A strong earthquake once occurred in Christchurch, New Zealand, destroying many buildings. In order to quickly restore the living standards of the local people and create a harmonious living environment, the local government has launched a ten-year reconstruction plan. The unique attributes of container buildings make them stand out, and as a result, a diversified and practical container commercial square was born in Christchurch.
The container has changed its old and dirty image, painted with bright colors, and opened many french window and doors. There are now multiple stores with a wide range of business operations, including clothing, catering, accessories, bookstores, and banks. Each store is transformed from a colorful large container.
Various activities are held here irregularly, and on weekends, there are also special markets, street performers' performances, and more.
The colors of tender green, fresh yellow, and pink orange, as well as the convergence of trendy businesses, have brought a fresh modern style to the ancient Christchurch, bringing optimistic strength and vitality to the city. There are coffee shops, specialty restaurants, trendy clothing stores, jewelry stores, tourist souvenir stores, and Apple specialty stores, each of which is transformed from colorful one to two story large shipping containers. The original temporary buildings have gradually become a distinctive small attraction in Christchurch due to their distinctive features, attracting tourists from all over the world.
Container shopping centers, whether it's containers, graffiti, creativity, or neighborhoods, each of these elements individually points to young people.
