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.

Great place on a rainy day...full season lots of lovely paths, florals & views. Our 5 year old grandson was smitten and still talking about & reviewing the bird pictures he took home. Take time, sit wander slowly & enjoy! Also good value cost for seniors & children ♥️

With so many new highrise buildings going up in Downtown Vancouver you could be forgiven for missing this architectural gem. In fact we nearly did but we were drawn by the impressive entrance (see photo) containing such intricate detail. Once there we read the informative plaque and then went inside to be greeted by a most impressive Art Deco interior. Completed just before major recession hit there is so much impressive detail inside the building including the airy windows and the lifts. We spent a pleasant 20 minutes or so looking around and there is no charge so why not have a look? A pleasant oasis of Old Vancouver amidst so much of the new!

It was advertised on Global News and so glad it was! We would've missed this gem. The ride up was gorgeous. The museum was well laid out with many activities and so much information. The movie "Boom!" was well done and took place in the Concentrator which was very cool. We would do it again. It's great for all ages. It includes the movie, gold panning, an underground train ride and many buildings to browse through. Wow!

The Garden is temporarily closed and will reopen in 2021. Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden is a site of cultural heritage, learning, and reflection in Vancouver's historic Chinatown. Modeled after Ming Dynasty private scholar’s gardens, it is the first of its kind built outside of China. This neighbourhood gem has been named one of the world's "Top City Gardens" by National Geographic.

This is a small, peaceful place you can explore at your own pace. I think the small size is actually a pro. The guide was really great, and unless you are very knowledgeable on traditional Chinese culture, symbolism etc., I strongly recommend taking the guided tour. When I visited the tea ceremony was unfortunately not available. I would come back in the future both for that and to see the garden in a different season (still enjoyable in winter though).

Located in the busy Vancouver City Centre, visitors are easy to find it at West George Street and Hornby Street. It is a 23-story building mixed with commercial and cultural components. The sitting area at the ground floor is comfortable. The cafe inside the lobby provides a good atmosphere and you may sit there, enjoy a cup of coffee while browsing at the beautiful decoration. This is really a gem in this famous Downtown area.

Definitely would recommend visiting Dr. Miyazaki House to learn about the history of this house that dates back to its origin (before Dr. Miyazaki). But more importantly, Dr. Miyazaki's contributions to the community as a dedicated Japanese immigrant doctor and community community leader. It was great to have been provided a tour by an elderly patient of the doctor. This landmark is a tribute to Asian's forging affirmative pathways for future generations through service verses protest.

This is the first/last station for the Vancouver sky-train! Very nice architecture and very scenic! Could be crowded if visited during certain time of the day but still worth visiting!
