#3 of Best Things to Do in Christchurch
Rivers
Satisfied guest
Avon River should not to be missed. we will be carried by a punter dressed in traditional Edwardian attire! You will be slowly be brought along the water quietly past woodlands, weeping willows with the leafy banks of North Hagley Park along side the Christchurch Botanic Gardens. You can also take a Punt ride from Worcester Street Bridge through Christchurch’s central city.

Everyone calls it Stonehenge, a must-see spot between Christchurch and Hokitica, where the King of the Rings is photographed. So many big stones seem to fall from the sky. Standing here profoundly, I feel a strong sense of disobedience.

I like to be close to small animals. The small animals here are well protected, and there are public signs introducing the employees who take care of them. They are all old employees who have worked for more than ten years and twenty years. Recommended, you can feed a variety of animals, the environment is very good. The villa on the edge of the park looks really good.

旅の径
The main road between Christchurch and Greymouth on the west coast of New Zealand's South Island attracts many tourists to this tour. The snowy mountains, the flowing waterfalls, the clear lakes, the magnificent glaciers, especially the diversified mountaineering trails and meticulous travel services, have been favored by many mountaineers. For most tourists traveling around the South Island, if Christchurch is the starting point, you can take Arthur Pass as the first stop and appetizer; if Christchurch is the end point, you must have been visually tired to see Arthur Pass.

You can easily hike here for a few hours, walk with friends and enjoy the views of Victoria Park along the way. For those looking for a superb view of the sunset and night, this is the place to go in Christchurch. You can hike here, or ride a bicycle, or even attend a family gathering here. Bus or self-driving are available, parking is available.

We stayed 2 nights in South Brighton, less than a block from the beach and across the dunes to the sea. Black sand beaches are rare and there are lots of driftwood and locals turn them into interesting pieces. There are many shells on the way to the pier. This area is perfect for families, elderly people, couples to sit, relax and enjoy, there are some small restaurants, coffee shops nearby, not bad. The coastal streets are displayed with fantastic sandstone and other materials sculptures. You must have a good stroll around them. There are outstanding works by locals. I recommend staying here if you want to stay away from the city, and it’s not too far to go to the city if you want. You can enjoy the essence of both worlds.

Even if you don’t like any beach-related activity, it’s still an ideal place for walking and feeling the sea breeze. There is a sidewalk along the entire beach in the upper half, but it’s a little better to walk on the beach. There is also a nice cafe and a children's playground.
