2025 Recommended Airport in Richmond (Updated Sep)

Just returned from Canada, but my heart is still lingering in that picturesque scene of red maple leaves and white snow-capped mountains! If you also yearn for pure natural scenery and vibrant cities, this route I personally tested is definitely not to be missed! Itinerary Overview (5 days): Vancouver’s urban beauty -> Rocky Mountains’ breathtaking wilderness * Day 1: Vancouver Urban Charm * Morning: Arrive at Vancouver International Airport (YVR). Take the convenient Canada Line light rail directly to downtown and check into a downtown hotel. After a short rest, head straight to Stanley Park. Rent a bike and ride along the seawall trail, feel the Pacific breeze, and admire the majestic Lions Gate Bridge and the harmonious city skyline. * Afternoon: Stroll through the historic Gastown, listen to the unique melody of the steam clock chiming on the hour. Explore interesting local designer shops and cafes along the cobblestone streets. In the evening, visit Granville Island Public Market, immerse yourself in the aroma of delicious food and lively artistic atmosphere, and be sure to try the freshly baked donuts or handmade ice cream! * Night: Go up to one of Vancouver’s highest viewpoints, such as the Harbour Centre observation restaurant or bar, to enjoy the sunset and the harbor’s night view as the city lights come on. * Days 2 and 3: Deep into the Heart of the Rockies - Banff National Park (drive or take a connecting flight) * Day 2: Drive into Banff town, a small town surrounded by mountains that is a scenic attraction itself. In the afternoon, visit Lake Minnewanka, with its emerald clear waters like a gem. Take a large eco-friendly boat tour to explore the lake’s scenery and listen to the guide’s stories about the valley (focus on the experience, avoid pure price info). * Day 3: The highlight day! Arrive early before the crowds at Lake Louise. The lake looks like a spilled bucket of blue-green paint, reflecting the majestic Victoria Glacier. Walk along the lakeside boardwalk or enjoy an English afternoon tea with a view at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise (reservation required). In the afternoon, a short drive brings you to Moraine Lake. Although the mountain road is winding and you need to check traffic info in advance, when the blue lake in the Valley of the Ten Peaks appears like silk, it’s absolutely worth it! (In autumn, usually from mid-October to spring, private vehicles are restricted; shuttle buses are required, so check ahead). * Optional extension: If you have the energy and time, a short hike by Moraine Lake (such as the Rockpile Trail for panoramic views) is highly recommended. * Day 4: Icefield Adventure and Farewell to the Rockies * Morning: Head north along the magnificent Icefields Parkway, one of the world’s most beautiful highways praised by National Geographic, where you’ll want to stop frequently for photos! The main goal is the Columbia Icefield. Here, you can take a unique all-terrain ice explorer bus onto the Athabasca Glacier, wear warm boots to step on the ancient ice sheet, and enjoy a cup of glacier water tasting the pure, crisp nature (emphasize the experience, avoid price details). * Afternoon: Experience the thrilling Glacier Skywalk, a glass observation platform suspended over a canyon. Afterwards, drive to Calgary or Banff town for accommodation, preparing for your return trip. * Day 5: Departure or Short Rest * Morning: If leaving from Calgary, it’s recommended to visit unique shopping spots for souvenirs or do a simple city tour (such as the Calgary Tower for panoramic city views). * Afternoon: With your camera full of beautiful scenes and wonderful memories, set off on your journey home. Practical Tips * Best Season: Mid-September to early October is the peak season for stunning fall foliage and relatively comfortable hiking weather (some high-altitude areas in the Rockies may see snow as early as September). * Clothing: The “onion layering method” is essential! Even in summer, the Rockies have large temperature differences between morning and evening, so a windproof and warm jacket (like a light down or fleece) is necessary. Waterproof hiking shoes are a must. * Advance Booking: National park accommodations, shuttle buses to popular spots (like Moraine Lake), icefield explorer buses, and observation platform experiences are very popular, so book early! * Language: English is common; in some cities like Montreal, French is predominant. * Must-have Apps: Navigation (Google Maps), weather (to check mountain conditions), national park official websites (for road conditions, wildlife alerts, fire information). Feelings: A trip to Canada is a balm for the soul. From the relaxed vibrancy of Vancouver to the breathtaking Rockies, every step feels like walking through a postcard. Remember to slow down, take a deep breath of the crisp air, and truly feel the purity and grandeur this vast land offers! This journey is absolutely worth every hour you spent planning!

When I return to Canada on 9/27/2022, I choose to take KE Airlines to transfer in Incheon. It only takes more than two hours from Taiwan to Incheon. During the transfer, I can browse and shop at the Korean airport, and my luggage will be checked directly into Vancouver without causing me any trouble. Korean Air's seats are spacious, comfortable, neat and clean, the flight attendants are friendly, and the price of the ticket can save at least 3,000 to 4,000 yuan compared to the price of a direct flight, so choosing Incheon for a transfer is also a good choice. 😄

Vancouver International Airport, Canada's second largest airport, is also the second busiest international airport. A variety of lounges, restaurants and service facilities are relatively complete, especially ice wine is worth buying, as a hand letter. The airport is very large, the security check time is slightly longer, pay attention to reserve more time, the indoor space is more spacious and bright, and the service is also good. It is one of the best airports in North America. In 2007 and 2010, it won the SKYTRAX North America Best Airport Award.

