It's springtime in Metro Vancouver, when thickets of selfie sticks and tourists sprout up beneath canopies of the region’s famous cherry blossoms.
On Sussex Avenue in Burnaby, east of Vancouver, a group of five fashionably dressed women set up an iPhone on a tripod under the blossoms.
"And they are literally dancing under the blossoms and singing and modelling and posing. It's really cute. I see that all the time," said Poole. An eight-day, seven-night trip from China to Vancouver and Victoria that is promoted by First Express is dubbed the "two cities flower viewing" tour and costs 33,603 yuan, or $6,580.
"For them, it’s like a perfect combination to gaze upon the cherry blossoms while exploring the local culinary scene since Vancouver is also famous for food,” said Liu in an interview conducted in Mandarin. But he has some favourites — Graveley Street on Vancouver's Eastside, West 22nd Avenue, Nelson Street in the downtown core, Yukon Street and outside Vancouver City Hall.
