Buchart Garden
Butchart Gardens is located in Victoria, the main city of Vancouver Island, Canada. The park was established in 1904 and is a colorful and dreamy garden transformed by Mrs. Jennie Butchart on the basis of her husband's depleted limestone quarry. It is one of the must-visit attractions in Victoria, and the best time to visit is in April and May when most of the flowers in the garden are in full bloom. There are well-paved paths that pass through the flower beds, as well as small bridges and flowing water, making it a perfect place for girls to wear beautiful dresses and take stunning photographs.
This name is truly fitting, The Empress Hotel, located in downtown Victoria, looks like a castle, with the harbor bay across the street, surrounded by beautifully constructed shrubs. The whole hotel and area are filled with a strong British atmosphere, exuding classical beauty. In spring, flowers bloom everywhere, making it even more romantic with this European ambiance. The English afternoon tea here is also excellent, I recommend making a reservation in advance to enjoy it.
Go to the Fisherman's Wharf, admire the diverse styles of the boat houses, taste fine wine and seafood, then take a boat out to sea to see whales and go deep-sea fishing.
This Chinese town is the oldest in Canada and the second oldest in North America after San Francisco's Chinatown. It is not very big, but it has a huge archway like other Chinatowns. Since its establishment, Victoria's Chinatown has always been a vibrant place for the local Chinese community. There are many remaining Chinese-style buildings, historic Chinese schools, Chinese shops, restaurants, etc.
Ecologically diverse open park with a variety of flowers and plants, as well as peacocks, squirrels, and wild ducks roaming freely without fear of humans.
James Bay
Walk from Lighthouse Park, and you'll arrive here. Compared to the crowded Fisherman's Wharf and the harbor facing the parliament, there are much fewer people here. The vast beach is sometimes empty, very peaceful, and can rival a private beach. If you have time, come here on a sunny afternoon in spring, enjoy the waves or sit by the seaside, with distant mountains and take some great photos.
