Stanley park
Stanley Park is rated as one of the best city parks in the world because of its perfect fusion of city and nature. It is the largest city park in North America and one of the most famous parks in the world. The park consists of three large beaches, a zoo, an aquarium, a small golf course, a rose garden, a small train and countless giant round totem poles. Walking into the park is like walking into a natural oxygen bar. There are dense forests that cover the sky and the sun, and a wide and calm lake in the park. The Lions Gate Bridge and Five Sails Square can be seen on the river bank. On the other side is North Vancouver, where you can have a panoramic view of the Vancouver skyline.

Vancouver Chinatown
Vancouver Chinatown consists of several streets and alleys. In terms of area, it is the second largest Chinatown in North America, second only to San Francisco Chinatown in the United States. Walking into here, various Chinese elements give people the illusion of being in China. At the entrance, there is also a landmark building of Vancouver Chinatown - a Millennium Gate built for the arrival of the millennium. The archway, glazed tiles and stone lions combine ancient and modern Chinese architectural elements. The four characters "Carry on the past and open up the future" on the back of the archway express the deep expectation of local Chinese to build the Millennium Gate.

Gastown Steam Clock
Gastown is located in Vancouver, Canada. Among the many attractions in downtown Vancouver, Gastown is a must-see for tourists. The 2-ton steam clock is the iconic landscape of Gastown and has stood here since 1977. As the world's first steam-driven clock, the tradition of sounding the whistle every 15 minutes has lasted for hundreds of years. Standing next to the steam clock, watching the white steam whistling out, accompanied by the sound of the whistle, it seems as if you have returned to the ancient steam era.

Canada Place
Canada Place is a beautiful spot to walk around, sightsee and take amazing photos! It is a building located on the Burrard Inlet waterfront of Vancouver. It is the home of the Vancouver Convention Centre, the Pan Pacific Vancouver Hotel, Vancouver's World Trade Centre, and the virtual flight ride FlyOver Canada.

In addition to the shocking audio and video, the project also has moving seats that move with the flight of the aircraft, allowing you to experience the thrill of flying across Canada in a helicopter and feel the magnificence of this country. In addition, Flying Over Canada also uses water mist, wind and fragrance to make the audience more involved in this flight experience. The whole journey takes everyone from the east coast of Canada to the west coast, and enjoys the beautiful natural landscape and cities that make people intoxicated.
