What State is Christchurch in? (New Zealand)? |
Travel Info and what is the abbreviation? Travel Tips If you ask me, it's getting into a terrible state!! :-) The city centre has been ruined and they are fast turning what was once rightly referred to as the 'Garden City' into the 'Concrete Jungle'. The areas around the river and the university are still very pleasant though. Apart from that, it is in the province of 'Canterbury' (marked in blue on the linked map of New Zealand below). The map also shows you where Christchurch is located within Canterbury. Most people use the abbreviation 'chch' when referring to Christchurch, but there is no commonly used abbreviation for Canterbury. Unlike America we don't have that many provinces (states) to warrant the use of abbreviations. If you're asking because you are sending mail to someone, it is not the usual practice in New Zealand to put in the province. Just Christchurch will do (we only have one - I think) but we are encouraging the use of post codes (like the American zip codes). There's a link below for that too. Source(s): http://www.christchurch.org.nz/maps/newz... http://www.nzpost.co.nz/cultures/en-nz/o... Other Travel Tips New Zealand doesn't have states. The country is divided into Provinces. Christchurch is in Canterbury province, which is on the east coast of the south island. Me I live here There is the North Island and The South Island in New Zealand. Christchurch is in the South Island. Abbreviation for Christchurch is 'chch' ... Lived there for a year a long time ago ... Only have provinces in New Zealand and its the mighty CANTERBURY!!! Christchurch is abbreviated to Chch all the time, canterbury...hmmm well its usually Canty I guess...most people do the Chch instead as people know what it stands for. |
