Due to the bad weather, we could only go and see the Maligne Lake and left in a hurry.

\- Sleepless in Seattle
只要提到 西雅圖 ，腦海中最先浮現出的畫面一定是電影《 西雅圖 未眠夜》，感覺這個城市浪漫而又神秘。但我們卻不知道和 西雅圖 相距僅200多公里的 溫哥華 卻也繁華而靜謐。
如同前兩期所提到的，整個美加旅程路線為： ****** — ****** — 溫哥華 — 西雅圖
那我們就先從 溫哥華 開始玩兒起～
When mentioning Seattle, the first impression comes from the movie Sleepless in Seattle , which made Seattle with full of romance and mystery. Nevertheless, we didn't notice that there is another prosperous and quiet city, Vancouver, just 150 miles away.
Today, let's start from Vancouver first, then drive to Seattle.
Vancouver
一句話概括， 溫哥華 給人印象最深刻的就是－富有的移民華人聚集地， 列治文 的中餐完勝 美國 各大 中國 城。為什麼這麼說呢，小道消息，幾所名校里的孩子家庭背景非官即富，奢侈品用來買菜，超跑見怪不怪，路過的都是國內知名人家的豪宅， 列治文 的中餐按酒樓規格來蓋。（一首涼涼送個天天diss 加拿大 留學的 美國 留學生們，就安安靜靜去史丹利公園散散步拍拍楓葉就好～）
The first impression of Vancouver is "The Hub of Richest Chinese Immigrants" and "The Best Chinese restuarants in North America". Rumor says the international students here always come from a super rich or powerful political family, and the Chinese restaurants here are always built as detached houses!
Capilano Suspension Bridge
為了避免我們在史丹利公園涼涼相遇的尷尬，夏季也無法給你們拍出漂亮的楓葉，我們直接來到卡皮拉諾吊橋公園看這座歷史悠久的吊橋。吊橋全長140米，距卡皮拉諾河面70米高，公園內部的路線設計可以說是“不走回頭路”，除了吊橋，更加吸引小編的是公園的熱帶雨林。
As it was summer time, the leaves in Stanley Park hadn't turned into red yet. We chose to visit the Capilano Suspension Bridge directly. The bridge is 140 meters long and 70 meters above the Capilano River. The path is designed as "on way only" so that you don't need to worry about missing any views. Besides the bridge, the rain forest scenery in the park is very attracitve too.
CANOPY
煤氣鎮
Gastown
格蘭維爾島
Granville island
至於網上推薦的煤氣鎮和格蘭維爾島這裡就不介紹了，因為是自駕游，開車路過的時候才後知後覺，個人覺得比較普通的兩個景點。煤氣鎮的重點在於文化和歐式風情，體現在蒸汽鐘，象徵著 溫哥華 城市的起源。格蘭維爾島的意義小編類比一下“798”，偏僻但是有文藝範兒。
About Gastown and Granville island, after we passed by the Gastown Steam Clock, we suddenly realized it is "the spot". So, in my own perspective, these two places are not that important to tourists, but they are meaningful to the locals because Gastown stands for the origin of the city while the Granville island is full of art atmosphere.
Seattle
西雅圖 是 美國 華盛頓州 的一個大型港口城市。當我們驅車來到這裡，首先映入眼帘的就是大型港口的各種運輸、塔弔設備和巨大的集裝箱。隨行做國際貿易的大BOSS看到這些興奮不已，拿著手機不停拍拍拍。
Seattle is a port city which locates in State of Washington. When we drove there, millions of containers and equipment made our big BOSS, who’s addicted in international trade extremely excited.
西雅圖 港口
8月份的 西雅圖 氣候濕熱，早上走在街道上難得有一份涼爽，街道乾凈、行人不多，為了登 西雅圖 的城市地標——太空針塔不排長隊，我們早早的先去了那裡。太空針塔是1962年為世界博覽會修建的。
It is quite humid in August. In order to climb one of the landmarks - Space Needle, which was built on behalf of the EXPO in 1962, we got up very early.
太空針塔
從塔上360度俯瞰城市全貌非常美麗，依山傍水，普吉灣和 華盛頓 湖水清澈湛藍，湖上游船穿梭。海灣邊上是奧林匹克公園，遠處還有雷尼爾山。 太空針塔旁邊有孩子們喜歡的太平洋科學中心，有噴水池、電影院、天文館等，電影“侏羅紀公園”里的恐龍模型展示。
The view was splendid. Puget Sound, Lake Washington, Olympic National Park and Mount Rainier could be seen clearly from the Space Needle. This is also a nice place for family. Pacific Science Center with lots of entertainments are just near here, including dinosaur exhibition from movie Jurassic Park.
太平洋科學中心
太空針塔旁還有各類藝術博物館，看了幾個映像頗深的是奇胡玻璃藝術館，裡面的玻璃藝術讓人驚艷，各式各樣的玻璃造型在燈光和黑夜的映射下非常漂亮，感嘆藝術作者的智慧和巧手神功！在門口看了一下明信片，上面拍的圖和我拍的差不多，也許我拍得更漂亮？
One of the museums I would like to highlight is Chihuly Garden and Glass. Of course, as the name mentioned, it shows different shapes of glasses.
奇胡玻璃藝術館
參觀完地標我們來到 西雅圖 繁華的派克漁場，這裡有國際著名連鎖咖啡星巴克的第一家咖啡店，我們排隊進去買咖啡，裡面的服務員從磨咖啡豆到沖一杯給客人手中動作嫻熟漂亮，我們一邊品咖啡一邊欣賞他們的工作狀態，看到有趣的紀念品忍不住買下了。
After Space Needle, we went to Pike Market, where the first Starbucks opened here in 1971.
