Nestled between the vast Pacific Ocean and snow-capped mountains, Vancouver is a west coast Canadian city consistently ranked among the most livable cities in the world. As the third-largest city in Canada after Toronto and Montreal, Vancouver's area was originally settled by Indigenous peoples around 500 BCE. It became a British territory in the late 18th century as British settlers arrived, and officially became part of Canada in 1871 when British Columbia joined the Canadian Confederation. In 1887, the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway, connecting the country from east to west, greatly boosted the local economy. Today, Vancouver has grown into western Canada's largest port city and a hub for trade and finance. From Gastown, the historic birthplace of Vancouver, to Granville Island, brimming with art and culture, and the stylish downtown core, the city offers irresistible charm at every turn. Behind it all lies Vancouver's magnificent natural beauty. Trees and flowers greet visitors throughout the city, and no matter where you wander, the ocean is never far away. From Stanley Park — the world's largest urban park featuring ancient old-growth forest — to the dazzling sandy shores of English Bay, and the natural wonders of Grouse Mountain and Capilano Park, anyone who visits Vancouver is sure to be amazed by its breathtaking scenery. ▣ Inside the Book 'World City Exploration Comic History & Trivia' includes story-related information at the end of each chapter, effectively delivering knowledge about world history and culture. 'Treasure Hunt in Vancouver' features 'Vancouver at a Glance,' which uses maps, photos, and text to highlight the city's must-see locations, along with 'Vancouver Basic Trivia,' covering its geography, industry, climate, population, and culture. Readers can also explore 'Vancouver Travel Trivia,' which introduces three destinations rich in Vancouver's history and nature; 'Vancouver History Trivia,' which covers the history of the Indigenous peoples and immigrants who settled the city; and 'Vancouver Current Events Trivia,' which highlights citizens' efforts to protect local wildlife. Adding to the fun, the book includes a 'Vancouver Playground' section, where kids can color in totem poles — treasured Indigenous artifacts — and enjoy a spot-the-difference activity set in the bustling streets of Vancouver's Gastown.
