilt. One of the things you must do is to take the gondola. There is a bus that goes from the city center. The cable car ride is very short. You can see the harbor when you go up to the highest point. The scenery is beautiful and you can take a walk... The weather is sunny and the blue sky here is very beautiful. It’s so beautiful that I never tire of it! There are sheep running on the hillside! I won’t miss taking pictures with the cable car. Don’t say it’s too sunny on a sunny day! But I got a lot of tan! There is no pollution and the sun is strong! GONDOLA CABLE CAR I bought a round trip, and there is also a package to buy. The cable car stops sometimes but will start after a while! I bought a POSTCARD photo album when I got off the bus. They took pictures of me when I got on the bus. There is a picture of myself on the POSTCARD. Not bad as a souvenir! Christchurch feels like a new city to me. Some scenic spots are being re-planned because the previous earthquake really damaged a lot! There are many places where you can take pictures! The place is clean and the population is not large! But when it comes to the most worth visiting It is recommended to go shopping around Christchurch. There are quite a lot of places to visit around! In addition, it is really troublesome to not have a car here because the transportation here is not developed. If you want to go to far places, you have to follow its bus. According to the timetable, some have only one bus a day or no buses on holidays! But the people here are very polite and helpful!
