Vancouver is Canada's emerald jewel. It's simply a beautiful place to be:
From downtown you can see the blue-green Pacific Ocean, as well as glacial
fjords and steep mountains capped with snow and covered in dense old-growth
forest. The other reason we love Vancouver is because of its multicultural
flair. The city has long been a home to people from all over the globe,
especially from China and other parts of Asia.
The overall atmosphere is relaxed and outdoorsy, yet cosmopolitan: It's the
kind of place where outdoor gear shops coexist with high-fashion boutiques.
Add in the city's fondness for the arts and its generally health-conscious
and laid-back residents, and you've got a comfortable city that has something
for nearly everyone. Only the persistent drizzle and gray skies of winter and
spring keep Vancouver from being a total paradise.
