VPG-DVD-173 - VANCOUVER Vancouver is the third largest city in Canada and one of the most beautiful on the American continent, a dynamic metropolis set in a beautiful location with a temperate climate throughout the year. Close to the harbour area the city's skyscrapers have proliferated in recent years. The capital of the southwestern province of British Columbia has developed into an economic centre of renown. The city's oldest buildings were built less than a hundred years ago because the former wooden houses of old Vancouver were destroyed by fire. Several buildings reflect the origin of their inhabitants and are similar to those in the United States and Europe. Inspired by the Colosseum in Rome, an elegant structure of pink stone and glass, Canada Place, is located in the busy centre of the new harbour district and is also the city's most recent landmark. Close by is Harbour Centre, a modern skyscraper complex with a shopping centre and a Skylift to the top floor. A glass elevator transports visitors to a one hundred and sixty seven-metre high observation platform where the view across the city, harbour and bay is overwhelming. The exciting Skytrain is the city's most popular means of transport, an ultra-modern train built on posts that zig zags its way through the city. Each of the city's most important destinations are easily accessible and it has reduced the city's traffic problems considerably. For the World Exhibition of 1986, on the edge of Chinatown gardeners and craftsmen from Suzhou in China established Canada's first classical Chinese garden, the Doctor Sun Yat Sen Garden. Its ponds, bridges and small pavilions are similar to those in China, masterpieces of Far Eastern garden design. Everything in Vancouver is youthful, attractive and dynamic, a place in which Canadian politeness unites with the Pacific way of life!

OTT-DVD-113 - On Tour...  THE CANADIAN Toronto To Vancouver RailridingTHE CANADIAN A very special train journey begins Toronto and travels a distance of 4500 kilometres to Vancouver. The three day journey promises discovery, adventure and momentous Nature as well as lively modern cities and time-honoured traditions. In Toronto, the CN Tower is the highest freestanding building in the world and provides a thrilling view across the city. When the weather's good it's possible to see as far as 120 km. to the distant haze of Niagara Falls. The Skydome is located next to the CN Tower and is a multifunctional sports arena with enormous proportions that has an extendable dome under which many types of sports events and concerts take place. The main route of the Canadian Pacific Railroad that travels through western Canada dates back to1885 although the comforts offered by the famous train, The Canadian, are far from dated as for additional comfort there's the Bullet Lounge, the Mural Lounge and the Art Deco Bar. The landscape opens up and in the autumn light dense forests and dark blue lakes create an enchanting scene with a wonderful variety of colours that range from ochre-yellow and dark red, to purple. Passing endless cargo trains we head to Winnipeg, the 'City of Trees' that lies at the mouth of both the Red River and the Assiniboine River. Containing over two million trees this former settlement is now Canada's fourth largest city. The high peaks of the Rocky Mountains come into view, the former domain of gold-diggers, hunters and pioneers, where the city of Jasper is the starting point of many interesting excursions in the mountain area. The shining blue Moraine Lake is situated in the Valley Of The Ten Peaks, while the Chateau Lake Louis is one of the oldest and most beautiful railway hotels in the Rocky Mountains. Finally, Vancouver, and it's far from easy to say farewell to the most inspiring and famous railway journey in the world -- The Canadian!

MTW-DVD-106 - In Halifax, on Canada's east coast, one of the world's most famous train journeys begins: on the Canadian Railway, an amazing journey across the North American continent and the Canadian Rocky Mountains on a railroad that extends for 6000 kilometres, with comfortable trains that feature observation wagons for some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. First stop, Ville De Quebec, capital of Canada's likewise named province and then on to Montreal and Toronto to take in a few of the sights of these fabulous cities. The luxurious railway hotel, Chateau Lake Louise, is a reminder of the glorious pioneering days of earlier times when remote areas could only be reached by train. Thus, the railroad marked the beginning of Canada's Tourist Age. The final destination, Vancouver, Canada's third largest city and surely one of its most beautiful. A dynamic metropolis in a beautiful setting that enjoys not only a mild climate but also a multicultural ambience. Travelling by train will never be the same again!
