Vancouver, Canada's third largest city, is called "the gateway to the Pacific Ocean". It is almost surrounded by water and is the largest natural seaport along the Pacific coast of North America. With a history of only 100 years, it is a place where many Asians live together. Vancouver is a this beautiful city that harmoniously blends modern urban civilization with natural beauty, which fascinates countless people who have been there. There are many large parks, modern buildings, charming lakeside paths and well-preserved traditional buildings. There are many immigrants from all over the world among Vancouver residents. No matter what race, no one in the local area will think you are a foreigner, so tourists' first impression of Vancouver is mostly "cordial". The pleasant climate and unique natural beauty make it a paradise for people who are most suitable to enjoy life, and it has been rated as the most suitable city for human habitation by the United Nations for many times.
Vancouver has many tourist attractions, including Stanley Park)-the world's largest city park, Lion Gate Bridge)-Canada's longest bridge, Canada Square)-the famous "Five Sails" building, Elizabeth queens park, Glass Mountain, Kaplan Slave Suspension Bridge, Chinatown (Millennium Gate, Zhongshan Garden) and Weissler.
Stanley Park, Gross Mountain, glanville Island and Vannier and Elizabeth queens park are only 10 to 20 minutes' drive from the city center. Stanley Park, covering an area of 1 1,000 acres, is a natural park, and the Vancouver Aquarium is the most attractive one, where the Amazon rainforest and all kinds of fish are planted. The feeding time of Moby Dick and killer whale is the happiest time for children. Stanley Park also has a zoo, a rose garden, an Indian totem pole exhibition area and a tennis court.
Most visitors to Gros Mountain like to stop at Capilano Suspension Bridge. In the 230-foot-high valley, the suspension bridge stretches carefully under your feet, but don't worry, this scary-looking suspension bridge can carry 50 huge jets. At one end of the bridge is a garden and totem pole park, and at the other end is a dense forest for people to climb mountains.
Gross Mountain is an ideal scenic spot, especially at sunset. Most tourists go up the mountain by cable car, but on sunny days, there are many people on foot, and the upper reaches of the mountain road are crowded. There are interesting places on the mountain road; The West Monkey Stone Food and Entertainment Center provides tourists with food, music and dance from local Indians in Canada.
Glanville Island is famous for its handicraft shops, diving and fishing gear shops and children's products shops. Energetic tourists can board a boat, take fishing gear and go fishing by themselves. Lazy tourists can sit in restaurants and have a fishing addiction in artificial streams.
Vannier Park has bike paths where you can exercise, and museums where you can exercise your brain. Maritime museum, Vancouver Museum and Pacific Space Center are not very big, so a half-day tour is enough. The anthropology museum nearby is considered by most people to be the best museum in Vancouver.
