Although facing the brunt of nature and devastated by a massive earthquake in Feb 22, 2011, Christchurch has managed to restore a lot of its architecture and revive back to shape again. Ever since then, the city has shown a contrasting amalgamation of modern art installations surrounded by architectural fixtures that have not lost the predominance of English charm. The city of Christchurch that lies in the Canterbury region has some amazing weekend destinations with great options for students to do a lot in their leisure time. Here are the top five things that students can most probably do while they are at university living in Christchurch.
A Place of Interest for Seismologists
This is a place worth exploring by many of the future seismologists who would like to obtain knowledge about the scientific reasons behind earthquakes explained in detail along with personal narratives to share. Aspirants can describe ‘Quake City’, a museum near their student accommodation Christchurch, that tells all about the massive earthquake that shook Christchurch of its true identity. The most amazing part of this museum is the rebuilt section that offers ready updates on the progress of the regeneration of the destroyed architecture and how the recovery project is going underway.
Garden City
Garden City is a place for plant lovers and for those who want to study plant science or botany. The garden is situated right in the heart of the city, close to the Avon River and has free entry to explore the green habitat lined with water plants, native New Zealand plants, and also tropical plant conservatories. Students can unwind amidst the greenery at the lawn area surrounded by gravel paths. It is a great place to sit on the green space of the lawn area and spend some time and breathe in fresh and head on smoothly towards weekday study schedules.
The Breathtaking Banks Peninsula
Just north of the city horizon one can experience the marvel at the coastal vistas and also encounter critters along the way. This is what one will find amidst breathtaking Banks Peninsula. Students exploring this place can take a welcome break with short bush walks, interaction with rare Hector's dolphins, and also exploring the extensive coastline, and steep volcanic landscape. Just 83km from Christchurch, the Banks Peninsula is situated on the edge of a deep harbour with pick-ups and drop-offs near the ends of the Summit Walkway by local bus services available in the vicinity.
With so much to explore, once in Christchurch, students will never feel weary and have lots to share with family and friends. They can explore many things and city attractions that are strategically located near prominent student accommodation Christchurch.
