A fun café in New Zealand
This interesting cafe was built in a renovated building that used to be a post office
⭐️Recommended points
・A surprising way of serving
When you order at the counter, the menu is limited
but your order is delivered through pipes that run throughout the store! Some people order hamburgers just to see this 🤭
・A fun-filled interior
You can get your own water by turning the sewing machine
The toilet is behind a hidden door, and there are so many cute tricks that you can't help but smile.
If you look closely, you'll see that the staff door says "Staff Only" in Japanese! When you see Japanese on your travels, it makes you feel at ease. ✨

best cafe experience
This is one of the best cafe experiences in christchurch. And what makes the experience even better is the friendly atmosphere created by the owners and staff. Their recent upgrades have really elevated the ambience, making it a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy a relaxing day.
I can't recommend this place enough, whether you're a local or just passing through, it's definitely worth a visit. Oh, and did I mention they're dog-friendly? It's a big plus in my book! Plus, there's a dog park nearby, so you can treat yourself and your furry friend to a lovely outing.

Best hangout
The place is beautifully decorated, especially the cozy little area inside. We visited on two different occasions, and despite it being packed both times, we were seated immediately and the food was promptly served. The service was amazing - the staff are delightful, friendly, and ruthlessly efficient.
Food was a very high standard both in taste and presentation. The Eggs Benedict were off the scale delicious and my wife's waffles were wonderful. We will certainly visit again. And if you are going to be in town and looking for good grub. This is the place to be.

Christchurch, New Zealand – Authentic and enjoyable Thai food: Thai Orchid Restaurant
New Zealand's South Island #Christchurch's local Thai restaurant #兰 "Thai Orchid Restaurant" is decorated in a Southeast Asian style, with colorful colors, all colors of the rainbow, and a passionate Southeast Asian style.
Since this was my first visit, I chose a restaurant near the B&B, and Thai food seemed to be relatively unconventional. Stepping into the moment, I was attracted by the beautiful nightclub-style atmosphere, and unexpectedly discovered that the guest at the opposite table was the Emirates stewardess I just flew with! That should be the right choice.
The chefs in the store are all Thai, and they cook authentic Thai cuisine. I ordered the basic Pad Thai, crispy duck and stir-fried beef. The side dishes used a lot of shredded vegetables and nuts. The sauce was a bit heavy, so I needed a bowl of white rice to go with it. I ordered Thai milk for my drink, which was surprisingly not that sweet.
The restaurant also has live performances in the evening, sometimes live music, sometimes jazz nights, and the atmosphere is very cheerful. It is also friendly to vegetarians and is a popular local restaurant.

Christchurch, New Zealand-Stay in a cozy country-style B&B: Huxley Street
The B&B Bed and Breakfast where we stayed on our way from #Sydney to #Christchurch is located on Huxley Street near Sydenham Park. It is a cute cottage with a small garden. Parking is available next to the main road, which is very convenient for self-driving tourists.
The B&B has a warm rural pastoral style, using a lot of natural colors to decorate it, making it very comfortable and natural. The house is fully furnished, including a dining table and kitchen, as well as a comfortable bed. The one-night price for three people is $2,500, which is fairly affordable in terms of New Zealand prices.
The B&B is located in a residential area and the environment is quite quiet. Although it is not far from restaurants and shopping malls in the city, it is still more convenient to drive in and out. The driving direction is different from Taiwan. Fortunately, New Zealand is a vast country and sparsely populated. Most of the roads are straight and there are very few side roads.
New Zealand, located in the southern hemisphere, has the opposite season to Taiwan. October is the spring season. The mountaintops are covered with white snow and the parks are full of cherry blossoms. The cherry blossom trees here are particularly huge. With the park green space as the background, it doesn’t look easy to take pictures. inferior to Japan.

Explore City and Nature in Christchurch!
Christchurch is a very nice city on New Zealand’s South Island. It’s a city but has more of a small town vibe! It’s a great location if you want to get to some of the Canterbury countryside! Check out my recs below ⬇️
Getting There - Fly into Christchurch airport located around 8km from downtown. Regular buses will take you to the city for $4.
Attractions - 1️⃣ Christchurch city tram - the tram costs around $20 and will take you around the inner city stopping at numerous attractions 2️⃣ Christchurch gondola - takes you up the mountain where there are breathtaking views over Christchurch and the surrounding countryside 📸 There are also numerous walking trails you can explore. This was my favorite part of the city as it gets you away from the people. It also reminded me of my home - Ireland - with sheep wandering around the mountain roads 🐑 3️⃣ City exploration - Christchurch isn’t a big city so it’s easy to walk around. There’s some cool buildings to see, especially on New Regents Street with the tram going through - an iconic Christchurch picture! Also check out the botanic gardens which are free to visit. The Avon River flows nearby where you can go punting if you want! 🛶
Hotels - City Centre Motel - This was a nice little motel that’s walking distance to the downtown. It’s affordable, quiet, and spacious.
Food & Restaurants - Riverside Market - An indoor market area with many options to choose from. I ate here twice trying Italian food and Nepalese food. Read reviews online before choosing a restaurant as some can be better than others. Lots of options here though for many appetites! 🍲
Let me know that you think of Christchurch!

