点评:When I said I was going to Vancouver everyone said I had to go an ice hockey game and see Stanley Park. Tick and tick.
I was a little apprehensive as it was wet and I’d been warned about the wind off the Seawall, but it was worth the walk. The water is crystal clear, the kind you get in mountain streams, but this was part of the harbour. There was wild like a plenty and while the thought of 10ks in the rain wasn’t appealing, there’s something along the way to stop and look at regularly.
It was great to see the council or park team put pressure washing the benches as it’s those small things that show how much people care. Maybe 1klm into the walk you come across the totem poles, each with a unique purpose and story. Continuing along the Seawall walk we saw girl in a diving suit and other landmarks that spoke to the history of the area. I wanted to look at the lakes, so about half way along the walk, detoured inland to Beavers lake. It’s worth the detour with little streams and beautiful woodlands. While stopping to check directions, a bird landed on my phone, clearly used to getting treats from the tourists. I don’t encourage feeding wildlife unless under supervised conditions and didn’t have anything anyway, but they were happy enough saying hello.
We continued walking through to the beaches and despite it being 3 degrees, there was a dog out swimming and chasing balls. Can’t help but smile to see it, along with walkers and runners.
Don’t let the weather stop you, rug up and head out to Stanley Park. Worth the walk.
翻译:当我说要去温哥华的时候,大家都说我一定要去看场冰球比赛,还要去斯坦利公园。这两项都实现了。
因为天气潮湿,而且之前有人提醒我海堤上的风很大,所以我有点忐忑,但走一趟绝对值得。海水清澈见底,就像山涧溪流一样,但这可是海港的一部分。这里野趣盎然,虽然想到要在雨中走10公里听起来不太吸引人,但沿途总有可以停下来欣赏的风景。
看到市政委员会或公园管理团队用高压水枪清洗长椅,真是太好了,正是这些小细节体现了人们对公园的关心。走了大约1公里,你就会看到图腾柱,每一根都有其独特的用途和故事。沿着海堤继续前行,我们看到了一个穿着潜水服的女孩雕像,以及其他一些诉说着这片区域历史的地标。我想看看湖泊,所以走了大约一半的路程后,我绕道去了内陆的比弗斯湖。那里的小溪潺潺,林木葱郁,值得一游。我停下来查看路线时,一只鸟落在了我的手机上,显然它已经习惯了游客喂食。我不鼓励在无人监督的情况下喂食野生动物,而且我当时也没带食物,但它们似乎很乐意和我打招呼。
我们继续往前走,来到了海滩。尽管只有3度,但还是看到一只狗在游泳和追逐球。看到它,以及周围的步行者和跑步者,我不禁露出了笑容。
别让天气阻挡你的脚步,穿上暖和点,去斯坦利公园走走吧。绝对值得一去。
