Victoria, Canada.

When I arrived in Victoria, I learned that it is the capital of British Columbia. It is located on an inland island larger than Taiwan, which can only be reached by a giant ferry. The scenery along the way is beautiful. This garden-like city is known as the Provence of Canada. It is also a political center, with its Parliament Building and Royal Hotel. The area is so large that it is intimidating, and you can switch between urban and rural life at will. 🚗 Victoria City Hall: Built in 1891, it was designed by the famous architect Herman Otto Tiedemann Lange in the Neo-Gothic architectural style. This magnificent building is not only the seat of the BC provincial government but also one of the most iconic attractions in Victoria. Highly recommended! 🚗 Empress Hotel: You can experience imperial history in one of the hotel's rooms or suites and enjoy panoramic views of Victoria's Inner Harbor. With its long history and iconic architecture, its unique green dome and gorgeous interior decoration showcase the luxury and sophistication of the time. In addition to being a hotel, the Empress Hotel is also an important landmark in downtown Victoria. 🚗 Chinese Canadian Museum in Victoria The Chinese Canadian Museum in Victoria The museum is small, less than 200 square meters, slightly larger than a shop, but worth a visit. The museum exhibits the experiences of the first generation of Chinese immigrants in Canada, from gold mining to building the Pacific Railway, to the head tax on Chinese people, the Chinese Exclusion Act, and the Canadian government's apology. Victoria's Chinatown is the first Chinatown in Canada. 🚗 Harbor and Fisherman's Wharf Enjoy the scenery of Victoria's harbor and various historical buildings. Located on the seaside in the city center, you can walk along the seaside boardwalk in the city center for a day trip. The wharf is divided into a fishing boat area, a restaurant area, and a houseboat area. 🚗 Craigdarroch Castle: Built in the late 19th century, it is a luxurious Victorian mansion that showcases the lifestyle and culture of the time. 🚗 Hatley Castle: A magnificent castle building that combines Gothic and Jacobean styles, with a solemn and gorgeous appearance and a majestic atmosphere. Its design is inspired by European castles and English country estates, showcasing the luxury and opulence of the Victorian era. 🚗 Victoria Cathedral It is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, but it is interspersed with traces of Arab mosques everywhere. It is a product of religious art with both Islamic and Christian styles, reflecting the historical changes of religion as a tool of rule. 🚗 St. Andrew's Cathedral St. Andrew's Cathedral is a historic Roman Catholic church in Victoria. Built in 1892, the church was designed by architect John Teague in the Gothic Revival style.
