With its outdoor tree-lined courtyard and charming mix of shops and services, City Square has all the ambience of a European village.
Kirin Seafood Restaurant is on Cambie and 12th Ave just across the street from Vancouver City Hall and the Plaza 500 hotel, and within walking distance of popular Granville Island. Two hours of free parking is available with any retail purchase.

Perhaps the most visited park in Vancouver, Queen Elizabeth Park is close to 500 feet above sea level. One of the highest points in the city of Vancouver, it is aptly referred to by locals as "Little Mountain". Tourists, locals, and newly weds (perfect for wedding photos!) love this park. It is certainly worthy of a visit.

Built in 1986 by 52 artisans from Suzhou, the Garden City of the People's Republic, is the first authentic Ming Dynasty-style garden outside of China. It incorporates design elements and traditional materials from several of Suzhou's centuries-old private gardens. No power tools, screws or nails were used in the construction. Included in the price of an entrance ticket to the garden, is a 45 minute guided tour offered throughout the day.
