    "Half of my family live in Canada. They migrated there from Jamaica with their restaurant business several years ago. I like going there to visit them. Stanley Park is nice and clean and the people are pretty welcoming. You'd enjoy your stay here as a tourist and you'd enjoy the attractions surrounding the area. Canada is a really good country and I love going there."

    Highlights: Located at the center of Vancouver, Stanley Park is an urban green boasting a sequoia forest, a never-ending waterfront causeway, Indian totem poles, and the Vancouver Aquarium. A tapestry of vegetation, the Park offers compelling views and is dubbed a “huge natural oxygen bar”. For locals, this is a perfect place for a rich variety of leisurely outdoor activities, be it walking, cycling, rollerblading or skateboarding. A grassy playing field and waterfront pool can be found at the beach in the Park’s western side, which also serves as an open-air cinema during summer nights. The beach is a perfect spot to watch the sunset and a frequent gathering place for local residents to have barbecues and picnics.

    "Capilano Suspension Bridge Park is nice to visit once. It’s well organized park, and there is a free shuttle bus from downtown. Admission fee is on a bit higher side."
    North Vancouver
    9.1km from downtown
    Highlights: Built a century ago by native aboriginals with hemp ropes and thick wooden planks, the footbridge at Capilano Suspension Bridge and Park hangs high in mid-air over the swift rapids of the Capilano River. The bridge swings and gives out a human-like cackling sound when winds blow across the valley, hence its nickname "Laughing Bridge". The suspension bridge straddles the Capilano River and swathes of leafy forest. Walking on the bridge, one is surrounded by nature, taking in not only the beautiful woodland, but also the snow peaks in the distance and the nearby ravine. If fortunate enough, one could also spot a splendid rainbow due to the vapor from the river.

    "温哥华的加拿大广场 (Canada Place) 是温哥华会议中心和世界贸易中心所在地。 加拿大广场建在原来的加拿大太平洋铁路的码头上,建筑的外表覆盖着类似帆的织物屋顶, 这里现在是温哥华的主要游轮客运码头。"

    3.1km from downtown
    Highlights: Canada Place is well-known as a landmark symbol of Vancouver. It was the Canada Pavilion of the 1986 World Expo. The entire building is made of five fiberglass white sails as a giant tent, which is very eye-catching. As an important cruise terminal on the southern coast of British Columbia, the giant cruise ships moored on its side are also particularly eye-catching. The entire Canada Place is deep into the sea, and the surrounding water and sky are full of beauty. 1. Flyover Canada FlyoverCanada is the only 4D simulation flight entertainment project in Canada. The huge movie screen stands in the place where Canada Plaza goes deep into the bay, spanning from the east coast to the west coast, taking you across the country. During the "flight", the seat will tilt and change the angle, and you can feel the water mist on your face, which is novel and exciting, and mobilizes all your senses. 2. Jack Poole Plaza, as the main venue for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, this beautiful waterfront space has become a permanent place for the Olympic brazier, and the torch will be lit at special moments. From the plaza, you can see Ballard Bay against the backdrop of distant mountains, and you can also visit public artworks and historic plaques along the coastline walking trail in the west wing of the convention center. In the underground pedestrian passage between the east and west wings of the conference building, there are Olympic medals, Olympic torches and podiums displayed, and you can stroll through it to relive the wonderful pictures of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
