#Vancouver Not all modern architecture will stand the test of time, but it's still nice to see when a city tries to build something unusual. No change = no gain.

#Vancouver Attention! There are trolleybuses in Vancouver! Thank you for your attention! In fact, it's quite rare to see any public transport in America other than subways and buses. In Toronto, for example, there are trams! (surprisingly, they're called…

#Vancouver I continue to walk around the city and showcase the historical architecture in its various districts. Vancouver has many beautiful buildings, but the Dominion Building (1910) (2), the Waterfront Railway Station (1914) (3), and the Sun Tower…

#Vancouver I'll add some more photos of the mountain trails, which you can reach by taking a cable car. There are warnings everywhere that there are moose, bears, and mountain lions in the forests, but we didn't encounter any of them at all))

#Vancouver This is what it looks like to climb a mountain by cable car, and this is the view that opens up at the top! This was the first time I've seen real MOUNTAINS. There aren't many places in the world where you can behold such beauty!

#Vancouver If you have the option to rent a car, then the province of British Columbia is your paradise. You just need to drive out of the city, and the mountain ranges begin, which you won't get tired of driving along, even for hours. Along the way,…

#Vancouver At the top of the mountain, you can check out a fenced area where bears live. So to speak, it's a demo version of the ones that tourists sometimes encounter when they stray too far into the mountains))

Of course, people go to #Vancouver for the nature.

Of course, people go to #Vancouver for the nature. The west coast of America is truly unique, with endless expanses of dense mountainous coniferous forests, and not going for at least a couple of hikes would just be unrealistic. My friend and I first chose…

#Vancouver Near Chinatown, there's another notorious area of Vancouver - Downtown West-End. If you ask a local where you should never go, they'll say - West-End. Over the past few years, the area has increasingly deteriorated into a "dead zone", where you…

#Vancouver There are a lot of Chinese people in Vancouver. According to official data, about 20%, while in Canada as a whole, the percentage is less than 5%. So of course, there's a Chinatown here! There's also one in Toronto, but it's much less vibrant.…

#Vancouver The Port of Vancouver is a fully-fledged transport hub of the city. It is located in an ideal bay, where ocean waves do not reach it. From here, you can take a ferry to neighboring cities or islands, fly to Seattle by seaplane, or embark on a…
