Christchurch became a city by Royal Charter on 31 July 1856, making it officially the oldest established city in New Zealand.

Colombo Street is a main road of the city of Christchurch, New Zealand. It runs south-north through the centre of Christchurch. Colombo Street is an iconic street in Christchurch and New Zealand with some of the New Zealand's most well known sites on it.
It has changed a lot after the 2011 Christchurch earthquake with lots of buildings being demolished. Over the last year though the rebuild has picked up and now we are seeing lots of new developments popping up. 2016 should see a lot more people coming back to the city center and Colombo Street.
Living in New Zealand is a wonderful experience and we hope to bring you the foods, sights, sounds, culture and many more things about life in New Zealand.

Christchurch Dilemmas - City Centre - High Street
Episode 3 of Christchurch Dilemmas looks at the city center. This video looks at Christchurch’s High Street where developers Richard Peebles and Mike Percasky are working to restore what remains of this iconic area.
See all the videos and have your say at
Christchurch Dilemmas is a new series coming soon from Frank Film, the creators of When a City Falls. Funded by NZ On Air and created with assistance from Radio New Zealand, the six-part series examines the major decisions facing Christchurch 5 years on from the earthquakes that devastated the city.
How is Christchurch's nightlife?
The Strip, The Grumpy Mole, Sticky Fingers, Boogie Nights - a few of the many hundred cafes, bars and restaurants which were household names in Christchurch prior to February 2011.
The places people went to on a Friday night, where they met friends after work, or partied with the girls on a hens’ night.
Alex Brackstone lost three businesses in the earthquakes - His Lordship’s, Bard on Avon and the Vespa Bar.
Alex still owns the Vespa Bar, in its new High Street location, as well as the Pegasus Arms Restaurant & Bar, and Morrell & Co in Addington.
She says re-opening the Vespa Bar in the central city was “a bit of a fingers up at the earthquakes.”
James Jameson, who first established Le Cafe in the Arts Centre in 1987, entered the central city scene in 2012, opening the St Asaph Street Kitchen & Stray Dog Bar.
It closed it 2015. On reflection, Jameson feels he was “a bit ahead of my time.”
He also believes the central city rebuild was too slow, and played a factor in the demise of his venture.
One of the first bars to open after the earthquake was Johnny Moore’s Smash Palace, originally in Victoria Street, and now cosily ensconced in High Street, close to the new Vodafone building.
“Christchurch has never been so up to date as it is now. I wish them all well, some will survive and some won’t, that’s the nature of it.”, says Moore.
He and Brackstone would like to see more inner-city residents, “if you get the residents the rest takes care of itself.”
So what do they think of the new central city offerings? Alex Brackstone is unsure, “it’s all a little bit clinical, the heart of the place has gone a little bit.”
Certainly, on a chilly mid-winter’s evening there is little sign of life, until our tour reaches the inner city’s newest offering, Little High Eatery.
The place is humming, and there’s a mix of patrons - family groups, couples, young and old.
Little High Eatery, in the new McKenzie & Willis precinct, is a food hall with a variety of eateries and cuisines.
“It feels like people have got a place to be creative here,” says Brackstone.

Christchurch - January 2018
Now seven years since the earthquake, the last 12 months has seen a significant amount of change in the city's landscape. There are now more bars and restaurants in the central city than before the earthquake, major retail chains have moved into the new Crossing complex and Cashel Street mall. Office space is slowly filling back up, but as the number of hotel beds grows with the milestone Crown Plaza opening, the increased number of tourists are notably visible - so much so, the Tramways have had to put on the newly restored R1888 tram to meet demand.
This is my fifth film, and it's main purpose is to show what's new since last year, blended in with what's great about Christchurch.

【New Zealand Internship ????????】
????Christchurch is the largest city in South Island of NZ and the seat of the Canterbury Region. There is around four hundred thousands of residents, making Nz’s third most populous city, just behind Auckland and Wellington.
????To me, Christchurch is the saddest city in NZ that I met . There are some church still repairing because of the earthquake happened at 22.Feb.2011. Plus, the shooting case at 15.March.2019.
And no more resident were walking in the street after 8:00pm. But nowadays, it’s very safe and I wish all the best in the future.
???? In town, There is a bus interchange, which is mixed with Platform A-D. Also, The big food hall against its, people pop in before they catch the bus.
????Metro-card provides owner discount & one free transfer on any bus. If you pay by
cash, you need to keep the receipt and get the transfers within 2 hours.
???? That was my first time do Hitch-hiking in NZ. As
I never expected the bus stop were removed .Then, I tried to walk 2hrs from one place to the other.Actually, It wasn’t succeeded. Lastly, I met the nice kiwi actively ask & help me,nearby the high-way road.
