My husband and I enjoyed the Royal Abkhazi High tea service with our two kids. They were really interested in our warm scones! The food was also unusual compared the usual plain tea sandwiches. The gardens are quite lush and interesting with a turtle pond aswell. The meal felt relaxed and they were very accommodating to us. Thank you.

9. Chinese Cemetery
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 26 reviews
Reviewed By operalover939 - Toronto, Canada
The Chinese cemetery at Harling Point had its roots in the negative attitudes to East Asians that prevailed in Victoria and British Columbia until the second half of the twentieth century. The location, overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca, is superb, however, and the site is very peaceful, as it should be. Nearby is the famous Harpoon Rock, a glacial erratic at the edge of the war, which is a notable sign of the glaciation of the last Ice Age. Visit the cemetery: you won’t regret the time you will spend there.
