Vancouver

Sprawling streetlights carpeting a rolling landscape into the foothills of the Coastal Mountain range, vibrant green lawns and ripe leafy trees dripping with fresh rain, far-stretching ocean adorned with white-sailed boats floating gracefully on the coastal waves. That is Vancouver.

Grab a bite to eat at one of the many ethnic restaurants in the area, or shop 'til you drop in the fashion boutiques on Robson Street, and the wealth of gift shops in historic Gastown and Chinatown. Get lost in the maze of stores in Pacific Centre, or wander from the hub of downtown to enjoy the friendly atmosphere of the markets on Granville Island, Lonsdale Quay, and New Westminster. For those who still haven't found what they're looking for, Vancouver also offers a number of exciting activities.
