｜One-day trip to Granville and Gastown. It has been drizzling for the past few days 😟, but rainy days in Vancouver also have their own unique flavor. Write a one-day trip diary✨ I went out slowly at noon and took a taxi straight to the Public Market on Granville Island🧐! There are all kinds of colorful fruit and vegetable stalls 🥝🥑, as well as different small desserts 🍰. Saw the familiar canelé🥐 Highly recommend the puff pastry soup here! p13 14😋It was hot after one bite, a satisfying little happiness in winter💕 After that, I wandered around the park, where there were many small shops🛍. The weather was not very good and it was foggy when taking photos. p4 5 6 10 12📷 Took a taxi from Granville to Gastown🚕 at night. It feels particularly foreign here, a bit like the UK. Just take a picture and it will look good 😍. The steam clock rings every 15 minutes. I didn't expect the sound of the steam clock to be so rough🎺 I was too lazy to go out at night, so I ate at Hydra🥂, which has a high Google rating downstairs from the hotel. The lamb chops were very good and juicy👍, but the beef skewers were average, not recommended🙅‍♀️. It was cold when it first came up.

【Granville Island】This island, with its strong artistic atmosphere, is especially irresistible when the weather is clear with its vibrant colors! I usually take the kids to 【Kids Market】 to have some fun, where there's an indoor playground, a hair salon, and lots of shops selling things for kids. We also visit the 【Granville Island Public Market】 to browse the big market, where the seafood and fruits are very fresh, and there's a wide variety of meats and cheeses, as well as all sorts of local homemade products like honey, chocolate, nuts, etc. The famous donut shop 【Lee's Donuts Granville Island】 is also here! There are many seafood restaurants, and one we often go to is 【The Vancouver Fish Company】 by the lake, which has a great view and fresh seafood; the seafood pasta is a must-order every time! The other restaurants are also good. There's a food court, and on a nice day, you can buy some tasty food and eat it on the benches by the lake, watching street performers, but be careful not to let the pigeons snatch your food!

I thought it was just some fancy little islands, but surprisingly there were so many delicious restaurants! It’s really delicious! 😋✨ To Granville Island, you can take the skytrain to Oakridge-41st Avenue, and then take bus No. 50 directly there. Alternatively, you can take the skytrain to Yaletown-Roundhouse station (introduced in the previous article) and then take a boat to Granville Island. Personally, I recommend taking the bus because it is much faster. There are many small shops opened by artists on the island. The things sold there are very creative. I remember there was one that specialized in selling witch brooms. The whole island is full of creative artistic atmosphere, and the whole island is colorful! ✨ There is also a shopping mall dedicated to children.

It is also very popular among local families. There is also a food plaza and a local street market on the island. I highly recommend the fruit tarts and puff pastry clam soup!

Went to Granville Island at the end of June and of course took pictures with the big plaque upon arrival. Because Granville Island is close to the sea, it’s easy to see boats, yachts, and there are shops on the island specializing in fresh seafood and lobster rolls. Not only are there many birds, but there are also many people on the weekends. Some people will busking the guitar while playing the harmonica. You can sit on the seaside and listen, which is very relaxing There is also a food court on the island with some tasting stalls (the one in the last 2 pictures is delicious) and dishes from around the world, such as Italian ice cream, pizza, two-dish rice, burritos, fried fish and chips, Japanese bento, and more. There are also souvenir shops and clothing shops on the island that are cheap but aesthetically pleasing.

I think the atmosphere of Canada is like this, quiet and leisurely. A slightly cool breeze and the sound of the traffic lights flashing. This is the atmosphere of Canada that I think of. There is a small island called 'Granville Island' near downtown Vancouver, and you can go there by taking a small boat like this. I remember the captain who was driving the boat saying that the University of Montreal, where my friend goes, is a really good university. When I saw a picture of cheese at the market in Granville Island, my wife came to mind first. I didn't know at the time that I would marry someone who likes cheese. I used to just buy a cheap coffee and walk around here. A seagull living on Granville Island. It's confident enough to pose even when there's a person next to it. I heard that there's an art school near Granville Island, so the factories are decorated nicely.

There are generally 50 vendors selling a wide range of items, from Mexican, Asian, Greek and deli food to candy and snacks.
