The German-built ferry can carry approximately 400 vehicles and features a six-level lounge area with souvenirs shops, restaurants, children’s playrooms, computer stations, business areas, and premium seating—offering comprehensive facilities. The journey offers beautiful scenery including small islands, seagulls flying around masts, and if lucky, dolphins, all set against blue skies and seas—a breathtaking experience. 📌Butchart Gardens The Butchart Gardens The Butchart Gardens is a renowned Canadian National Historic Site with over a century of history, originally a family garden. Construction began in 1904, and through generations of dedication, it has become a horticultural masterpiece and the second most famous garden in the world, attracting more than half a million visitors annually from around the globe. In March, large fields of daisies, pansies, and periwinkles bloom; tulips flourish throughout the garden in April and May; from late May, the rose garden takes center stage during summer, accompanied by peonies showing off their beauty; nightly fireworks displays occur each July and August, paired with open-air stage performances and musical concerts ensuring every visitor leaves satisfied. The garden also features rare blue poppies. 📌Victoria Chinatown Chinatown Victoria Established in 1858, Victoria's Chinatown is Canada’s oldest and second only to San Francisco’s in North America. Historic landmarks such as the Gate of Harmonious Interest and Fan Tan Alley—the narrowest commercial street—are enduring testaments to over a century of overseas Chinese perseverance. 📌Victoria Inner Harbour Victoria Inner Harbour Located in downtown Victoria, the Inner Harbour is surrounded by many classic buildings and famous attractions, making it a favorite seaside leisure destination for tourists. Strolling along the waterfront allows quiet appreciation of Victoria's charming coastal scenery—an especially pleasant experience. 📌Victoria Highway 1 Mile Zero Monument Victoria Mile Zero Monument Trans-Canada Highway 1 stretches across Canada from east to west, starting in St. John's, Newfoundland on the Atlantic coast and ending at Victoria Harbour on the Pacific coast.
