The 2011 Christchurch earthquake left the whole city in ruins. Some of the ruins of the cathedral are currently left for tourists to take pictures. The original appearance before the church's ruins, and the top of the church tower fell, which shows how serious the earthquake was.

    How small is human beings in the face of natural disasters. Such a beautiful Christchurch cathedral is not in the face of the earthquake. The crystallization of human art can only be felt from the ruins!

    Christchurch Cathedral is a free place to visit, but there are donations boxes, the tour guide will recommend everyone to donate, the cathedral is well preserved, the history is very long, and the huge art sculptures are very much.

    The church that was damaged by the earthquake felt that it would take a long time to be fully repaired. The top of the church was full of nests and became a paradise for birds. The square is very empty. When we went, we rarely saw tourists come to visit. There were two small vendors selling souvenirs. There was no source of customers, and it was not like a tourist attraction at all.

    The original Gothic cathedral was destroyed in the earthquake, and the unique "cardboard cathedral" was temporarily built by Japanese designers on the original site. The unique A-shaped shape is completely built from cardboard rolls and supports the wall with containers. The stained glass is extremely dazzling and looks more like sweets from afar, and the polycarbonate roof helps protect these structures. Maybe people after the disaster are needing candy-like comfort. Maybe this simple "natural" cathedral better interprets the relationship between human beings and nature. After the church, there is a variety of white seats, which are reserved for those who have gone to heaven.

    Christchurch Cathedral, which was damaged in 2011 and has not been repaired yet, is a tourist attraction of 200,000 per capita per year! It has not been repaired yet, and it is also to let everyone remember this day, it is a "swing" country!

    The main material of the cardboard church is made of cardboard, but the structural design is very novel and it is not inferior to the steel steel, and the safety is absolutely guaranteed. It is a temporary building itself, but because of the strange design, it is now a famous attraction.

    The Christchurch Cathedral is located in the city center, is one of the main symbols and important buildings of Christchurch. The Gothic architectural style is full of elegant charm. The towering spire of 63 meters is said to be the most important landmark and spiritual symbol of Christchurch. Visitors can step into the observation deck on the tower. The tower overlooks the entire garden city with a panoramic view, and the minarets are also modeled on St Paul's Church in England, equipped with 12 clocks, which can play different melodies...

    If not damaged, this cathedral is absolutely the perfect architectural feature of British style. Christchurch Cathedral, after the earthquake of 7.1 on September 4, 2010, and the earthquake of 6.3 on February 22, 2011, was unfortunately damaged and the tower fell. Because of the age, it could not be restored with modern materials, so it became such a wreckage. Now people can no longer get close to the cathedral, has been surrounded, so can only look far away.
