Victoria was the last stop on our Alaskan cruise, and we only had around three hours to explore the city. We found some walking trails from the cruise ship terminal towards downtown and Chinatown (Canada’s oldest), where we grabbed a late night bubble tea snack before heading back to the ship.

Victoria Fisherman's Wharf is also a very interesting place. You can see many good projects on this pier. The overall condition of Fisherman's Wharf is not bad. You can also go fishing here, and many hotels can taste seafood.

Highway 1, the world's longest national highway, runs across Canada from east to west. There is a "Mile 0" sign at each of the east and west starting points, and the west one is in Victoria. There is another attraction next to the 0-kilometer monument, which is the bronze statue of Terry Fox.

Beacon Hill Park is Victoria’s oldest and most popular park. It boasts an ornamental lake with a beautiful stone bridge which is home to a vast array of wild fowl including Blue Herons that nest in the old growth trees that surround the lake.
