Introduction

The Capilano Suspension Bridge, located in North Vancouver, was built in 1889 and spans 140 meters over the Capilano River and dense forests, with a height of about 70 meters. Real estate developer MacKay, along with local First Nations people August Jack and Willie Khahtsahlano, used hemp ropes and thick wooden planks to construct the bridge, connecting the two sides of the valley. The First Nations people called the bridge the "laughing bridge," as it would make a laughing-like sound when swaying in the wind. Below the suspension bridge is a raging canyon, surrounded by tall, straight fir and cedar trees. Additionally, the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park offers many experiential activities, such as treetop adventures. Apart from the suspension bridge observation, the park itself is also worth exploring. Hiking trails allow explorers to experience the charm of nature, and various First Nations cultural projects offer colorful cultural experiences for tourists. Walking along the cliff, visitors can also overlook the valley scenery, making it suitable for those who enjoy outdoor sports.