Hotels near Christchurch Airport
In order to catch an early morning flight and not be late, I found a hotel near the airport. Lylo is the cheapest. There is a large common area where you can cook. You can also rest and play billiards. It is very close to the International Antarctic Centre. It is also possible to walk to the airport. You don’t have to worry about not being able to get a car if you arrive too early. #christchurch

Rydges Latimer Christchurch
Address - 30 Latimer Square, Christchurch Central City, Christchurch 8011
Ambiance/Facilities - Gyms, Saunas, Laundry
Highlights - Service was excellent, very friendly staff who is helpful in transporting our luggage in the rooms.
Rating - 4/5
Hotel is near to the city centre about 10 minutes walk. Condition of hotel is all good with amazing facilities. No views though, but ok to stay for a short trip around town. There are many shops around for those who need to do last minute shopping or for quick meals. A pity that the hotel do not provide tour guide packages currently.

A short getaway from Christchurch
Less than 15 minutes away from the city, Port Hills is an accessible area that overlooks the Bay. Despite the gloomy weather that day. The summer green and pristine waters still make for a captivating scenery. #christchurch #newzealand
[2024 New Zealand Tour] Christchurch City Center Day Tour - Easy Walking Tour of All Attractions 🩵
#Sign up for October hotel test sleeper #100 ways to travel
📍Christchurch
.
Christchurch should be one of the must-see places for all tourists to New Zealand's South Island.
Because it is a relatively large city in the South Island, just like Queenstown.
There will be more flights
For example, we flew from Hong Kong to Auckland and then transferred to Christchurch.
We didn't actually arrive in Christchurch until about 7:00 pm on the first day.
So the next day we started exploring Christchurch!
.
⭐Cardboard Cathedral in Christchurch is a transitional church
It replaced the Christchurch Cathedral which was damaged by the 2011 earthquake.
Paper churches are mainly made of wood, plastic and paper tubes.
When the sun shines on the cellophane when entering the church, it is so beautiful~
I also feel rebirth and hope🩵🩵🩵
.
⭐The Bridge of Remembrance is one of the war landmarks in Christchurch
In memory of the soldiers who died in World War I
I heard that this place was also the departure point for soldiers to go to the battlefield.
Now the Bridge of Remembrance has become more than just a tourist attraction.
It is also an unofficial gathering place for Christchurch citizens.
92 I saw everyone supporting the Gaza Strip and advocating world peace that day~
.
⭐Christchurch is a small town by the sea
So I had to go to the beach.
There will be a seaside market on Saturday, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to go.
But you can enjoy the sea breeze and walk to the end of the bridge to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by the sea 270 degrees💗
.
If you have some time in the city center, it is recommended to take a walk.
Because there are many murals in the city center that are worth appreciating~

[South Island of New Zealand] Alpine Scenic Train: Christchurch to Greymouth
🚂 Tranzalpine Christchurch to Greymouth
This journey is known as one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world, covering approximately 223 kilometers and taking approximately 4.5 hours.
The train departs from Christchurch, crossing the Canterbury Plains and entering the Southern Alps. On the way, it passes the majestic Waimakariri River, then passes through the approximately 73 kilometers long Arthur's Pass National Park, and finally reaches Greymouth on the west coast. Travelers can enjoy spectacular views of mountains and valleys, winding rivers, dense forests and pristine wilderness.
TranzAlpine trains are equipped with panoramic carriages and open viewing platforms, allowing passengers to enjoy 360-degree views of the beautiful scenery along the way. Catering services are also provided on board, allowing passengers to enjoy delicious food while enjoying the beautiful scenery.
This journey is not only a visual feast, but also an unforgettable journey to explore New Zealand's natural beauty and geological wonders.
If you are not driving by yourself, this is the fastest way to get to the West Coast from Christchurch. There is only one Alpine Scenic Train every day from Christchurch to Greymouth ETD 08:15 ETA 13:10 and then transfer to Intercity bus 13:30 to go to Fox Glacier (Fox Glacier). The itinerary is compact and cannot be missed🙈 May is the month There are not trains every day in the off-season. If you miss Friday, you have to wait until Sunday for the next train.
Back story: My train was running slowly due to the weather that day, so I didn’t arrive at Greymouth until around 13:50. The intercity bus driver was waiting for our train, otherwise we would have been stranded in Greymouth for two nights before the next bus to Fox Glacier🙈
Personally, I think the scenery on the left side of the train is more beautiful🗻 You can also go to the front of the train to take pictures (there is no glass window). The cafe on the train sells food and drinks. I bought too many ingredients in the supermarket the day before, so I brought my own sandwiches and fruits. 😆The whole train journey was really satisfying!!

Stepped into a postcard at Melaka!📸
Hey everyone! Just got back from checking out Christ Church in Melaka and wow, what a gem! The architecture is seriously stunning, with those classic red bricks and gorgeous stained glass windows. 📸✨ You can’t help but feel like you’ve stepped into a postcard when you’re there!
