This is Beacon Hill Park, a place I always took my friends to when they visited me in Victoria! It's beautiful all year round, and it's a relaxing park where peacocks roam freely. There's also a great running course, so I highly recommend it! There's no entrance fee, but if you want to enter the mini zoo inside, there's a fee of 6,000 won.

The Parliament Building in Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, Canada, is a famous landmark of the city. It's amazing that this magnificent building, which looks like a castle, is still functioning as the Parliament Building🫢🇨🇦 You can look around the building during business hours. I visited in the evening, and the lighting was really beautiful and romantic, so I recommend you see it in person when you visit Victoria! Everyone was taking lots of photos♪ [Visited] August 2019

Fisherman's Wharf Introduction Richmond has a Fisherman's Wharf on its southern tip on the Fraser River, the full name of this Fisherman's Wharf is Stevestone Heritage Fishing Village. There are rich north coast resources here, the environment is very beautiful and tranquil, occasionally listening to the call of seagulls in the sky, very natural feeling. This time I was even more fortunate to see a sea lion. It was the first time I saw a sea lion so close and I was very excited. The double shadow of the boat moored on the shore is very beautiful, it feels like looking out it is a painting. There are very delicious must-try Fish&Chips, and you can also see fishermen selling their catch, because it coincides with the cherry blossom season in April, and you can enjoy the very beautiful cherry blossoms. A tourist attraction that is well worth visiting. #travel #overseas #foodie It turns out that you can sign up to see the whales to play here, and it should be a very good, very special experience the next time you have a chance to really go.

Canada's first Chinatown is located in Victoria. It has a long history and is full of antique red brick style.  The fonts of the street signs also retain the traditional right-to-left writing style, which is very distinctive. In addition, there is a Chinese Museum in Chinatown. If you are interested in learning more, you can go in and take a look at the history of Chinese in Canada.

This time we went to the location of Vancouver Island, the capital of British Columbia - Victoria. In terms of transportation, we first took a bus from downtown Vancouver to the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal, then took a ferry (BC Ferries) to Swartz Bay for about 1.5 hours. After getting off the ferry, we took a bus (No. 70/72) for about 45 minutes to downtown Victoria. The inner harbor of Victoria is very beautiful, and the buildings here are all very stylish. Walk slowly in the city center, eat Fish & Chip on the beach, then go to Fisherman's Wharf to eat oysters, stroll around the park, and sit down on the street, which is very leisurely. It’s been a day~😊 #CanadaTravel # Leisurely Freehand # sigh the world

#celebratewithtrip I start off from Victoria ,British Columbia, Canada located southern end of Vancouver Island. view here was stunning and quite laid back .

Passing by few small town like Sequim , Port Townsend, Port Ludlow before reaching Washington State’s largest city Seattle . Home to the first Starbucks. From Seattle Will heading up north to Peace Arch which is the border crossing with Canada . Before you do this makes sure you inform the car rental company you will be driving cross border and return other there. It was a fun trip which I get to see many nice view and most of the small town in Washington States are not infect with tourist so can have good picture taking opportunities. what a trip which take me around 20days #spooktaculartrip

#UnbeatableSeaview #LocalTravel #OverseasTravel #StarWritersRushRush As we all know, there used to be a Victoria City in Hong Kong. There is also a Victoria City in Canada. We are talking about Victoria, a city located on the island of Vancouver, which is also the capital of British Columbia, so you can find many city authorities. There is also a Victoria Harbor here, watching the sunset in this Victoria Harbor that still belongs to the Commonwealth, imagining that in parallel time, I am on Victoria Harbor in the far eastern province of Hong Kong, watching the magnificent sunset...

➿ Hotel name: Fairmont Empress 📍Address: 721 Government St, Victoria, BC V8W 1W5 Canada ✨Atmosphere/Facilities: Luxurious atmosphere with fragrant amenities. Clean and nice :) 💡Key Point: Harbor view, of course!! Rooms like the one I stayed in at the end of the BC Parliament Building, like Room 498, have a view of the beautiful harbor and the BC Parliament Building. It's a bonus that you can see the BC Parliament Building shining at night from your room💞 💵Average Room Price: Average CAD 350 💞Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ➕TMI) Fairmont Empress is the first thing that comes up when you search for accommodations in Victoria, Vancouver Island. I couldn't even imagine that the price per night would be over 350,000 won, but I was able to book it for CAD 260 at Trip.com's lowest price just in time for my travel period. Originally, it was just a regular city view, but I felt something was missing, so when I asked at check-in, they said I could get an ocean view/harbor view for an additional $30, so I changed it and was very, very satisfied. I also understood why they asked for a harbor view, and if it's a harbor view, I think it's worth staying at least once. The weather was also good, so I felt really good 🥰 One of the filming locations for Goblin is the Fairmont Hotel in Quebec! ㅎㅎ #Ho-kang-se #Unique accommodation #Hot place #Hotel recommendation #Ocean view #Harbor view #Victoria #Vancouver Island #Victoria travel #Canada Victoria #Victoria accommodation recommendation #Fairmont #Fairmont Empress #Vacation trip #Victoria Fairmont Hotel #Fairmont Hotel

Another great day trip! This was my first bus tour and while I didn’t care for the people I was on the bus with I had a great time in Victoria. Started with a long boat ride which I loved and it was a great time for some to catch up on sleep. Then we went to downtown Victoria and China town. A really cute town with unique sights, town hall, the harbour and China town are all so different. Last stop was Butchart Gardens. I won’t lie I did not expect much, I like exploring but a garden would never have been on my radar. It was amazing! Really. Flowers of all kinds everywhere and nothing looked the same at all. Always new things to look at, I think I took the most photos here. There were some crowds but it’s done in a way that the line keeps moving. If there are is people in the way give it a second they will move on soon. #victoria #bc #canada

