最佳选择市区和西区的景点
斯坦利公园斯坦利公园（Stanley Park）是北美最大的城市绿色空间之一，因其戏剧性的森林和山地海滨而受到尊敬。但是，这个400公顷的林地比外观更重要。该公园里有自然的小径，家庭友好的景点，喜欢日落的海滩和美味的饮食场所。为什么您应该在1917年至1980年间分阶段建造，公园的8.8公里海墙步道是温哥华最喜欢的户外聚会场所。它环绕公园，一侧提供壮观的海滨远景，另一侧提供茂密的森林。您可以在大约三个小时内走整个东西，也可以租用自行车以更快地覆盖路线。请记住：骑自行车的人和在线滑冰运动员必须逆时针在海堤上行驶，因此一旦开始就不会回去（除非您走路）。还要考虑遵循25公里的小径，这些小径遍布公园的内部，包括Siwash Rock Trail，Rawlings Trail和受欢迎的Beaver Lake Trail（有些路线仅适用于行人）。特别建议使用海狸湖路线；一个海狸家庭居住在那里，您可能会发现他们在大巢穴周围游泳。 The seawall also delivers you to some of the park's top highlights. About 1.5km from the W Georgia St entrance, you'll come to the ever-popular totem poles. Remnants of an abandoned 1930s plan to create a First Nations 'theme village,' the bright-painted poles were joined by some exquisitely carved Coast Salish welcome arches a few years back. For the full First Nations story, consider a fascinating guided park walk with Talaysay Tours. Continue on to the nearby Nine O’Clock Gun (it fires at 9pm nightly) and Lumberman's Arch, which is a good spot to see Alaska cruise ships sliding past. From here, you can cut into the park to the popular Vancouver Aquarium or continue around the seawall; it gets wilder and more scenic as you pass under the Lions Gate Bridge and face down the Pacific Ocean. Wildlife in Stanley Park Stanley Park is studded with appeal for wildlife fans. Neat the W Georgia St entrance lies Lost Lagoon, which is a bird-beloved nature sanctuary – keep your eyes peeled for blue herons. Its perimeter pathway is also a favored stroll for wildlife nuts. Plunging deeper into the park's more secluded trails, you'll also likely spot wrens, hummingbirds and chittering little Douglas squirrels. For an introduction to the area's flora and fauna, start at the Stanley Park Nature House. You'll find friendly volunteers and exhibits on wildlife, history and ecology – ask about their well-priced guided walks. While they mostly give humans a wide berth, you might also come across a coyote or two; aggressive incidents with coyotes are rare. However, be cautious and treat them with respect and give them a wide berth as well. Beaches in Stanley Park Second Beach is a family-friendly area on the park's western side, with a grassy playground, an ice-cream-serving concession and a huge outdoor swimming pool. It's also close to Ceperley Meadows, where Fresh Air Cinema offers popular free outdoor movie screenings in summer. For a little more tranquility, try Third Beach. A sandy expanse with plenty of logs to sit against, this is a favored summer-evening destination for Vancouverites. Opening hours and other practicalities The park is free to enter and open 24 hours a day. The park can be reached by taking bus 19 from downtown. There are additional fees for bike rentals and attractions in the park, like the Vancouver Aquarium. In summer, the seawall is packed with visitors; arrive early morning or early evening if tranquil nature-communing is your bag. There are often summertime queues to enter the aquarium; try to make it one of your first stops when you arrive at the park.
