A one-day tour of Vancouver can be arranged as follows: business talks, visiting downtown museums, sailing, shopping, climbing mountains to see the scenery or playing golf. The ski resort is not far from the city.

At night, the nightlife for local residents and tourists to choose from is extremely rich. There are all kinds of restaurants in Vancouver, with different flavors and various forms of entertainment: drama, jazz, gambling, symphony and so on. The city center and the pier are frequented by tour groups, and many scenic spots are close at hand.

Popular seafood.

Popular places in downtown Vancouver include Universal Hollywood and Hard Rock Cafe. The downtown area is also a good place for gourmets. There are many restaurants with various flavors and grades here. Geely Chinese restaurant is often full, so guests had better make a reservation first. The Royal Seafood Chinese Restaurant is also famous in the local area, especially salmon. Guests visiting Vancouver should not miss it.

There are many famous hotels in downtown Vancouver: Four Seasons Hotel, Shangri-La Hotel, Hyatt Regency Hotel and Radisson Hotel. Guests who are obsessed with the old-fashioned mood can try Vancouver Hotel, where the rooms are large and the decoration is gorgeous. This Renaissance-style hotel was built by the National Railway Administration at 1939, which is the most striking building in the dock area. Less than 15 minutes walk from the city center, you can reach the holiday hotel with a slightly lower price. But its facilities are equally safe and reliable. Wedgwood Hotel in the same area has an elegant environment and a typical European atmosphere.

From downtown, there are two good ways to visit Vancouver on foot: walk along Robertson Street through the museum area, or enter the historic Gaston and Tang Dynasty areas through the pier. The Vancouver Art Museum and the Canadian Craft Museum, which are located between the downtown and the Pacific Shopping Center, are both small and can be visited in two hours. The Arts and Crafts Museum displays various arts and crafts works, and the shops in the museum sell handmade and unique arts and crafts gifts. The exhibition plan of the Art Museum 65438-0999 includes the Toulouse-Latrek exhibition, the Japanese printmaking exhibition, the British ancient painting masters exhibition, and the Auduban Bird Exhibition in Canada.

The main shops in Pacific Shopping Center are Eaton and Hott Langflo. Adjacent to it is Gulf Department Store (formerly Hodson Gulf Trading Company). There are many kinds of goods in Gulf Department Store, and Holt Lanfulu's goods are strictly within the price range of Armani Helms Prada.

A refreshing shop

Robertson Street behind Vancouver Art Museum is a refreshing shopping street, which stretches for half a mile. There are many shops and all kinds of goods, from Chanel fashion to popular cowboy ice cream. Like Chanel and Valentino clothing stores, El Flamengo is close to the city center, while medium-sized stores such as Barnahe, Max Spencer and Nike are far from the city center. Robertson Street also has several great restaurants, such as Calcutta Club, calypso, Indian Delicious, Medici Cafe and Mahoney Restaurant. The Seattle-based Starbucks coffee shop has more than one branch in Robertson Street, and major Canadian coffee chain brands and Second Forest also have branches here.

Other attractions outside the city center include the recently renovated Orphan Theatre, home of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, and the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, home of local dramas. The two theaters also often hold ballet, drama and chamber music performances. Adjacent to Queen Elizabeth Theatre is Vancouver Library. This is a modern building, but its design is like the grand theater in ancient Rome. The best way to explore Vancouver's history is to walk in the other direction from the city center, reach the pier and then go forward. The most striking building along the coast is "Land of Canada", which looks like a sailboat. There are conference centers, Pan-Pacific hotels, high-grade Pacific cafes and fast food restaurants.

Gaston is one of the most beautiful communities in Vancouver. The main road here is called Water Street, which is a gravel road. There are few vehicles on the street, and the street views on both sides are very distinctive. At the junction of Shuijie and Canhua Street, a big clock driven by a steam engine is still tirelessly striking the time. From postcard shops to Ralph Lauren boutiques, Gaston's boutiques are doing very well. At night, whether you eat in a seafood restaurant with Mediterranean flavor or Asian or local flavor, it is full of romantic mood. Water Street Cafe, Mickey Mouse Store and Lavantana are all good choices.

The noise in the nearby Tang area is in sharp contrast with the silence in Gastown. The Tang area in Vancouver is one of the three Tang areas in North America. The most attractive places in the Tang area are its China cultural characteristics and numerous department stores and restaurants. From mid-May to mid-September, the night market in Tangren District is open until 1 1: 30 every day. Zhongshan Garden in this area is quiet and worth visiting.

Natural landscape

Other tourist attractions in Vancouver-Stanley Park, Gross Mountain, glanville Island and Vannier, and Elizabeth queens park-are only 10 to 20 minutes' drive from the city center. Covering an area of 65,438+0,000 acres, Stanley Park is a natural park, among which Vancouver Aquarium is the most attractive, 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.
