Vancouver's Best Autumn Foliage Gardens

Autumn in Vancouver is like a vibrant oil painting. Just stepping into the heart of the city—Stanley Park's Maple Trees Lane—you'll be awestruck by nature's palette. This trip was planned for a sunny day stroll, with sunlight streaming through the canopy, making every maple leaf glow as if illuminated. It's a "can't stop taking photos" kind of experience. 🙏

[Trip Highlights]
Stanley Park is not just an urban oasis but also a must-visit autumn scenery hotspot! The maple leaves here display a rich gradient of colors, from fiery red to golden yellow, scattered like a natural painting among the trees. Up close, it's not just the maple leaves; other autumn flowers and plants add to the charm. With a gentle breeze and sunlight filtering through the trees, a walk here feels like a complete mood reset!
