Just take highway 1. Highway 1A goes through the jungle with no views, just trees. It'll take 15 minutes longer, and at most you'll run into a bear or something.

Scenery is good on both roads, mainly weather and time. In the morning and evening, the sun shines on the trees and the top of the mountain, the scenery is too beautiful, it depends on your luck.

I'm in Louise Lake today, but the road conditions of Icefield Parkway are very poor. I'm not dare to drive, and I heard that there is a section of toll, I'm afraid to go there and drive not far back, just to pay the toll in vain. Do you know how much the toll is ? Canada Q&A

Currently the biggest problem I encountered and hope everyone knows, today from Jasper to play out 93 Glacier Avenue to reach near Lake Louise normally want to pass through the nearby highway exit through Field to reach Golden, but the highway has been closed causing to go from Lake Louise back to Banff. The middle of the highway goes to the hot springs of Radium, more than 100 kilometers, in the complete darkness of the mountains, it is very challenging, and it is not easy to follow the car. Even my 20-year-old driver feels quite difficult, and there is also a lot of pressure from the heavy truck behind. The cars in this area have all changed lanes. Last week, someone said it was blocked for five hours from Golden to Banff. Combined with my situation today, friends from Jasper or Banff back to Vancouver should be fully prepared ? Canada Q&A

Dear experts, I have two questions to consult. I will go to Canada in July. 1. I will take Hong Kong Airlines from Shanghai to Vancouver, with a layover in Hong Kong (without leaving the airport). Do I still need to apply for a 'Hong Kong and Macau Pass'? 2. Is driving in downtown Vancouver very congested? Are there large parking lots for transferring to public transportation ? Canada Q&A

In fact, it's almost the same as in China. If you are a good driver in China, you will have no problem in Canada! When you rent a car, the website will tell you about the traffic rules and insurance in Canada. The service is very good. There is no toll on Canadian highways. The drivers there drive very strictly. When our domestic traffic is also like this, it will be a real strong country. Gasoline is cheaper than in China, about 5.6 RMB per liter, and there are differences in different places. Remember to fill up the gas (87 octane) if you have the chance ? Canada Q&A
