    A very beautiful place. I first visited it in 2012 and have often reminisced about its leisurely beauty. I came again in 2019 and really enjoyed the tranquility.

    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.

    sunset in Fisherman's Wharf Park is really really nice and highly recommended. for us, when we visited here, the sunset is almost finished, but we can see the golden sky. not many tourists as the shops are all closed. you need to keep quiet when you walk around this little fishing village as this is the home to the locals. worthy to stay for a while and learn its culture.
