With an open kitchen and artfully presented dishes, every course feels like a masterpiece. Perfect for celebrating or simply indulging in a fine dining experience.

I heard there was an art gallery in downtown, so I decided to check it out. I was a bit surprised by the admission fee and then again by the relatively small size of the gallery. After paying an amount that was slightly less than 40,000 KRW but still in the high 30,000 KRW range, I explored every corner of the Vancouver Art Gallery. If you have a genuine interest in and love for art, regardless of genre, I would recommend visiting. However, if art isn't really your thing, I wouldn't suggest it. 😂

Entering mid-April, the temperature in Vancouver starts to warm up, and April is the season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom (see the last picture). After April, there are more sunny days than cloudy days. Blue skies and white clouds, and even clear skies, are most suitable for travel and photography, hence the term 'peak tourist season.' When you come to Vancouver, strolling through the city under the blue sky, the architecture and street scenes are very photogenic. Urban scenery can showcase the style and characteristics of a city. When you come here, you must take a city stroll to appreciate its charm. The first picture is of the Fairmont Hotel, which stands out in downtown Vancouver with its shape and green roof. To its left is the Vancouver Art Gallery. To the southwest of the art gallery is Robson Square, where sometimes people teach dance, and sometimes there are events, such as street dance, shopping streets, etc. Coming out of the 'Vancouver City Centre Station' of the SkyTrain Canada Line (equivalent to a light rail), on the left is the Pacific Centre (shopping center). From April to October, it's a very good season, with most days having temperatures that are not too high, ranging from the teens to about thirty degrees Celsius, which is really comfortable. Isn't it said that the highest temperatures in Vancouver are in the twenties? That was in the past, climate warming has made Vancouver also have a few days that exceed thirty degrees. When visiting downtown Vancouver, always leave some time to drink some coffee, have some snacks, desserts, and try exotic cuisines. Don't rush too much to avoid getting too tired.

Vancouver Art Gallery, in downtown Vancouver, is easily accessible. The architectural appearance outside is beautiful, so take advantage of the free admission on the first Friday of every month and go in for a tour. In fact, the whole pavilion is quite large, and there are many exhibits, the most central up the stairs, very spectacular and beautiful, there must be checked. The exhibition hall is divided into several topics, but maybe I don't have any artistic cells, I don't understand much😂 But I just take advantage of the free to visit.

Every Tuesday night is the donnation admission day of the museum, which cancels the extremely expensive admission fee, allowing me to experience the charm of modern art and classical art. The museum recently exhibited modern and contemporary works of art from France and Canada. The brightly coloured third floor lobby is a great place to take pictures.
