Q: My husband and I are visiting Seattle this April. And we decided to drive up north to Vancouver. What can we do there? Any suggestions? I heard there's Chinatown in the city, is it true? Hehehe, we are Asian and we always drawn to Chinatown for food. Guide us please! Thanks!
A: There MOST definitely is a Chinatown!!! And its AWESOME! DO GO! A lot of incredible nature trails and hikes, if you are into that sort of thing, there's a lot of outdoorsy things to do. The best I can personally recommend for tourists would be either of the suspension bridges, The Capilano Suspension Bridge or Lynn Canyon. The first one is a lot more touristy, the second not AS much (ie its a bit less busy), but both are incredible bridges, part of beautiful trails! (for a pic, see http://www.stayandtour.ca/42-Capilano-Bridge-I.JPG ) I also highly recommend anything on commercial drive for a nice evening out, and a couple hours walking around Granville Island (which isn't really an island, but its a lovely boardwalk, lots of arsty shops and such). If you're interested in driving another hour, Whistler is absolutely stunning as well!! Public transport is really well organized too if you need to use it at any point. Any other questions, feel free to ask - I lived there for a few months last winter, its an absolutely gorgeous city!
