The 6 Best Sights & Landmarks in Robson Street, Canada
Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

It was completed in 1995 (pretty close to 2000) and fulfilled the architect's design mission of creating a multi-use hybrid structure combining retail, dining, an atrium, entertainment, and (of course) a library (but not in the traditional sense). The library is a 9-floor structure with a roof-top garden. This was (and is) a highly innovative approach to public spaces; it is practical but still remains inspiring. We found the best view of the crumbling coliseum from across the street, down an alley. The outside walls, as well as the color, evoke ancient Rome's influence. We stopped on every floor, did some exploring, appreciated that there were places for people to bring their lunch and eat in spaces designed for that purpose, and had children's areas for postcard making. In the days of ancient Rome, the coliseum was built for the people and today, so too, is his treasure of a building (and its atrium-covered interior mall space). This unique design is a real head-turner!

Amazing shops all over the long street that is Robson St. Saw Chinese and Japanese shops/stores that I've never seen before. Lovely to stroll around in the evening after dark with the lights on the trees on both sides of the street.

Denman street connects to the English Bay / Stanley park. There is a mall called Denman street mall which is very convenient and cheap comparing with other shops and super markets.
