Vancouver is a dynamic, multicultural city set in a spectacular
natural environment. Majestic mountains, sparkling ocean, rainforests and beautiful
foliage all four seasons makes Vancouver one of the most beautiful cities in
the world.
Vancouver
is surrounded by water on three sides and overlooked by the Coast Range mountains
which rise abruptly to more than 1,500 m. Its climate is one of the mildest in
Canada.
With a present population of about 560,000 (estimated), Vancouver
lies in a region of more than 2 million people. Vancouver is the largest city
in British Columbia and the third largest in Canada. Vancouver is a major port
and it is the primary city of
western Canada, as well as one of the nation's largest industrial centers.
In recent
years, Vancouver has expanded as a centre for software development and biotechnology,
while film studios and the streets provide a backdrop for the developing film
industry.
In addition to the
city's scenic location, visitors enjoy beautiful gardens and world-famous Stanley
Park, one of more than 180 city parks, and a combination of natural forest and
parklands near the city center.
