Christchurch has a strong British cultural atmosphere.
Along the way, he saw theaters, modern art galleries, wineries, etc., all of which were retro European buildings without exception.
Other than that, as Stitch says, it's an ice cream feast.
Because of the development of animal husbandry and cheese industry, ice cream shops can be seen everywhere on the streets of Christchurch.
There are many flavors of ice cream, and Shao Zifeng even saw the energy ice cream used for pet animals. Of course, the price is much more expensive.
"Hey!" Ball's little paws were put into his mouth, and he drooled at all kinds of ice cream.
Looking at Shao Zifeng from time to time, he almost wrote the word "want to eat" on his face.
"Gluttony." Shao Zifeng poked Qiuqiu's belly.
"Hey!"
Qiuqiu waved his small paw in protest.
Can this be called gluttony
It's called tasting food!
After a while, Shao Zifeng walked out of the ice cream store with Qiuqiu.
They all shivered as they ate delicious ice cream.
()
clang clang.
The retro trams shuttle between European-style buildings, and Shao Zifeng suddenly has the illusion of returning to the 19th century.
Looking at the time, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and Shao Zifeng was going to return to the Snow Dragon after visiting the last attraction.
Christchurch Cathedral is located in the city center and is one of the symbols and important buildings of Christchurch City.
The cathedral adopts the Gothic architectural style, the overall style is tall and thin, and the main building is carved with complex decorative patterns, which is full of elegance.
There are 12 bells installed on the minaret, which are said to play different melodies.
It is a pity that the cathedral has suffered many earthquakes in the 114 years since it was built. Although it has been repaired later, it is no longer usable.
As the saying goes.
A square without square dancing has no soul.
And Christchurch Cathedral Square is that square of the soul.
In the square in front of Christchurch Cathedral, there is an endless stream of people taking leisure walks at night, and the romantic light music of street performers presents a completely different entertainment atmosphere from Daxia.
There is a fountain under the steps directly in front of the cathedral, and a stone sculpture more than ten meters high is erected in the center of the fountain.
The sculpture is of a graceful woman draped in a veil. The woman wears a crown of silver leaves and holds her hands in a prayer shape on her chest. The whole statue is graceful and luxurious.
The lights under the pedestal added a touch of holiness to her.
Shao Zifeng looked up at the statue for a long time without saying a word.
she.
It's really big!
"Young man, do you know what this is?"
Just as Shao Zifeng was observing the fishing box, an old voice sounded from behind.
He turned around and saw an old man in a slim-fitting dress, a half-top hat, and a civilized stick in his hand standing behind him.
The beard on the old man's upper lip was slightly raised and trimmed very neatly. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was a faint fragrance on his body, which made him look extremely decent.
Shao Zifeng looked at him vigilantly.
Dressed like this on a hot day, and even approached him, a foreigner.
No matter how you look at it, I think this guy is suspicious.
The old man froze when he saw Shao Zifeng's alert look: "I'm not a bad person."
Shao Zifeng didn't think it was hot.
Do bad people admit that they are bad people
"cough!"
The old gentleman twirled the beard on his upper lip with his hand, and changed the subject after thinking about it: "The young man is a Korean?"
Shao Zifeng hesitated for a moment, and a word with Chinese pronunciation popped out of his mouth: "Daxia."
"Oh, my God, it turns out to be from Daxia. I thought that a young oriental boy who looks as delicate as you can only be a Korean." I feel like I told a great cold joke.
Shao Zifeng grinned.
Sure enough, the Korean artificial face is famous all over the world.
After chatting a few more times, most of them were old people. Shao Zifeng also guessed the reason why he was looking for him from his tone.
show off!
Including culture, art and living standards and other all-round show off.
He seems to be extremely proud of himself as a Christchurch native, and it is rare to meet a foreigner today, so he must not blow it hard.
Shao Zifeng smiled and responded with a few words. On the surface, they chatted happily.
"I saw you staring at the statue for a long time just now. Could it be that you know each other?"
"Do not."
Seeing that Shao Zifeng didn't know the origin of the statue, the old man suddenly came to the spirit: "This is the glory of our Zealand Island, the statue of Lady Silver Fern."
"Silver Fern Madam." Shao Zifeng chewed the jerky word in his mouth.
Madam he knew.
But silver fern (silver fern) he did not learn.
"Yeah, Silver Fern is our national flower, and Lady Silver Fern is the pride of everyone in our Zealand!"
Shao Zifeng slowly became interested: "Mrs. Yinfern is not a human being?"
The old man glared at Shao Zifeng: "Don't interrupt!"
He nodded quickly and closed his mouth honestly.
After all, he is a good young man who loves to learn new knowledge.
Next, through the description of the old man, Shao Zifeng gradually learned that the so-called Lady Silver Fern actually originated from a local myth and legend.
Legend has it that Lady Silver Fern originally lived in the endless sea, and was invited to land by her ancestors in Zealand.
The arrival of Lady Silver Fern brought them the dawn of civilization and guided fishermen and hunters home.
Originally, there was nothing unusual about the legend. There are no one hundred or eighty legends like this all over the world, but then Mrs. Silver Fern really appeared.
There was a big earthquake in Zealand nine years ago, the town level was not too big, but it was a disaster for these old buildings.
Seeing the collapse of historic buildings, the residents of Zeeland fell into despair, when Lady Silverfern appeared to save them.
Speaking of which, the old man stopped.
Shao Zifeng waited for a while to see him and kept silent: "What happened later?"
"No." The old man replied naturally.
Shao Zifeng: ? ?
That's it
Then you show off!
The old man looked at Shao Zifeng proudly: "How is it, isn't our Lady Silver Fern great?"
Ah this!
Shao Zifeng was a little confused.
The way you use the word is weird.
Finally, under the expectant gaze of the old man, Shao Zifeng hesitated and said awkwardly, "Yes, she is great!"
After the old man got the answer he wanted, he smiled happily: "Of course, she is the glory and pride of our Zealand island."
After telling the stranger, the old man left with a mustache and contented.
Shao Zifeng stood there and looked at Madam Yinfern quietly.
From the old man's narration, we can know that this so-called Lady Silver Fern is very likely to be a mutant creature that evolved at the back of the ancestors.
If the statue was carved in the image of Lady Silverfern, that would be true
It's enviable.
After visiting Christchurch, I learned something new by the way.
Shao Zifeng was about to rush back to the Snow Dragon.
"Hey~"
Just a few steps away, Qiuqiu, who was lying on Shao Zifeng's shoulder, suddenly grabbed his ear and pointed at a flower shop with his small paw.
Shao Zifeng looked at the brightly lit flower shop and asked with some doubts, "Does Qiuqiu like Huahua?"
"Hey!" Qiuqiu raised his head proudly, expressing that he didn't like Huahua, but his little eyes still glanced over there from time to time.
Shao Zifeng tapped its little head.
Qiu·Ji·qiu hugged his head with his small paws in aggrieved.
He hummed and accused Eggy of not loving him anymore.
Poor myself!
Hey!
Thank you Glynice for the tip, and thank you for your votes.
Still want votes (reach out to the party's stubbornness
