What should you pay attention to when going to Vancouver? Vancouver travel precautions

Everyone knows that Vancouver’s scenic spots are very beautiful. Today I will tell you some information about Vancouver’s scenic spots. You can check out some relevant information when you go there, and there are Some things to note when going to Vancouver, these are all things you need to prepare in advance. Notes

☆ Never smoke in public places! British Columbia has implemented a province-wide smoking ban since January 1, 2000. Violators of the smoking ban will be subject to heavy fines: From 0 yuan for a first offense to several thousand dollars for multiple offenses!

☆ Be sure to have all your shirts ready. Although it is a hot summer day, a sudden change in the weather will make you at a loss. It’s not too cold in Vancouver in winter, but it sometimes snows. Approximate average temperatures throughout the year: January and December are the coldest: the average temperature is around 5 degrees; July and August are the hottest: the average temperature is around 23 degrees.

☆It is best to put on sunscreen before going out in summer. The sun in Vancouver is too strong. If you go out without sunscreen, you will become a "roasted suckling pig" in minutes:) According to statistics, Vancouver has the highest number of skin cancers in the world. One of the areas with the highest incidence rate, so be afraid

☆ Prepare change (especially one dollar and 0.25 yuan coins). For example, taking the bus is 1.75 yuan, making a phone call is 0.25 (local calls in Vancouver are not The price is not calculated in units of time: a phone call can last as long as you want. If you can bear it, no one will care about you for several hours)

Follow traffic rules. The traffic on Vancouver streets is very fast, and it is very dangerous to cross the road without looking at the traffic lights. And please note that some intersections have a button at the crossing point. Normally, the signal light is always red and prohibits passage. If you need to cross the road, you need to press the button and wait until the signal light turns green before you can cross the road.

☆ Give appropriate tips to waiters and drivers. Chinese people (including Tang, it seems, don't have the habit of tipping, "serving the people":) But when you go to other people's places, of course you have to take into account other people's habits, and tipping is also an affirmation of other people's work. If you don’t pick up a dime, people will think they have offended you, and you might feel guilty for a few days when you go home:)

☆The power supply is 110V! Remember to bring a voltage converter when taking domestic electrical appliances out. ☆Tri-band mobile phones can only be used! Canada has a PCS1900 mobile system, ordinary single-band phones and dual-band mobile phones cannot be used).

☆Be careful when carrying foreign exchange: Domestic regulations require that Chinese people can carry foreign exchange of 5,000 U.S. dollars per person. If it exceeds this amount, you may have trouble when leaving customs. If you hide it in your luggage, you will have to go through X

< p>RAY may be photographed, and some people hide money in the soles of their shoes to get through the customs safely (I hope comrades who do not work in the customs will read my article: P). You can also carry foreign exchange credit cards and traveler's checks, but it is more inconvenient to use. Going through domestic foreign banks is also a way, but it seems that only a few big cities have offices, and you have to pay a lot of fees. Pay special attention to the fact that there are local criminal gangs that specialize in committing crimes against new immigrants, so money must be kept properly.

☆Be careful when saving money abroad: Most local banks in Canada require depositors to provide accurate addresses and related information, which to some extent limits the deposits of many new immigrants. In the above situation, I recommend choosing HSBC. Its application procedures are relatively simple. Travel

1. Umbrella, sunscreen or spray, moisturizer, sunglasses (these are very important)

Vancouver is rainy in spring, although the sun can also shine very brightly. .

ps Actually, I would say that a pullover is enough

2. It is best to have a mobility scooter

Although the transportation in Vancouver is still very convenient, there is no Cars are trouble (serious face)

3. Find short-term rental B&Bs online

If you have a long time to play. . Well, Vancouver is so big that we won’t stay there for long. . Just don't stay in a hotel, it's a waste of money (please ignore this sentence). It is also convenient to park and you can cook your own meals.

4. Remember that tipping is required for some purchases

Anyone who has traveled to a capitalist country will have this idea. .

Just give 10% to 15% based on your consumption. 5. Don’t join a group!!! What are you doing! (Squinting