Victoria is around an hour's ferry ride away from Vancouver and another 40 mins bus ride to the city center. It's a lovely small city that's charming and very picturesque. Of course, you have to visit the Parliament building, which is a grand building with lovely domes overlooking the harbor. The garden area around the building is also a very nice stroll. The harbor area is full of energy and life, and there always seems to be something going on. It's also a good place to stroll along and get lovely views of the water. There's also a Chinatown in the city which offers many cool narrow alleys.You can also get some Chinese food here. A bit afield, there's the market for the beginning (or end) of the long TransCanada highway. A nice sign marks that point and the area is also has great sea views. Overall Victoria is a great day trip from Vancouver. It's calm and quaint and offers you several attractions! This city is full of greenery! #travel #daytrip #victoria #canada

📌 Victoria Victoria is near Vancouver, Canada!! Isn't it so pretty~| The island is narrow, so it was easy for a woman to see it alone, and the ocean right in front made my heart and mood good!! If you want to feel European and British in Canada, I recommend Victoria~ #solotravel #Victoria #CanadaVictoria #autumnwoman

You can see the colors of each season, but especially in the summer, there is a rose garden festival, so you can take a picture of your life in a gorgeous rose tunnel! And each place has a theme, so it is good to walk along the road and take pictures by theme. You can also enjoy gardens from each country, but the British garden and Japanese garden are said to be the most popular among people. It is a must-visit place for those who love flowers. 🌺 #CanadaTravel #CanadaHotPlace #SoloTravel #HotPlace #ButchartGarden #Garden

Chinatown is one of the oldest districts of Victoria, the capital of British Columbia. Many buildings date to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when reformers associated with Sun Yat-sen organised opposition to the Qing Dynasty from here. Today Chinatown remains one of the best places to get Chinese food in the city and is a popular tourist destination. Chinatown is just a short walk from the Inner Harbour, where float planes and helicopters from Vancouver and ferries from Washington State arrive, and not far from the cruiseship terminal. #leaveyourmark #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #victoria #canada #chinatown #foodieheaven

Victoria, the capital of BC, is located right next to Vancouver. It is a beautiful city with many names, such as the British Garden City and the Flower City. It is even more beautiful when you go in the spring when the flowers are in bloom.

At dusk, our Ruby Princess Cruise and two other cruise ships are docked in Victoria, Canada, the most prestigious coastal city on Vancouver Island, the capital of British Columbia, Canada. Three large cruise ships docked, and thousands of people rushed off the boat. Victoria's small city streets were full of tourists. Almost all the shops sold souvenirs. We walked along the waterfront and walked to the parliament building. Beautiful night view of Victoria.

Victoria has two of the most popular activities, one is whale watching and the other is to visit the Butchart Gardens. The last time I watched a whale was in Florida, the second time I was still super excited. I watched the whales slammed a little out of the water and everyone cheered excitedly. The people on the shore were tents. Also excited to run along the coast to watch. I feel very envious when I feel that there is nowhere to go with Miss Fu on the weekend. I can camp here so that I can watch whales at such a close distance. Don't be too excited. The baby in Figure 3 was brought out by Dad so happy, watching us take pictures and he looked like a slap in the face. just didn't see the whale splashing, but I can see it already very lucky.

Victoria Butterfly Garden , BC, Canada, you can experience the beauty and charm of the tropical jungle, flamingos, poison dart frogs, large lizards and so on.

Many European and American couples bring children here. ~ Opening time: 10 am

#June travel support fund Since it was my first time in Australia, I eagerly rented a car in Melbourne and went to the 12 Apostles. As you drive through the wide plains and endless straight roads, the wide ocean appears What was most impressive was that even when I got on the bus late and got off, they waited patiently and when I heard the owner of the convenience store on the highway say, ‘How's up today? ' I thought I had lived leisurely in Korea. Of course, it is a multi-ethnic country and a country of immigrants, so they are generous, but for me who was born and raised in Korea, it was an impressive memory.

Banff is heaven on earth. It's as if you are in another world. I can go there every year during summer.

This guide focuses on food and attractions in Victoria and its surrounding areas. Here are some great spots to check out: ✅Red Fish Blue Fish A truly iconic eatery in Victoria. Their BC Halibut fish & chips, salmon tacos, and chipotle chowder are generously portioned. The salmon taco features tender fish with excellent black pepper seasoning, while the chowder has a sweet-sour coconut flavor—definitely worth trying. ✅Yua Bistro A Japanese restaurant near Chinatown with great lunch specials. Their nigiri sushi 🍣 is fresh and delicious. The pork tenderloin oju box features incredibly tender pork marinated in yuzu vinegar, which cuts through the richness. The eel rice bowl is decent but small in portion. The meal comes with many side dishes, and prices are reasonable—around $30 per person for a filling meal. ✅Murchie’s Fine Tea & Coffee A century-old tea shop established in 1894, said to be Canada’s oldest tea company. We recommend their Tieguanyin tea and lychee coconut milk tea—perfect as souvenirs. They also serve coffee and desserts, making it a great spot for afternoon tea. ✅Parliament Buildings One of Victoria’s landmarks, open to the public for free. Inside, you’ll find historical photos from its early days and a glimpse into the real legislative chamber. ✅Clover Point Park A great spot to spot otters! It’s quiet and surrounded by residential areas, perfect for a leisurely stroll. ✅Abbeymoore Manor If you want to experience Victoria from the last century, this B&B is a must!

Their most famous item is the German-style Bee Sting Cake. They also sell dried sausages, beef jerky, homemade goat cheese, and even have a British-style pastry shop. ✅Cathedral Grove The easiest way to experience Vancouver Island’s temperate rainforest.
