π¨π¦ Vancouver 5-Day 4-Night Trip (Lazy Edition) π΄βοΈ
π Day 1: Whale Watching Slept in at Hyatt Regency (great location!). π± Brunch at Jam Cafe β decent but overhyped. π Go early! By 11 AM, the line was crazy. π³ 12 PM: Prince of Whales Whale Watching Tour (runs until mid-Nov β highly recommend!). π± Dinner at Tabom (Korean) in DT β solid choice. π Day 2: Victoria π Bring $5 cash for transit day pass. 9 AM: Took BC Ferries to Victoria. πΆ No car? Arrive 30 mins early. With car? Go earlier! π» Butchart Gardens (closes at 4 PM). π» BC Legislative Assembly (closes at 5 PM). π» Fishermanβs Wharf (near Parliament). π» Explored Sidney town β Glass Beach was stunning! π π Day 3: Downtown Vancouver π» Capilano Suspension Bridge β take the free shuttle from hotel. Go at 10 AM for fewer crowds. Takes ~1 hour. π» Afternoon: Gastown, Canada Place, and Stanley Park biking π΄. π Rent bikes/scooters everywhere! π± Dinner at Pin Pin Xiang Guo (hot pot) β delicious but expect 1+ hour wait! π Day 4: Whistler π» Morning: UBC campus stroll. π± Lunch at Hutong β reserve Peking duck in advance! π» Drove Sea-to-Sky Highway to Whistler ποΈ. π» Audain Art Museum (closes at 6 PM) β insta-worthy but skip if short on time. π± Dinner at Araxi (meh π).

Best dim sum ever π€€. π Reserve a day prior β impossible to walk in! #Toronto #VancouverTravel #StudyAbroad #LazyTravel #ReadingWeek #Victoria #Whistler ππΈβ¨
