Victoria’s Inner Harbour

6.5

4.3/5

65 reviews

Victoria’s Inner Harbour is a waterfront living room that opens the entire city to the bay. During the day, it feels more like an open-air stage, with street performers often entertaining on the waterfront promenade, colorful water taxis shuttling between docks, seaplanes frequently taking off and landing just above the water, and most whale-watching tours departing from this harbor. You can take a water taxi to nearby docks to see houseboats and seals, or take a ride in a British-style sightseeing carriage for a leisurely loop around the harbor. Whether you want to admire the architecture, wait for the night view, or just relax in the sea breeze, there is something for everyone here. It is also a window into the British charm of Victoria.

Legislative Assembly of British Columbia is both the seat of the British Columbia legislature and a popular landmark. Designed by architect Francis Rattenbury, construction began in 1893 and was completed in 1897. The gray andesite facade, stretching over 100m, combined with the central dome and pavilions at both ends, presents a grand style that blends Neo-Baroque and Romanesque Revival architecture; atop the dome stands a golden statue of the navigator George Vancouver, which, along with the bronze statue of Queen Victoria on the lawn in front, creates a classic photo opportunity for visitors.

Victoria’s Chinatown National Historic Site

Victoria’s Chinatown National Historic Site

4.9

Victoria · 138m from downtown

Victoria’s Chinatown National Historic Site is one of Canada's earliest Chinatowns, with its origins dating back to 1858. There is a large Chinese population in Canada, and almost every major city has a well-established and mature Chinatown; however, Victoria’s Chinatown National Historic Site possesses an unforgettable charm. This charm stems from its history of vicissitudes. Long ago, overseas Chinese who made their fortunes building the railway flocked here to open shops, and for a time, Victoria’s Chinatown National Historic Site was bustling and vibrant. Later, with the rapid development of Vancouver, many Chinese residents moved to Vancouver, leaving behind their old homes in Victoria. The Chinese population dwindled, and Victoria’s Chinatown National Historic Site lost its former glory. Many shops have since changed hands, and only the sign on the "Gate of Harmonious Interest" tells passing visitors that this was once a place where Chinese people struggled and a testament to how they worked together to survive in a foreign land.

Bigen Hill Park is located in the south of downtown Victoria and is an ancient park in the city. There are many very beautiful and elegant small gardens built and maintained here. Walking in them is refreshing and refreshing. There is a bird sanctuary in the park, so you can often hear the sweet and crisp birdsong. These beautiful birds add life to the park, and swans and wild geese swim in the pond, creating a harmonious and loving atmosphere. Wonderful atmosphere. The scenery of Bigen Mountain is beautiful.

Scottish entrepreneur Robert Dunsmuir, who made his fortune in coal mining, was the owner of Craigdarroch Castle. He invested heavily in this mansion, which took 3 years to build and was completed in 1890. The interior structure features over 2,000 pieces of high-quality oak transported by train from the United States, combined with luxurious stained glass, all intricately crafted to create magnificent rooms. Craigdarroch Castle is well-equipped, featuring 39 rooms, including a dance hall for children to learn dance. Ascend the stairs to the tower at the top, and you will reach a spot to overlook the cityscape of Victoria. The distant Juan de Fuca Strait offers stunning scenery, and Victoria appears vibrant, set against the backdrop of the sea and flowers.

The 565-acre building is quaint and well-preserved, and walking into Harry's Castle feels like stepping back in time. As far as the eye can see, there are finely crafted ceilings, ornate decorative curtain walls, and huge oak beams and columns. Just imagine how many celebrities, business elites and royal aristocrats used to gather and chat in front of the black marble fireplace in the living room.
