Exploring Vancouver is more like dating a girl than wandering through
a city. This bustling Canadian seaport is so beautiful that all I can do is
contemplate the magnificent natural scenes and urbane charm.
Located in mainland British Columbia,
this coastal city is home to roughly
603,000 people from around the world,
creating an ethnically and linguistically
diverse city. March to June is the best time
to visit and welcome spring’s countless
colors with lush green trees, fresh pink
cherry blossoms, yellow sunlight and the
blue sea contributing their beauty to the
cityscape.

3 layers of clothes and a thin blanket were
enough to keep me warm to start my
journey. From YVR airport, I took the
subway to Waterfront Station, which is
only 200m from the seaport and Canada
Place Square. I still remember the moment
when I became mesmerized by the
scenery. The blue-sky blends at the horizon
with the deep blue of the sea speckled with
white sails while the sunlight illuminates
the tranquil beauty of the land.

“Fly over Canada”

From Canada Place, I took the Sea Bus
ferry around the harbor. The ferry runs
every 15 minutes and it’s a wonderful way
to view the seaport, a must-see during
your trip to Vancouver.

I arrived in Vancouver on a fresh morning
before the sunlight has been able to warm
up the air. The chill didn’t matter though.
