Top 10 attractions in Pemberton
Sea To Sky Highway
Sea To Sky Highway is the section of British Columbia Highway 99 that runs north from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver to Lillooet, and is also the main route from Vancouver to the ski resort of Whistler. On one side, it hugs the blue waters of Howe Sound, while on the other, it is flanked by the steep, verdant peaks of the Coast Mountains, climbing from the coast into the heart of the snowy mountains. The route connects small towns such as Squamish and Pemberton, with bays, forests, lakes, and waterfalls alternating along the way, offering a concentrated display of the coastal mountain scenery of British Columbia.Canada · West Vancouver
Canada Place
Canada Place is a Vancouver landmark located in downtown Vancouver. Formerly a terminal for the Canadian Pacific Railway, construction began in 1983 and opened in 1986 as the Canadian Pavilion at the Vancouver World Expo. Designed by Eberhard Rudler, the building's distinctive design features five fiberglass sails atop a ship, resembling a sailing ship and bearing similarities to the Sydney Opera House. Within, the complex serves as a major cruise terminal for British Columbia's South Shore, departing from here for cruises to Alaska. As a vibrant tourist destination integrating leisure, experiences, and services, it boasts numerous must-see attractions. "Flyover Canada," Canada's only 4D flight simulator, offers visitors an immersive experience of flying across Canada.Canada · Vancouver
Whistler Olympic Plaza
Whistler Olympic Plaza, located in the center of Whistler's main village, was the award plaza for all Whistler events at the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics. After the game, it was transformed into Whistler Olympic Plaza, which became an excellent place for local residents and tourists to rest, picnic and watch outdoor performances. In winter, the square is transformed into an ice skating rink and a snow park.Whistler · 25km from Pemberton
Gastown
Gastown is located in the northeast corner of downtown Vancouver and is the city's birthplace. The city's development here was closely linked to late 19th-century port trade and railway construction, and the neighborhood retains many historic buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Buildings along the street are mostly brick and stone, with common Victorian Italianate and Edwardian commercial architecture. Facades are typically narrow and tall, with shops often occupying the ground floor. Street paving, cast-iron decorative lamps, brick buildings, and street-facing shop windows together create a recognizable urban view.Canada · Vancouver
Victoria’s Inner Harbour
Victoria’s Inner Harbour is a waterfront living room that opens the entire city to the bay. During the day, it feels more like an open-air stage, with street performers often entertaining on the waterfront promenade, colorful water taxis shuttling between docks, seaplanes frequently taking off and landing just above the water, and most whale-watching tours departing from this harbor. You can take a water taxi to nearby docks to see houseboats and seals, or take a ride in a British-style sightseeing carriage for a leisurely loop around the harbor. Whether you want to admire the architecture, wait for the night view, or just relax in the sea breeze, there is something for everyone here. It is also a window into the British charm of Victoria.Canada · Victoria
Granville Island
Granville Island was once an industrial manufacturing area filled with factories and warehouses. After its transformation, it has become a waterfront district that brings together food, art, and handicrafts. Today, the island is home to numerous artist studios, galleries, theaters, and marinas. The rugged character of the old industrial buildings blends with the vibrant atmosphere of creative shops, and the laid-back pace perfectly reflects the local Vancouver lifestyle. There is a public house on the island serving small-batch craft brews that you can only find here, so if you get tired from walking, why not sit down and savor one. Taking a small ferry from downtown to the island is an interesting experience in itself, as the trip across the water takes just a few minutes.Canada · Vancouver
Lost Lake
Rather than calling Lost Lake a tourist attraction, it is more appropriate to call it a leisure attraction. In summer, Lost Lake is lush with greenery and is suitable for taking the family here for a walk, jogging, picnics and other outdoor activities. It can be said to be a representative of the Canadian environment, with lakes and mountains, quiet and fresh, and maintains the original natural style. Lost Lake is one of the five lakes in Whistler that is closer to the main village of Whistler and can be reached in a 15-minute walk from the main village. In summer, Lost Lake is lush with greenery, crisscrossed by hiking and off-road biking trails. Lost Lake in winter turns into a cross-country skiing and snowshoeing paradise.Whistler · 23.6km from Pemberton
Downtown Vancouver
Downtown Vancouver is located on a central peninsula in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with skyscrapers spreading along the bay, and mountains, the sea, and streetscapes overlapping in a single view. It is the core area for the city's commercial, financial, and cultural activities. It is primarily composed of dense urban blocks, high-rise buildings, commercial streets, and public spaces, while also preserving many buildings of historical value. Streets such as Granville Street and Robson Street form important urban axes, where office buildings, shopping malls, hotels, cultural buildings, and residences are mixed together. The waterfront side features a distinct urban waterfront view, connecting to the harbor, piers, and public walking spaces.Canada · Vancouver
Chinatown
Chinatown is one of the oldest and largest in Canada, formed in the 1880s when Chinese workers settled in the area, and it has continued for over a century. The main street, Pender Street, is lined with dense, old-style buildings, and walking through it creates the illusion of being in a traditional South China market street. Most buildings in the area are two to four stories high, arranged closely along the street, and interspersed with alleys, back lanes, and internal courtyards. The architecture generally features a blend of Chinese and Western styles, with notable features including deep-recessed balconies, strong vertical lines, high-ceilinged ground floors, and mezzanines.Canada · Vancouver
Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
Legislative Assembly of British Columbia is both the seat of the British Columbia legislature and a popular landmark. Designed by architect Francis Rattenbury, construction began in 1893 and was completed in 1897. The gray andesite facade, stretching over 100m, combined with the central dome and pavilions at both ends, presents a grand style that blends Neo-Baroque and Romanesque Revival architecture; atop the dome stands a golden statue of the navigator George Vancouver, which, along with the bronze statue of Queen Victoria on the lawn in front, creates a classic photo opportunity for visitors.Canada · Victoria

The Haitian Highway is also a very interesting complex of buildings here. Some of the facilities on the highway are also quite fun to visit. The Haitian Highway is also an option for self-driving tours. When the weather is good, the view is also very beautiful.

Strolling beneath the white sail-shaped roofs of Canada Place, I felt like I was sailing in the harbor! The five-sail building reflecting the shimmering waters of the bay was so stunning that I couldn't help but snap a dozen photos from different angles. Walking along the wooden walkway, watching seaplanes take off and land and seagulls fight over fries was truly captivating. I also stopped by the FlyOver Canada experience center, where the 4D flight simulator over the snow-capped mountains was incredibly realistic! The evening sun painted the harbor a molten hue. I sat on the steps, munching on ice cream and watching the cruise ships arrive and depart, lost in thought for an hour. My only complaint was the strong wind that tangled my hair—but that's Vancouver's effortless charm, huh?

Gastown has many pretty stores and cafes.but there are lots of homeless wandering around this area. Don’t walk around at late night. When you keep following down the Water street, you can see the steam clock and lots of designer’s stores and beautiful brunch cafes.

Vancouver's commercial, cultural, and economic center is full of tall buildings, and the mountain and sea scenery is a plus. The city center is home to Robson Shopping Street, Michelin restaurants, cafes, art galleries, gift shops and other shops. With convenient transportation, it is a must-visit place for sightseeing, leisure and experiencing the vitality of Vancouver.
