All about Vancouver
Vancouver, located in the southwest of British Columbia, is a port city of high apartment towers and glorious views of the Strait of Georgia, easy access to mountains, and some of the best restaurants in Canada. From Gastown’s thriving design shops and fashion boutiques to the hubbub of the Granville Island Public Market, from the breweries of South Main to the chic sidewalk cafes of Yaletown, Vancouver’s neighborhoods thrum with life. The metropolitan area is also one of the country’s most linguistically diverse areas, and Vancouver’s historic Chinatown — one of North America’s largest — is now almost a satellite to the suburb of Richmond, where you’ll eat some of the best dim sum outside of Hong Kong and where hot pot restaurants engage in ferocious competition for your loyalty.
The city’s cultural offerings include renowned museums like Science World, the Museum of Anthropology, and Vancouver Art Gallery, while green spaces abound — even downtown — and paddling around the harbour is a peaceful way to start or end the day. Take a ferry across the strait to visit Vancouver Island, a major draw for wildlife lovers seeking a not-so-close encounter with black bears, humpback whales, and sea lions.
What are the top things to do in Vancouver?
Stanley Park
An expanse of green that covers a peninsula just west of downtown, Stanley Park’s 1,000 acres of beaches, botanical gardens, and public open spaces make it the epitome of a natural theme park. Rent a bike and feel the wind rushing past your ears as you circle the waterfront or pass through verdant stretches of ferns and ancient cedars. You may even catch sight of a beaver or bald eagle along the way.
Capilano Suspension Bridge Park
At this park 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver, seven pedestrian bridges allow you to wander through the treetops. The vertiginous cliffwalk may not be for the faint-hearted, but the bird’s-eye view from most walks (hello, selfies!) is worth the trip. The on-site Story Centre traces the history of the area, and guided walks can bring you through the surrounding forest.
Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Garden
This classical Chinese garden, located at the intersection of Carrall and Keefer streets, helps mark the cultural and historical importance of Vancouver’s Chinatown. The garden, which is open Wednesdays to Sundays, is named for the philosopher and politician whose mission was to create understanding between China and the rest of the world. In the gift store, you can peruse handcrafted ceramics and woven textiles.
