A plan for weekends in Vancouver

Bowen Island

When you've had enough of study and life in downtown, here is many places that you can enjoy your holidays surrounded by fresh air.

Above all places, my favorite place is Bowen Island.

It's located only 15min from West Vancouver's Horseshoe Bay by ferries.

Before arriving the island, you can enjoy cruising with looking at breathtaking sights of mountains.

If you want an active holiday, it offers hiking and cycling trails.

The nature in the island helps you to be relaxed. Also, The buildings in there are very pretty ! I heard many artists call Bowen as their home, and you can see their work in the markets.

Victoria

Do you have any idea where is the capital city of British Columbia?

To confess, I had no idea about that before I planned to visit Victoria.

As you can see, Victoria, a well-known tourism destination, is the capital city of BC. Because the city is in Vancouver Island, it takes a little bit long time to get there. For me, with friends, it doesn't matter how long it will take, though.

There are full of spots to visit like heritage architecture, museuns and shops.

The British Columbia Parliament buildings are one of the landmarks of Victoria.

You can join a tour at there while there is no assembly. It will be amused you a lot and is good for your listening exercise.

I like this British-like beautiful city. It really makes me feel traveling !
