I am so lucky and grateful to have the chance to stay at Vancouver for 10 days during my time here in Canada. In these 10 days, my cousin took me to different places, and here I’ll share some of my favorite spots in Vancouver. 🏞️Stanley Park Stanley Park is really one of the most beautiful parks in Vancouver. There are many beautiful creatures like little ducks residing there. If you keep walking, you will reach the ocean and have a nice sunset view. I see many people jogging and biking there. You can really feel the liveliness from this place. 📍Vancouver, BC V6G 1Z4, Canada 🌃Vancouver Downtown At the downtown, you can see the age old steamed clock. My favorite restaurant there is The Old Spaghetti Factory🍝The price is reasonable and not pricy in the central part of Vancouver where everything is somewhat a little bit more expensive. 🏮China Town🪭 Vancouver is a city with Asian immigrants, so in China Town, you can see a lot of historical Chinese buildings and get the taste of the eastern aesthetic. 🚉Vancouver Sky Train Vancouver Sky Train is an affordable way to move around in the city. I like the design of it and on the Sky Train you can see many different views of Vancouver. 🐠Steveston Fisherman’s Wharf, Richmond🐟 This is a place where you can enjoy the breeze of the sea from the Pacific Ocean. At around 4p.m. in winter time, the sunset is beautiful to witness here🌅Also, you should definitely have the classy fish and chips here. The fish is fresh and crispy, and it’s nice to eat it with the costal view and sunset. 📍3800 Bayview St, Richmond, BC V7E 6K7, Canada 🌊Rocky Point Park You have to go to Rocky Point Ice Cream🍦if you visit here. See how the dog wants the ice cream so bad? Don’t worry, they even make ice cream for dogs to eat!🐾At the park, you can walk along the coast but also enjoy walking in the forest. It’s a nice and relaxing place to go to. 📍2800 Murray St, Port Moody, BC V3H 1X2, Canada 🌲Kushiro Park, Burnaby This park is named after the sister city Kushiro in Japan, so when you visit there, you can see some traditional wood carving statue of Japan. The forest is very beautiful with gigantic trees for you to enjoy and relax. The weather there is cozy, not too hot and not too cold, so you can have a relaxing walk there. 📍464 Centennial Way, Burnaby, BC V5A 1G9, Canada Vancouver is really one of the most cozy places to live in the world. The temperature and the humidity is both at the right spot. The city is mixed with modernness and nature, so you still can feel relaxed in this big city. I hope you have fun in these places I share with you. I always love nature and Vancouver has mountains, forest, and nature🥰so I really love this place a lot. #nature #naturelover #naturelover #familytrip #deliciousfood #vancouvertravel #britishcolumbia #canada #canadatravel #canadatrip

❄️ Vancouver · Greater Vancouver Travel, just in time for a warm winter, comfortable to the touch, but the Ministry of Environment warns that the weather will change from sunny to cold and snowy. 🚶‍♀️Go to the niche Blackie Spit during the Spring Festival to see the mountains and sea, only to see 👀 the morning sun shining on the snow by the sea, a little surprise 🤩 It turns out that there is snow falling quietly by the sea at night, melting in the warm sun, and leaving snow on the shady side. ❄️The snow is affectionate and the grass and trees are bright, ❄️The north wind cherishes the lightness. ~~~~~~~ ❄️The coast plows the snow, ❄️The creek sand fishing sunset 🧧Snake Year Spring Festival, where did it snow?

🏖️ Vancouver is a coastal city, and the sea is the soul of the city. There are too many famous sea-related attractions: Stanley Park, Horseshoe Bay Park, White Rock, Canada Place, Vancouver Harbour Seaplane Base, Lions Gate Bridge ……… 🏖️ On this trip to Vancouver, I discovered a lesser-known beach in Surrey: Crescent Beach, a popular summer vacation spot for locals. ⛺️ It's especially suitable for camping, walking kids, walking dogs, and sunbathing 😎 ⛪️ There are churches, restaurants, coffee shops, galleries, B&Bs, and open-air free foot showers by the beach…… ⏳ Recommended visiting time: 😎 One hour, with proper sun protection 🚙 Suitable for self-driving ✅ Free to visit

As it’s 31st of August and weather doesn’t look anything but Autumn now it was perfect time to say goodbye to our very much loved patio. There’s new addition the the lights there which are solar lights gifted to me recently from @whousewe and they make the actual decking so much brighter.

