Granville Island

Former industrial site has been transformed into an artsy, posh neighborhood with quaint shops, cafes and bookstores.

Reviewed By 643darenr - Burnham-On-Sea, United Kingdom

This was somewhere where we wanted to visit on our last trip but never made it. But glad we took the time on this trip and spend a very sunny Sunday afternoon on the Island. The public market is amazing, the sights, smells and colours are breathtaking selling everything from fruit and veg (all expertly displayed), to flowers, soaps, local crafts and the dessert counters WOW AMAZING. The food court area did get extremely busy but we were able to find a seat - the Chinese food counter was our preferred meal option and it was delicious, with us opting for the Lemon Chicken and the Honey Garlic pork. The food was that good that we actually visited again the following week. There are lots of other places to visit around the market, with shops and amazing houseboats + I believe there was a childrens play area. We then used one of the aqua buses to get a different view of the area back to Plaza of Nations. I would highly recommend Granville Market if you are in Vancouver

Vancouver look out is almost 550 ft high observation tower right in the heart of the Downtown. Ists location is fantastic as it is near coal harbour in the old Gas town. The humming sound of downtown you can feel while coming from Robson street to port side. The journey starts from the elevator and you go up to observe a 360 degree view of the city. More you can enjoy to go more up in the revolving restaurant and enjoy meal revolving and seeing the beautiful city.

International Buddhist Society (Buddhist Temple)

The International Buddhist Temple is one of the largest Buddhist temples in North America, housing the largest Buddhist statue on the continent and the largest Buddhist mural in the world.

Reviewed By creneacet - Irving, United States

Simply peaceful, informative, full of beauty and nature. I enjoyed my tour of the Buddhist temple in Vancouver. It was free to enter, just leave a slight donation. Once you walk in, think positive thoughts, pray, become uplifted with spirituality and beauty.

A nice stroll through the tunnels with beautiful scenery of the mountains, the river running parallel to the tunnels, and of course the tunnels themselves. Make sure to stop by if you are crossing the road or if you are in the area!

Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park

Reviewed By charlotteava_health

Alexandra Suspension Bridge is a beautiful piece of BC history. It's situated just below hwy 1 and is a short walk from the road. The original bridge was built as part of the Cariboo Wagon Trail in 1861. The bridge that exists there today was built in 1926 as the original one was destroyed by high waters in the early 1900s. As you walk across the bridge deck you can see the rushing Fraser River below your feet. There's a charm to the bridge which may have something to do with it's rich history and the fever of the gold rush which once brought many people to the area.
