      Christchurch - Oleg Kozynenko

      Christchurch · Understand

      Christchurch was established in 1850 by English settlers. Its English heritage shows in the older buildings, especially in the cultural precinct along Worcester Boulevard. The River Avon flows through the central city and disrupts the regular rectangular layout of the city streets.

      Christchurch is known as the Garden City, a well-deserved name. Looking from a few floors up, one is struck by the number of trees that grow like a forest throughout the suburbs.

      International tourism, especially foreign-student education for the Asian market, is a growing sector of the Christchurch economy, as is electronics and software development. Because of this there is a high concentration of cyber-cafes here.

      For online visitor information, see the official Christchurch & Canterbury Tourism site http://www.christchurchnz.com

      Christchurch city is recovering from a major earthquake on February 22nd. While some of the central business district is currently inaccessible (around 7 blocks), the remainder of the city and region are open for business and it remains the gateway to the rest of the South Island.

Taxi stands (about $45 to the city centre) and rental car parks are also close to the terminal building.

      State Highway One passes around the western edge of the city, past the airport. This is the main north/south arterial road in New Zealand. The stretch from Picton to Christchurch is particularly scenic, including stunning windswept cliffs and seal colonies. State Highway 73 goes to the west, over Arthur's Pass and on to the west coast. From SH73 you can also access Mount Hutt and other regional skifields.

      There are daily bus services north to and from Picton , south to and from Dunedin and west to and from Queenstown West Coast(Greymouth, Hokitika) Mt Cook.
