Food scene

A cozy semi-quiet place to get chat with a friend, get some work done or drink bubble tea, a popular milk or fruit tea drink mixed with deliciously chewy tapioca pearls. Gets noisy when a lot of people order slushy drinks (because of the ice grinder) but is a great place otherwise.

Sightseeing

Feel like you’re far away from the city within minutes! There’s one paved road leading all the way to Southridge, but if you bring shoes with solid grip you can take one of the dirt trails into the ravine itself for a bit of urban forest exploration.

Very large, very busy, very commercial place for shopping. Also has a theatre. You won't find many tourist trinkets here, though.

旅行者建议

出行

You can pay for transit tickets by tapping your credit card

Translink will automatically charge you the correct amount: $3, $4.25, or $5.75 depending on how many zones you cross.
省钱小贴士

Purchase a Compass card if you're here for a while!

There’s an initial $6 deposit, but then you pay $2.40, $3.45, or $4.50 instead of $3, $4.25, or $5.75, depending on the number of zones (with savings of $0.60, $0.80, $1.25).
习俗和文化

People tend to say "thank you" when exiting a bus.

It just sort of started at one point. And it's completely optional, though you'll frequently hear the locals do it.
