Burnaby Mountain Park

利坞德宋应星

Standing on the top of the park, you can see Bennaby city center and the mountains in the distance, and you can also see downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park and Lion Gate Bridge. The park is rich in vegetation, strolling through the forest paths, and you can smell the fresh pine forest. The park is famous for the Japanese sculptor Nuburi Toko and his son&#39;s creation of Kamui Mintara sculptures, symbolizing the harmony of human, animal, nature and God. The sculpture group consists of 29 hand-carved log pillars, engraved with animal images such as brown bears, owls, salmon and orcas.

Deer Lake Park

If you are looking for a good place to relax around Vancouver, Bennaby Luhu (Deer Lake Park) is definitely worth a visit! It is like a paradise in the city, with beautiful lakes and mountains. There are flat plank roads around the lake, which are perfect for walking, jogging, or enjoying nature with children and pets. The lake is sparkling, seagulls and green ducks play in the water, and the snowy mountains in the distance are looming. The park is free, the lawn is suitable for picnics, and kayaks can be rented on the lake. In spring, flowers are competing, rhododendrons are especially romantic, and outdoor concerts in summer are even more lively. Especially in autumn, Luhu is even more beautiful, and it is a great place to enjoy maples around Vancouver. Luhu parking is also very convenient, highly recommended!
