Introduction Christchurch
Located on the edge of Canterbury plain, Christchurch is the third-largest city in New Zealand. Around Christchurch are rivers, harbours, hills, bays, and mountains. From the city to French-settled Akaroa on Banks Peninsula, and the sea-girt town of Kaikoura, the region is buzzing with purpose.

​For 150 years Christchurch was known as the Garden City. All that changed in February 2011 following the second destructive earthquake in 5 months. Today, in its post-earthquake garb, Christchurch is less about prettiness and more about rebuilding and reinvention. However, visitors can have pleasant experiences visiting the Christchurch botanic gardens and the Willowbank Wildlife Reserve. There are also plenty golf courses in Christchurch for the golf lovers.