Went to Surrey on my first day

The view alone 🤩

#OverseasTravel I love Mexican food so much that there's no dish I don't like. I discovered a Quesada chain near my accommodation and went for lunch. Everything from tacos topped with fresh vegetables and various meats, to light burritos and cheese-filled nachos, was delicious. They even provided takeout, so the portions were generous, so I packed the rest and enjoyed it later when I was feeling peckish. If you're traveling in Canada and love Mexican food, I recommend this Mexican restaurant for a budget-friendly and easy meal! 📍Quesada Burritos & Tacos 1711 152 St 107, Surrey, BC V4A 4N3, Canada #OverseasTravel #CanadaTravel #MexicanFood #surrey #vancouvertrip #VancouverNearby

🦭 A Coastal Getaway Near Vancouver: White Rock & 1001 Steps 🪨 Just an hour's drive from Vancouver, I visited White Rock, a place where you can enjoy the open sea and a relaxed atmosphere. Walking along the long pier, feeling the sea breeze, and watching people stroll on the tidal flats was delightful. The area is also dotted with cafes and ice cream shops, making it a perfect spot to take a break after a walk. 🍦 Next, I headed to the hidden gem, 1001 Steps! While the stairs don't actually number 1001, descending the long staircase leads you to a serene beach. 🌿 Unlike the bustling White Rock, this spot offers a tranquil seaside experience, making it an ideal combination for a day trip. ⸻ ✔ Travel Tips · White Rock is most beautiful during sunset. 🌅 · Wear comfortable shoes for 1001 Steps, as the climb can be a bit of a workout. · Don't miss the local specialty, fish and chips, at White Rock! 🐟🍟 · Driving is recommended as the area has steep hills. Both locations have parking lots, making it convenient to travel by car.

The light is 33.7 meters high and has a brightness of 290,000 candles. It is called "the end of the world." Highlights · The best sunset view is between 4 and 6 p.m. The lighthouse presents a pink-gold hue under the sunset, which is suitable for taking Japanese-style photos · Historical exploration Visit the interior of the lighthouse to learn about its navigation function and World War II history. The top floor overlooks the Atlantic Ocean · Surrounding activities Take a walk along the trail next to the lighthouse or go to the nearby wheat fields to take pictures of the pastoral scenery Transportation recommendations Drive from Manhattan for about 2.5 hours along the Long Island Highway; there is a parking lot next to the lighthouse. Peace Arch Park The transnational park spans the US-Canada border and consists of Canadian provincial parks and US state parks. The arch symbolizes the peaceful spirit of the 1814 Treaty of Ghent Highlights · Check in at the arch The arch is 20 meters high The crossbeams are taken from the Canadian steamship "Beaver" and the American "Mayflower". The bottom is engraved with "1814 OPEN DOORS OF PEACE 1921". · The border picnic park has lawns, stone gardens and indoor picnic areas.

#Overseas travel I was captivated by the delicious coffee and pleasant atmosphere of a cafe I happened to visit in the South Surrey area of Canada. I recommend it because you can drink coffee beans roasted directly in the cafe. 📍Islands Café 16041 24 Ave #40, Surrey, BC V3Z 0M6 Canada #Kanada #CafeRecommendation #VancouverSuburbs

#cityplaybook #familytrip #localguides #aprilblooms Surrey is more than just a suburb of Vancouver—it’s a dynamic, multicultural city with deep community roots and some of the most peaceful green escapes in British Columbia. My time here was a refreshing mix of urban comfort and natural discovery. I began at Bear Creek Park, a lush, family-friendly space with trails, gardens, and a miniature train that brought a playful energy to the morning. The walking paths led me past bubbling creeks and blooming rhododendrons—a perfect start for nature lovers. In the heart of the city, Surrey Central buzzed with life. I stopped by Surrey Civic Plaza, where modern architecture, community events, and food trucks made for a lively and photogenic setting. Nearby, Surrey Art Gallery surprised me with innovative contemporary exhibits, many reflecting local and Indigenous voices. What really stood out was the warmth of Surrey’s diverse communities. I explored Punjabi Market, sampled freshly baked naan from a local tandoor, and chatted with vendors at Guildford Town Centre—where cultures and cuisines from around the world meet under one roof. Best Time to Visit: May to September, when outdoor spaces and festivals are in full swing. Travel Tips: Don’t miss Crescent Beach for a peaceful seaside walk and sunset views. For a local flavor, try a butter chicken poutine—Surrey’s fusion food at its best. Explore Green Timbers Urban Forest for hiking, fishing, and wildlife spotting.

If you are not crossing the border to the United States but only going to Peace Arch Provincial Park on the US-Canada border, it is best not to take 99 and turn right at Beach Rd to the parking lot behind the duty-free shop. There are many cars crossing the border to the United States on holidays and it is easy to get stuck. You can take 99 and then get off at 8Ave, turn right and drive to the end of 172st, park on the side of the road and walk over.
