Botanical Garden
If you want to see why Christchurch is the "garden city," then the Botanic Gardens are a must-visit. You can arrive as early as 7 AM to experience this magnificent collection of flora from New Zealand and elsewhere - and best of all, you are sure to notice quickly that admission is free! Did you know that the Botanic Gardens were launched in 1863 with the simple planting of just one English Oak Tree? Today, you can see that the Botanic Gardens are more than just trees - the Botanic Gardens consist of 21 hectares boasting trails, art, plants, a cafe, and conservatories. Before your visit, double check that the facilities you want to visit are open, as in the wake of the earthquake, several buildings have been temporarily closed for earthquake strengthening work.

Here are just some reasons to embrace farm life in New Zealand. New Zealand is a large exporter of meat, merino wool, kiwi fruits, and more. Farms and ranches are common, and cattle, sheep, fishing, aquaculture, cows, pigs, horses, hens, deer, goats, and llamas in paddocks form a part of the rural landscapes of both the south and north islands. Nature has also blessed the country with some beauteous views, mountain ranges, extremely cold winters, plenty of water sources and tons of opportunities for vacationers to make the most of their holidays.

Although the alpaca is shaped like a sheep, it belongs to the camelid family. It usually inhabits the plateau at an altitude of 4,000 meters. It is located in the Shamara alpaca ranch in Akaroa, New Zealand. It is a unique alpaca ranch, located in the highest of a hill. In addition to the cute alpaca baby, you can also overlook the Akaroa estuary. There are various sizes and ages of alpacas that can interact with us. Alpacas are actually very embarrassing. As long as they dont touch sensitive parts such as their heads and buttocks, alpaca babies are still very happy to be close to us. . 2019's wish journey, from the close contact with the alpaca?

Akaroa is a god-like existence in the minds of foreign backpackers. The place seems to be small. In fact, the Banks peninsula is a singular gear shape due to the volcanic eruption millions of years ago. Specially rich landforms combined with surrounding forest lakes, there are many unique hiking routes. The best known is the three-day Banks Peninsula Trail, where hikers leave the town of Akaroa and cross the fields, forests and beaches near the coastline. The scenery along the way, especially in the virgin forest, we flow down the creek, there are ferns all over the world thousands of years ago, listening to the birds and humming sounds, and occasionally see one Only the hare passed by, the feeling of being completely natural is difficult to describe with pen and ink. Night cabins by the sea, with the surrounding sheep, hiking in this inaccessible place is an extremely rare experience.

The Shamara Alpaca Ranch is located in Akaroa on the Banks Peninsula, about 80 kilometers from Christchurch. It is the largest, most alpaca, and most famous alpaca farm in Akaroa. Participate in the alpaca ranch trip, you can have the opportunity to touch the alpaca, direct the alpaca into the sheepfold, and get in touch with the lovely alpaca. In addition, the view from the ranch overlooks the beautiful Akaroa harbour, the scenery is very beautiful. The ranch in the ranch offers visitors a drink and home-baked biscuits, and the alpaca store also sells a wide range of New Zealand-made alpaca hand-knitted items. Because the alpaca factory is in the suburbs, it is far from being isolated from the urban area. When I arrived at the alpaca factory, I saw at first glance that I was not a cute alpaca, but I was close to the mountains that were far away from me. The people who raised the alpaca covered a small house by the blue lake. It looks very cute from afar.

Backed by the French Bay on the east coast of Akaroa Harbour, Akaroa is a rocky bay on the Banks Peninsula. It has a colorful, colorful house with a tranquil bay setting, full of romance and atmosphere. A French-style town, where you can enjoy a sunset and fall into the gentleness of the town.
