Avon River flows through the centre of the city of Christchurch, trees flank along the riverside and the scenery is beautiful.
Victoria Square is one of the landmarks in Christchurch, it is smaller than Choumeizai expects.
Besides the statue of Queen Victoria, there is Bowker Fountain, the fountain will light up at night and the light will change colors also, looks fantastic.

New Regent Street is a popular outdoor shopping area of Christchurch with many characteristic shops and restaurants, but all shops close in the evening, only a few restaurants are still open.
New Regent Street was established in the early 20th century, it is the oldest shopping center in Christchurch, old buildings flank along both sides of the street, looks so interesting.
Some of the old buildings will light up at night, which creates an atmosphere of Victoria era, as if you have traveled back in time.
