Victoria, Canada 🍂

When you arrive in Victoria, you'll discover that it's the capital of British Columbia—a large inland island even bigger than Taiwan, 🌺 accessible only by a giant ferry. 🌟 The journey is picturesque, and this garden-like city is often called Canada's Provence. It's also a political hub,🏨 with its grand Parliament Buildings and the Empress Hotel. The area is vast, allowing you to switch seamlessly between urban and rural life. 🌻 🚗 Victoria City Hall: Built in 1891, this magnificent building was designed by the renowned architect Herman Otto Tiedemann Lange in the neo-Gothic style. It's not only the seat of the BC provincial government but also one of Victoria's most iconic landmarks. Highly 🌻 recommended for a visit! 🏛️ 🚗 The Empress Hotel: Step into a room or suite here, and you'll experience royal history with panoramic views of Victoria's Inner Harbour. This historic and iconic building, with its distinctive green dome and opulent interiors, embodies the luxury and elegance of its time. The Empress Hotel is also a major landmark in downtown Victoria. 🏨 🚗 Chinese Canadian Museum in Victoria The Chinese Canadian Museum in Victoria is small—less than 200 square meters, just a bit bigger than a shop—but it's definitely worth a visit. 🏛️ 🌻The exhibits tell the story of the first Chinese immigrants in Canada, from gold mining to building the Pacific Railway, to the head tax and Chinese Exclusion Act, and finally to the Canadian government's apology. Victoria's Chinatown is the first Chinatown in Canada. 🌟 #VictoriaBC #CanadianHistory #CulturalHeritage #TravelCanada 🌺
