Yaletown For a taste of local designers and a smaller boutique feel, Yaletown is rapidly becoming the place to see when visiting Vancouver. It has a rich history, now affectionately known as the "warehouse district". The revival of once run down buildings and its water's edge location has given it a name for great food and great shopping. Its eclectic restaurant choices make it a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. |

1,000 acres of lush greenery, crystal lakes, majestic woods and beautiful seawall gently transport you into a fairytale setting within the city. Located in the West End of downtown Vancouver, whether you are walking, biking, or taking a horse drawn carriage through the park, it has definitely gained its title of "The Jewel of Vancouver". It is a place of spiritual regeneration, restoration and renewal: a place to take exercise before a stressful day, or to unwind at its end.
