Vancouver
On a clear day or evening the views of the city of Vancouver from Grouse Mountain are magnificent. I love going to down to Granville Island wander through the market and enjoy the smells and colors. You can stick your head into the jewelry galleries, the prices are very fair and the art is unique. Take public transit, or if you are looking for something more interesting, take the little boat that connects Granville Island to Yaletown and other nearby areas.

Vancouver is a young city, even by North America standards. It was not yet a town when British Columbia became part of the Canadian confederation in 1871. The city’s history, such as it is, remains visible to the naked eye, eras staked east to west along the waterfront, from cobblestone late-Victorian Gastown to shiny postmodern glass cathedrals of commerce.

The Chinese, among the first to recognize the possibilities of Vancouver’s setting, came to British Columbia during the 1850s seeking the gold that inspired them to name the province Gum-Shan, or “Gold Mountain”.

They subsequently built the Canadian Pacific Railway, the transcontinental link that persuaded British Columbians to join that new nation back east called Canada.
The railway chose the town site of Granville, a ramshackle collection of shacks on the edge of Burrard Inlet, as its Pacific terminus.

The coming of the railway inspired the loggers and saloon-owners of Granville to incorporate as a city. They also shoes amore dignified name. On April 6, 1886, Granville Town site, with a population of about 400, became the city of Vancouver, after the British explorer who had famously toured the inlet here in 1792. Just two months later, however, the new city burned to the ground after a brush fire. By the time the first transcontinental passenger train rolled in May 1887, the city had been rebuilt, and grew rapidly.

The railway, along with Canadian Pacific’s fleet of clipper ships, gave Vancouver a full week’s edge over the California ports in shipping tea and silk to New York at the end of the 19th century. Lumber, fish, and coal from British Columbia’s hinterland also flowed through the port to world markets. The same ships and trains brought immigrants from all corners of the earth, helping the population grow exponentially to today’s 2 million.

A port city in resource-based province, Vancouver is relatively new to tourism and, for that matter, to its famous laid-back West Coast lifestyle. Most locals mark Expo ’86, when the city cleaned up old industrial sites and generated new tourism infrastructure, as the turning point.
Another makeover is in the works now, as Vancouver, with Whistler, prepares to host the 2010 Winter Olympics.

The supper mild climate, exquisite natural scenery, and relaxed outdoor lifestyle continually attract new residents, and the number of visitors is increasing for the same reasons. It’s no wonder it was voted the best place to live in the world, people often get their first glimpse of Vancouver when catching an Alaskan cruise, and many return at some point to spend more time here.
