[2025 Christchurch Attraction] Travel Guide for Christchurch (Updated Mar)

After living in New Zealand for more than a month, if I were asked to pick a favorite city, Dunedin would definitely be on the list. This city is located on the east coast of the South Island. Some self-driving tourists may even ignore it. What a pity! It is called the "Edinburgh of the Southern Hemisphere". As soon as I arrived, I was attracted by the strong historical atmosphere here. When I walked out of the city, I saw the charming natural scenery, which was very different from the impression of New Zealand. I stayed here for two days and when I left I really regretted not staying longer. 📍Port Chalmers A hidden corner of Dunedin. Take bus No. 14 directly from the city. It only takes 20 minutes to reach this beautiful port. Driving along the coast, the scenery is great. The cathedral halfway up the mountain dots the peninsula, surrounded by mountains and the blue sea, and there are many steep slopes. The experience is very special. Don’t miss these two observation decks when you come here: 1️⃣Lady Thorn Dell Lookout 2️⃣Flagstaff Lookout There are so many places to visit in Dunedin’s urban area. You can take a full city walk. The following are my favorites. I recommend you to visit them all~ 📍Museum Tūhura Otago Museum It is probably the best museum in the South Island (the one in Christchurch is still under repair). The collection is of very high quality and it is free to open. I went there twice! There is simply not enough sightseeing, and the introduction to marine civilization is very exciting. 📍Toitu Otago Settlers Museum There are many internal collections, as well as many antique cars. Passing through the museum is the Chinese Garden Orchid Garden, which is the sister garden of Shanghai Yuyuan Garden. 📍First Church Of Otago A very majestic cathedral, with a towering spire reaching into the sky, it is great to see both from a distance and up close. 📍Dunedin Railways Dunedin Railways A very popular train station, where you can directly book train travel for the same day. 🌊There is also the "Tunnel Beach" which has a very high reputation. Unfortunately, it was closed when I went there. I didn't have time to go to "Lanark Castle" and "Sandfly Bay", which also gave me a chance to return to Dunedin again. Reason ~

Christchurch offers breathtaking coastal hikes.|||Akaroa Head Scenic Reserve It's just a one and a half hour drive from Christchurch, right by the French🇫🇷 town of Akaroa, 11 kilometers past Akaroa, but it's all uphill. The second half of the journey is on a Gravel road suitable only for four-wheel drives. Be sure to drive carefully and slowly, ideally not exceeding 40 km/h to avoid losing control and skidding. My front-wheel drive was really hard to handle. But once you get there, a 15-minute hike will take you to amazing spots for bucketing and taking incredible photos. The big rocks in the back look just like an elephant's🐘 trunk. Standing on the edge of the cliff and taking a shot is simply unbeatable. You can continue walking further if you have time. I was limited, but I recommend you go and experience it for yourself. It's definitely even more beautiful when the weather is good.

Last year I went on a work trip to Christchurch in NZ. I spent 4 days in the city and it was lovely. There’s not a lot to do, but the views are just stunning. 😍 The earthquake in 2011 destroy many buildings and most of the city and they’re still rebuilding. You should take the tram where they go all over the city and explain the story about Christchurch. Also go to a natural pool- quite far from the city but you can take an uber. I recommend to go late in the afternoon is just a great experience. Have you been in Christchurch? Let me know 😊

🌿Christchurch, known as "God's Back Garden", has more than 600 parks, the most famous of which is Mona Vale Garden. This garden is not only the jewel of Christchurch's gardens, but also won Christchurch the honor of being the world's number one garden city in 1993. The history of Mona Vale Gardens can be traced back to between 1899 and 1900, when British wealthy businessman Frederick Weymouth and his wife Alice purchased 4 acres of land and built a two-story red brick and stone house modeled after the British Tudor architectural style. In 1905, Weymouth sold the estate to Anne Quayle Townend, who named it after her mother's hometown of Mona Vale, Tasmania, England. 🌳Townend then purchased 9 acres of land, expanded the estate, and introduced many rare flowers, plants and trees in New Zealand, personally turning Mona Vale into a large-scale private garden. In 1939, Tracy Goff purchased the estate, added a lily pond, and planted azaleas and more exotic trees in the gardens, adding a different aesthetic to the gardens. In 1962, the estate was sold to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In June 1969, enthusiastic citizens of Christchurch donated NZ$55,000, and the Christchurch City Council made up the remaining NZ$135,000 to purchase the estate and turn it into a park open to the public and tourists free of charge. 🌺Monaville Park covers an area of ​​about 5.5 hectares and is a typical traditional Victorian manor. After continuous renovation and expansion, there are now lotus ponds, azalea gardens, camellia gardens, iris gardens, rose gardens, fuchsia gardens, coniferous forests, maple gardens, etc., with flowers blooming all year round. The original manor villa building has also been transformed into a restaurant and cafe, becoming a leisure place for nearby residents and visiting tourists. 🌊The beautiful Avon River runs through it, the water is crystal clear, and the scenery is elegant and graceful. Clusters of tender, yellow-green Miscanthus, Agapanthus, Hosta, Anthurium, Calla Lily and other flowers dot the riverbanks on both sides, making the scene picturesque. Various birds were foraging on the shore, flocks of wild ducks and swans were playing in the water, and eels in the river were swimming leisurely. The streams, villas, lawns, gardens and woods are well-organized and elegant, with flowing water under small bridges and lush grass. It feels like being in the romantic atmosphere of Cambridge, England, and is like an ideal fairy tale world.

#newzealandtrip Fantastic breakfast. The staff were amazing and the cabinet food was well above what I was expecting. Portions were huge!! My one suggestion is to improve the chicken filo by making it creamier and removing the pine nuts inside. I wasn't expecting that consistency when taking a bite. Would definitely return next time we're in Christchurch. ☺️☺️☺️
