At first, I thought it was just an ordinary suspension bridge. It didn't seem to be anything special. The ticket price was expensive, and the cost performance was not good. Later, I saw a 50% discount on Viator. I planned to board the cruise in the afternoon, so I went anyway. When I arrived at the gate, I found that there were many tourists. As expected, I had to queue up to get on the suspension bridge. Fortunately, I only queued for about 15 minutes. I thought it would be better to go earlier if there were fewer people. This attraction is still very fun to take children. Although we have been to the Wangtianshu Scenic Area in China before, the treetop adventure section is similar, but here there is a task list for children at the entrance, and they can exchange small gifts for completing it. There are many introductions about animals and plants. You can listen to the explanation according to the schedule, and you will also have the opportunity to touch the animals. It is suitable for children to explore and discover by themselves. The Hawk who likes to bask in the sun is very cute.
Vancouver is beautiful, the climate is very pleasant, I like this city very much. Modern buildings and natural scenery blend together, it is very suitable for walking and checking in.

Stanley Park is located in the heart of Vancouver, Canada, and is one of the largest urban parks in North America, covering a thousand acres. The park has more than 400 hectares of forest and is scattered with 500,000 trees, including hundreds of meters of Douglas fir, 800-year-old cedar, moss-dropping maples and a century-old western red cypress. The sea wall trail, which is fully paved with rocks and built by the sea, completely surrounds the entire Stanley Park, which is Vancouver's most distinctive slow-running trail, bicycle lanes and roller skating routes.
When visiting Vancouver, you must visit the famous free attraction: Stanley Park, where you can experience the ancient forest and seaside trails in the city center, enjoy the mountain and sea scenery, and see the Lions Gate Bridge.

nice weather, nice trip! the snow is already sufficient in the area! I like the simplicity and convenience of Canada! people are always happy ~
"Flying Over Canada" is a very popular program produced by the National Geographic Channel of Canada. The program shows the magnificent scenery and colorful culture of various regions in Canada. Each episode has a different theme, such as Canada's history, culture, natural landscapes, and the animal world, etc. The scenery in the program is shot by drones, so the audience can enjoy some scenes that are difficult to shoot from the ground. "Flying Over Canada" not only shows the beauty and diversity of Canada to the audience, but also shows the country's culture and values to the world, allowing people to know and understand the country better.

It is really a once-in-a-lifetime train experience. In September 2019, the weather in Canada was very suitable. It was amazing to take a train and experience the colorful mountains. The train company held a grand farewell ceremony before departure for the train at Vancouver Railway Station. This gave me a pleasant surprise. Not only did the train have Chinese service staff to introduce the scenery along the way, but there was also a food experience. Sitting on the train and looking at the scenery of the Rocky Mountains and eating Michelin meals, it really can't be described in words. The ticket price is indeed not cheap. I was a little hesitant before booking, but after the experience, I felt that the money was worth it. Also, I thought it would be boring on the train before leaving, but I didn't expect there were still a lot of activities. I couldn't stop taking pictures, especially the glass dome, which was like watching an IMAX blockbuster. Soon the wonderful day passed. The Queen's favorite train is indeed well-deserved, making my wife and I feel very noble. . .
**Rocky Mountain Light (Lake Louise)** is the brightest pearl in the Canadian Rockies, located in Banff National Park. Known for its crystal clear emerald lakes, magnificent glaciers and mountain views, it is known as the "Jewel of the Rockies."
---
### Highlights of Rocky Mountain Lights:
1. **Dream Lake**
- The lake water is a charming turquoise color due to the refraction of sunlight by the minerals from the melted glaciers, which changes colors with the seasons.
- The lake is as quiet as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding glaciers and peaks, like a perfect landscape painting.
2. **Suitable for all seasons**
- **Summer**: Canoe across the lake and feel the coolness and tranquility of the lake up close.
- **Winter**: After the lake freezes, it becomes a skating paradise, and the surrounding snow-capped mountains add to the romantic atmosphere.
- **Autumn**: The surrounding golden maple leaves are in sharp contrast with the emerald green of the lake, and the scenery is intoxicating.
- **Spring**: The ice and snow melt, full of vitality, and everything revives.
3. **Famous Hotel**
- **Fairmont Château Lake Louise**: Combining luxury and nature, it is the best choice to stay on the lakeside and enjoy the lake view.
4. **Exploration and Adventure**
- **Lakeside Trail**: Easy hike to admire the lake

The Vancouver Art Gallery in the United States is one of the most famous and representative old buildings in the area. It is also one of the famous historical architectural relics in the area. I personally think it is worth seeing, and the collections inside are also very precious.
A very beautiful art gallery with a large area. It is a famous art gallery in Vancouver and also a very famous art gallery in Canada. There are often exhibitions with different themes. It is very suitable for those who like to watch art exhibitions.

The Vancouver Observation Deck is a tourist attraction with good value for money. You can buy group tickets, and individual tickets are about $20, or about RMB 100. You can overlook the panoramic view of Vancouver, which is very beautiful! An exquisite attraction that you cannot miss.
The Vancouver Lookout is also a great place with beautiful natural scenery. The lookout tower is also connected in many ways. Vancouver is a very important place to visit in this city. It is also a good time to visit here. The city of Vancouver is also huge.

Gastown has many pretty stores and cafes.but there are lots of homeless wandering around this area. Don’t walk around at late night. When you keep following down the Water street, you can see the steam clock and lots of designer’s stores and beautiful brunch cafes.
When you come to Vancouver, this place is worth a visit. There are many attractions in the surrounding cities. Watch the seaplanes take off and land at the beach. If you have time, you can also take a seaplane to see the entire city of Vancouver with mountains and water. It's so beautiful.

Good view, nothing much to see but still a checkpoint to go and get pictures.
It is the largest urban park with green plants and flowers in Vancouver, and is also a popular location for wedding photos. In 1993, it was the venue for a meeting between US President Clinton and Russian President Yeltsin.
