As spring unfurls its colours across Vancouver, Queen Elizabeth Park showcases a sight that captures the hearts of visitors. Imagine strolling beneath the cherry blossoms as their delicate petals drift through the air like confetti. Originally a basalt quarry, the site was transformed into a municipal park in the 1930s. In 1939, it was dedicated by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth during their visit to Vancouver, hence its name. The park is a cultural hub with features like sculptures, walking trails, a conservatory and recreational facilities.

If you are in the city, you might want to join the events held during the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival, an annual celebration that has been around since 2006. You can participate in the Sakura Days Japan Fair, a part of the festival, on 13 and 14 April at the VanDusen Botanical Garden. From the rhythmic pulse of taiko drumming to the elegant sway of kimono-clad dancers, every moment is steeped in tradition. Savour the umami-infused delights of Japanese cuisine, drink traditional tea or participate in Hanami—flower viewing.
