Natural Tourism Resources(自然旅游资源)
1)Stanley Park(斯坦利公园)
Designated a national historic site of Canada,Stanley Park is a magnificent green oasis in the midst of the heavily built urban landscape of Vancouver in British Columbia,Canada.
The park has a long history and was one of the first areas to be explored in the city.It was named after Lord Stanley,a British politician who had recently been appointed governor general.Unlike other large urban parks,Stanley Park is not the creation of a landscape architect,but rather the evolution of a forest and urban space over many years.Most of the manmade structures we see today were built between 1911 and 1937 under the influence of then superintendent W.S.Rawlings.Additional attractions,such as a polar bear exhibit,aquarium,and miniature train,were added in the post-war period.Much of the park remains as densely forested as it was in the late 19th century,with about a half million trees,some of which stand as tall as 76 metres and are up to hundreds of years old.
Significant effort was put into constructing the near-century-old Vancouver Seawall,which can draw thousands of residents and visitors to the park every day.The park also features fores ttrails,beaches,lakes,children's play areas,and the Vancouver Aquarium,among many other attractions.On June 18,2014 Stanley Park was named“top park in the entire world”by TripAdvisor.
斯坦利公园是加拿大国家历史遗址,是加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华城市景观中一片美丽的绿洲。
该公园历史悠久,以加拿大总督英国政治家斯坦利勋爵的名字命名。与其他大型城市公园不同的是,斯坦利公园并不是景观设计师设计的,而是森林和城市空间经过多年的演变形成的。公园的大部分森林仍然像19世纪末那样茂密,公园里大约有50万棵树,其中一些树高达76米,树龄数百年。公园内有森林小径、海滩、湖泊、儿童游乐区和温哥华水族馆等众多景点。