#ImmigrationRelatedInformation 【ImmigrationRelatedInformationatVancouverInternational Airport,Canada!】 We will share information related to immigration at Vancouver International Airport, Canada! If you are not a transit passenger and your destination is Vancouver, after getting off the plane, first follow the flow of people to the immigration area. When you arrive at the immigration area, there will be a machine called a kiosk terminal, so use it to enter the details of the immigration inspection, such as the number of days you will be staying, carry-on baggage, and purpose. (The language can be set to Japanese) After entering the necessary information at the kiosk terminal, a receipt-like paper will come out, so take it and head towards the immigration officer. If you show the receipt to the immigration officer, he will let you through without any conversation, so if you go through and have checked baggage, collect your baggage and head to the exit. On your way to the exit, there will be a customs officer, so hand him the receipt from the kiosk terminal, exit the exit, and immigration will be complete. Please use this as a reference! #Canada#Trip to Canada #Tourism in Canada #Study in Canada #Vancouver #Tourism in Vancouver #Trip to Vancouver #Study in Vancouver #Vancouver International Airport #Immigration Inspection #Entry-related Information #Entry

#FebruaryTravelSupportEvent I went to Vancouver. I saw the mid-term clock and rode a boat that looked like a taxiㅎㅎ I couldn't miss Walmart!!! Lastly, I went to the SkyTeam lounge during a short layover in Vancouver and the hanging picture frames were impressiveㅎㅎ I recommend traveling to Vancouver!

You can enjoy delicious cinnamon rolls at Vancouver Airport. The fluffy dough, slightly sweet and fragrant with spices, is irresistible! They are also a perfect accompaniment to a cup of coffee to soothe your travel fatigue. There are also totem poles, which are typical of Canada, inside the airport. Their unique and historic design will make you want to stop and look at them. Your time at the airport is also a fun way to experience Canadian culture. Be sure to check them out when you depart or arrive! #0YenTravelNovember

#10월여행지원금이벤트 Vancouver International Airport. The airport is bright and nice because it has glass windows. I transited through this airport on my way to New York, and there are many convenient facilities inside the airport, such as restaurants, cafes, and duty-free shops, so the waiting time was not boring at all. I especially liked that there was a Tim Hortons.

#10월여행지원금이벤트 A restaurant in the duty-free area of ​​Vancouver Airport. Vinovolo is a restaurant that sells Italian food. Even though it was early in the morning, there were many customers eating, and only wine, coffee, and drinks were available. If you have a long wait, it seems like a good place to rest while drinking coffee.

#October Travel Support Event Vancouver International Airport, Canada. I transited there to catch a flight to New York, USA. The airport is quite large, and there are various things to see in front of the gate, a playground for children, duty-free shops, and other convenient facilities. There was so much to see that it felt like I was at an exhibition.

#10월여행지원금이벤트 Tim Hortons, a Canadian Starbucks-level brand. It's a brand that recently entered Korea. I couldn't try it in Korea because there aren't many stores yet, but I got to try it in Vancouver. The price was cheaper than Starbucks, and it took a long time to get the drink, but it was delicious.

#10월여행지원금이벤트 Starbucks at Vancouver Airport. The prices are not much different from Korea. The variety of drinks is diverse and the variety of cookies is more diverse than Korea. Tax is paid separately from the displayed price. There are also various MDs, so it was good for buying souvenirs.

#10월여행지원금이벤트 Starbucks in the boarding area of ​​Vancouver International Airport. In addition to coffee drinks, there are also water and bottled drinks that can be purchased right away without waiting, so it is good for those in a hurry. There are also various desserts such as cakes, so it is a good store to stop by when you are hungry before boarding the plane.

#10월여행지원금이벤트 Starbucks that I stopped by at Vancouver Airport, Canada. It is a takeout-only store without tables. It is located in the boarding area after check-in. The staff was friendly, and although it is a small airport store, there are many different types of MDs, so it is good to buy a city mug at the airport.

Vancouver's window! On the way to immigration, you'll be greeted by unique artworks It's less strict than American immigration, but they still asked about your purpose and where you'll be staying #FreeTabi

The first time I came to Vancouver, I saw jellyfish 🪼 as soon as I got off the plane. The airport was not as big as I imagined. It felt fresh.

After entering the Vancouver departure lounge, it was still early, so I wandered into the duty-free shop. I saw the green packaging and curiously checked it out. It turned out to be quite special (maybe I am not well-informed!). It was Canadian Crown Apple Barrel Whisky, which had the aroma of Australian green apples and was very special.

So much to see walking around the YVR airport, definitely take the time to appreciate the local art displayed. Airports tend to be stressful and sterile places, purely just for your transit but Vancouver is a beautiful place to take in when heading to your next destination.

Langley, outside Vancouver... There is a Korean restaurant called "KOVEN", a compound word of Korea Vancouver. Enter while being greeted kindly by the staff!! Looking at the menu... Nakji Dolsotbap is delicious!! Not spicy or salty.. So delicious Dolsot Bibimbap!! This is a restaurant where every menu I chose did not disappoint. The soft tofu stew was also super delicious... If you visit Langley, stop by KOVEN and enjoy a happy meal.
