Did you know, Banff is both a national park and a town? Visiting the town of Banff is a must-do when visiting the national park as it is a beautiful quaint little town, nestled in the middle of the great Canadian Rockies. Surrounded by majestic mountains, the air crisp with the scent of pine, and every corner felt like a painting that came to life. Strolling through the charming streets, I was captivated by the quaint boutiques and cozy cafes, each offering a glimpse into the town's vibrant culture. The surrounding peaks provided a stunning backdrop, adding to the town's undeniable charm. Wandering through Banff, I couldn't help but feel a sense of tranquility wash over me, as if time slowed down to match the pace of this idyllic haven. Be it sipping coffee in a local cafe or browsing through unique souvenirs, I cherised every moment in Banff. #WinHKFlight #winhkflight To me, Hong Kong is a place that offers a unique mix of culture, outdoors, nightlife, food and history! I want to travel to Hong Kong to eat traditional dimsum at Lin Heung Tea House, go shopping at Causewaybay, perhaps take a day trip to the Greater Bay Area and...so much more!

(If you haven’t already) 1) The mountains! Obviously #1 for a reason, just driving from Calgary to Banff is beautiful enough let alone waking up to gorgeous mountain views, breathing in the fresh air on a mountain hike or sipping a cup of tea taking in their magnificence from the comfort of a coffee shop or your front porch! 2) How beautiful and cozy the accomodation is- think wood cabin vibes, thermal pools, a crackling fire in the evening and hot chocolates all round. We stayed at @thehiddenridgeresort for the second time and absolutely love it there! 3) The wildlife - there’s nothing better than being able to witness animals in their natural habit without disturbing them- we love all the variety of animals and felt so privileged to be able to witness them in their everyday life. Don’t ever forget that no matter how cute an animal is it is wise to keep your distance and admire them from afar! 4) Something in every season- Banff has something different to offer every season that you visit, from the beautiful trees in fall, snow covered mountains in winter, water activities in summer and the fresh new start of spring 🌼 5) Relax in thermal hot springs and pools! There is nothing like a hot thermal bath after a long day of hiking to relax your muscles, even if you’ve just spent the day walking around town shopping! #banff #Alberta #familytravel #couplestrip #deliciousfood #Seecanada #Canada

One of the most beautiful and serene places is Banff Alberta. There are so many awesome spots to take photos, and it’s not difficult to get good shots either! Here are three of my favorite lava toons to take photos in Banff: 1. The bluest water you will ever see is at Moraine Lake. The lake sits directly below an epic mountain range. The best time to go is early in the morning. There aren’t as many people in the mornings either. If you’re lucky enough to get cloud coverage, hike up above the downed log to get a spectacular view of the valley and lake. 2. Lake Louise is another amazingly blue lake that sits in the park. It is made up of direct glacier runoff. The best time to go for photos is sunset. If conditions are right, you may get an illuminated orange sky that makes perfect photos. 3. Lastly, one of my favorite places, is the town of Banff. It is a beautiful small mountain town, with spectacular views in every direction. The Prince of Wales Hotel sits on the South side of the town and it definitely a must see. #awesomepic #banff #photographyguide #givethanks

The Tower of Babel scramble in Banff National Park is one of the most amazing adventures in the entire park. start at the base of Moraine Lake and climb the steep scree shoot until you pop out into the top. Once you’re at the top you’ll have stunning views of Consolation Lakes on one side and Moraine Lake on the other. Few people ever make it this far!

The incredible East End of Rundle Hike in Canmore, otherwise known as EEOR, is one of the most popular hikes in the Banff area. You can summit in around 2-3 hours and the views of the Bow Valley are beyond comparison. But you really don’t have to make it all the way to the top to get the amazing views. Even hiking halfway is worth the effort! #mountains #canmore #banff #canada #hike

The Eden Restaurant at the Rimrock Hotel in Banff is one of only 3 Five Diamond restaurants in Canada and offers an absolutely incredible, once in a lifetime dining experience. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like royalty, and aside from the delicious courses, you’re treated to unique breads and butters, amuse bouches, and even a “party favour” at the end. But you really have to try the food. It’s undoubtedly the finest dining experience in a Banff. #banff #restaurant #fivediamond #canada #alberta

The Mount Temple Scramble is one of Banff’s most popular and challenging hiking objectives. It’s one of the only 11,000ft mountains that you can safely scramble without any mountaineering equipment, and if you make it to the top you’ll have stunning top down views of Moraine Lake. The hike starts from Moraine Lake and passes through Larch Valley and Sentinel Pass on the way to the summit. #mountains #hiking #canada #banff

The Mt. Norquay Via Ferrata is a relatively new attraction in Banff. It’s an amazing way to experience mountaineering without in a safe way, with zero skills! It’s an exciting way to summit a mountain and it’s easily one of Banff’s best attractions. There are different routes that cross bridges, planks and high wires, and at the end of the day there’s an amazing charcuterie board waiting for you! #banff #norquay #canada #travel

Banff was amazing. It can be compared to the beauty of Swiss. I had amazing time. #happynewyear

Moraine Lake is one if the most beautiful places in the world. Hands down. It is romantic, scary, fun, beautiful, and mysterious all at the same time. #banff #morainelake #mountains
