Christchurch Is Totally Worth It! (Vintage Tram Guide Included 🚃)

Many posts call this city "boring" or "skip-worthy." Sure, it lacks thrill rides and feels like any other international city—but for those of us used to China’s hustle, it’s a quiet, freeing, and convenient oasis! After days in Mount Cook (no shops!) or Wanaka (no taxis!)—freezing, hungry, and soaked in rain 🌧️—Christchurch is the perfect pit stop. Stroll streets or lounge in gardens all afternoon 🌲.
