Christchurch（克赖斯特彻奇）

The large number of public parks and well-developed residential gardens with many trees has given Christchurch the name of The Garden City.

Christchurch，New Zealand is interwoven by two rivers linking parks，gardens and avenues.Bordered by the Por tHills and the Pacific Ocean，i tis situated on the Canterbury Plains with the Southern Alps as a majestic backdrop.The award-winning Christchurch Botanic Gardens feature one of the finest collections of exotic and native plants found in New Zealand，

In February 2011，Christchurch was hit by a huge earthquake.Much of the central city with its classic neo-gothic architecture was destroyed.But it remains a beautiful city，a city where you can cycle alongside the river，stay in good hotels and indulge in fine sophisticated dining，and a city where，just 15 minutes from the center you can scramble up mountain bike tracks or ride a wave at a surf beach.

The buildings may have been damaged but the soul of the city and the welcoming spirits of the people remain very much intact.Innovative shops and businesses are springing up as the city rebuilds.

You can explore the city by foot，on an open top bus，tram or even relax in a punt as you float down the Avon River on a punt.Experience polar life at the International Antarctic Centre，see the rare kiwi at Willowbank Wildlife Reserve，dive into aviation history at the Air Force Museum or visit Orana Wildlife Park，New Zealand's only open range zoo.(https://www.daowen.com)
