Queen Elizabeth Park

No wonder Queen Elizabeth Park is famous to Vancouver citizens, but also to the people of Hong Kong. The Miss Hong Kong pageants flew a long way from Hong Kong to Vancouver to take an outdoor video. At the park, the dome-shaped Bloedel Conservatory was the most distinctive structure inside which plants, exotic birds, fish and a Gift Shop could be seen.


The first extraordinary animals we saw were the beautiful ducks at the roadside of the drive. The ducks had their paradise – a natural pond big enough to house around thirty to forty ducks. Most of them were on shore welcoming us. Little Abby feared nothing of these animals, so she shouted as she walked towards them.

We did not worry much about these tame animals, but simply afraid that the ducks would bump Abby into the water or that Abby would drop into the water.

Turning a loop-shaped drive, our car arrived at the parking spaces at the top. There we dismounted and took a few photos of the fountains, at the Conservatory and the look-out. From the latter, a favourable high point in Vancouver where we could glimse at the tall buildings at Downtown as well as the mountains in North Vancouver. Lower down were paths with beautiful flowers on their sides.
