 Vancouver is a dynamic, multicultural city set in a spectacular natural environment. Majestic mountains, sparkling ocean, rainforests and beautiful foliage all four seasons makes Vancouver one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Vancouver is surrounded by water on three sides and overlooked by the Coast Range mountains which rise abruptly to more than 1,500 m. Its climate is one of the mildest in Canada.
With a present population of about 560,000 (estimated), Vancouver lies in a region of more than 2 million people. Vancouver is the largest city in British Columbia and the third largest in Canada. Vancouver is a major port and it is the primary city of western Canada, as well as one of the nation's largest industrial centers.
In recent years, Vancouver has expanded as a centre for software development and biotechnology, while film studios and the streets provide a backdrop for the developing film industry.
In addition to the city's scenic location, visitors enjoy beautiful gardens and world-famous Stanley Park, one of more than 180 city parks, and a combination of natural forest and parklands near the city center. |
