Come to New Zealand and start your dream journey! Let this pure land become a treasure in your heart forever✨
Wind and beautiful day. I like to take a walk to the botanical garden and breathe the fresh air. Peacock sculpture or other countries give it? The shape is very retro and elegant, and New Zealand is a flower city. Your climate and warm sea breeze make the flowers here colorful.
The free botanical garden, the ancient plant kingdom, only took a glimpse of it in just two hours. It was as if time had traveled through time, and I saw the ginkgo trees that had withered in the northern hemisphere and were still green in the southern hemisphere, as well as the colorful roses, competing in the sunshine. Walking through the botanical garden in the center of the city feels like being in a green forest, which is quiet and peaceful, making you feel happy physically and mentally.
Located in the central city of Christchurch New Zealand, the botanical gardens were founded in 1863 with lots of trees and flowers.
Christchurch's largest botanical garden, park, HagleyPark. Right in the city center. Very large, many plants are marked. Many people come here for running and walking in the morning and evening. Many families come here to enjoy flowers and picnics on weekends. Especially comfortable. Very suitable for couples and parent-child travel. Christmas City is a garden city, so a visit is a must.
Christmas City is known as the most beautiful garden city in the world without tickets. The botanical garden is rich in plants and I believe that there will be harvests in all seasons except winter. This is a place worth spending three hours slowly strolling around and taking various photos. The famous Avon River flows through the mouth of the garden and goes around, and the parking place is a beautiful park.
According to the tour guide, the best plant varieties at home and abroad are planted in the park, and hundreds of roses can be seen. But our feeling of walking down is not only quiet and fresh, but also different from the Mona Valley. Instead, the cafe in the park can be used for a small dip, order a cup of hot chocolate to rest.
The Christchurch Botanical Garden was built in July 1863, and the natural wetlands and dunes of that year have now been transformed into beautiful gardens with flowers. The botanical garden covers 30 hectares and has 10 gardens of different styles. There are more than 10,000 native or imported plant varieties. Most of these gardens are located in the Avon River basin. I have to say that the botanical garden is really too big, and it takes only a quarter of a hour to walk around. It is interesting to watch ducks and ducks in the Avon River, and the playground with dolls. There is also the Canterbury Museum next to it.
