Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand so it's considered the gateway especially for tourists. Canterbury is a former Church of England colony and since the early days as new buildings were built it's developed a strong English feel to the point where it's considered the most English city out side of England. Some may even feel that it's more English than England but the history is so young compared to England. Also known as the garded city and the city that shines. I hope that you will get a feel of these themes through my photographs Just like one of it's sister cities, Seattle Washington, Christchurch is on the ocean with close views of the mountains and both can be enjoyed from the port hills at the south end where views to the south take in the splendid scenery of Lyttleton Harbor. Tourists can make the most of this view by riding the Gondala to the best possible spot on a rock face over looking the north and south side of the hills. From here it's easy to see why Christchurch all three. Most English city outside of England, Garden City and the city that shines.
