City of Clouds and Big Windows

by el_ruso - last update: Jul 5, 2005

view from Stanley Park
This is definitely a must see! It is a vibrant city which is clean and laid back. The natural setting is wonderful, full of wildlife and beautiful scenery.
view from English Bay
Basically, the city seems to offer the benefits and lifestyle of Manhattan without the negatives. Highrises are not too high, and the space between them is full of light and greenery. The city is immaculately clean, and its residents very friendly.
Sunset Beach
Another draw is its mix of cultures. The city has a significant Asian, particularly Chinese, population. Also the heritage of aboriginal people of Haida and Kwakiutl tribes is sincerely embraced by newcomers and readily shared by the native people themselves.
