Can anyone tell me whether it's better to spend a day driving along the Seawall in Vancouver to Whistler or to Victoria Island? I'm having a dilemma, mainly because I'm not sure whether it's possible to return to Vancouver on the same day from Whistler ?

I just checked on Google Maps. It's about 134 kilometers and 2 hours from Vancouver to Whistler. I feel like it's doable to make a round trip in a day.

The answers are also quite complicated. Victoria is on Vancouver Island, home to Butchart Gardens, which is not comparable to an ordinary park and is worth a visit. Additionally, on the return trip to Victoria city, you can sightsee the city hall and more. Traveling to and from the island requires taking a ferry, so it will take a whole day, and you should leave early in the morning. Whistler is Vancouver's winter ski resort and has hosted the Winter Olympics. It is also a tourist destination year-round, with hot springs as well. The drive up the mountain via Sea to Sky Highway is beautiful, taking about 2 hours by car, so you can go back and forth in one day. Where to go ultimately depends on your own decision.

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

Today we are going from Kanmore to Jasper. Does anyone know how to buy tickets and where to buy them? (Yesterday afternoon, we went from Kanmore to Bow Falls and Surprise Corner.
