Burnaby Mountain Park

Standing on the top of the park, you can see downtown Burnaby and the mountains in the distance, as well as downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park and the Lions Gate Bridge. The park is rich in vegetation, and you can smell the fresh air of the pine forest while walking along the forest trails. The park is famous for the Kamui Mintara sculptures created by Japanese sculptor Nuburi Toko and his son, which symbolize the harmonious unity of humans, animals, nature and God. The sculpture group consists of 29 hand-carved logs with animal images such as brown bears, owls, salmon and killer whales engraved on them.

This free attraction in Vancouver offers a panoramic view of the magnificent mountains, sea and city. The numerous totem poles are a highlight and a great place for tourists to take photos and check in. It is suitable for self-driving and has free parking.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Vancouver had rare good weather. I came to the park for a stroll. The warm sunshine added a touch of warmth to the somewhat cold air. The blue sky and white clouds, the city in the distance, and the totem nearby created such harmony. I hope the good times will last forever.

Burnaby Mountain Park ranks sixth among Vancouver's parks. It is located near the famous SFU. After taking the bus to SFU, get off at the third stop on the way back and walk to Burnaby Mountain Park. The bus stop is called Westbound University Dr. The area around this stop is very desolate and there are few pedestrians. Since SFU is built on the top of a mountain, if you walk from SFU to Burnaby Mountain Park, you will doubt whether you have made a mistake, because the road is almost flat and there is no feeling of going up a mountain. Walk directly from where you get off to the highest point of Burnaby Mountain Park, where there are some wood carvings and many very beautiful flowers in various colors. Today is Sunday (referring to Canadian time). Although there are not many people coming to play, it still makes people feel a little lively. There are more Indians among the tourists, followed by Koreans. There are not many Chinese today. When I was at SFU, I asked several Chinese students, and they had never mentioned Burnaby Mountain Park. I also asked the Chinese waiters in the Japanese restaurant, and they said they had never heard of it, so naturally they would not visit it. After getting off the bus, walk to the right in the direction of the car, keep walking, and walk as you see the road. It will take about ten minutes to reach the essence of the park. There is no gate, and any small road around is considered a gate. When you reach the essence, that is, the wood carving, you will be very excited because the scenery is so beautiful. The wood carving is related to mythological stories and a city in Japan. This Japanese city is the sister city of Shigatse Burnaby. Standing at the fence of the essence, looking down in the distance, you can see the beautiful bay. The bay passes through the mountains, and there are ships and sailboats sailing in it. It is very spectacular. At this time, you realize that you are on the top of the mountain. This is a place worth visiting. It is best to drive there by yourself. There is a parking lot. There is a restaurant in the essence and there are also wild areas.

Burnaby Mountain Park in Canada is adjacent to Simon Fraser University. It has convenient transportation and outstanding terrain. It is a great place to watch the sunset. Especially in the evenings of spring and summer, whether it is admiring flowers, watching the sunset or watching the lights of thousands of houses, it will make you feel relaxed and happy and linger. Of course, this park on the top of Burnaby Mountain is not only worth visiting in spring and summer. Standing in the park, you can see the downtown of Burnaby and the distant Maimai Mountains in the south, Downtown, Stanley Park and Lions Gate Bridge in the west, and Indian Arm and Burrad Inlet in the north. No matter when, looking far away, the water and sky are in sight, the breeze is blowing, and the hustle and bustle of the city is far away from your ears, making people forget about everything. Pick a piece of lawn, lie or sit, or accompany your family and lover, watch the sunset and the stars rise, and the leisure of life is extreme here.

I chose a sunny afternoon and came here with my friends. The park is very convenient to get to. You can take bus No. 95 directly to enjoy the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains. There are also some local handicrafts here. The park is free, and it is definitely not wrong to come here.

It is a very worthwhile place to visit for the following reasons: beautiful scenery, with mountains and water. It is suitable for all ages, with playgrounds for children, trails for young people to run, and paths suitable for walking. It is completely free and not crowded, which is completely unavailable in China.
