The region is crowded with great landscapes, delightful small towns and favourite tourists spots such as Arthurs Pass, Banks Peninsula, Lake Tekapo, Gore Bay, Lyttelton. The historic buildings of Christchurch also feature. The introductory text about the history of the area is provided by Philip Temple, who lived in Banks Peninsula for 17 years.
