Black and white aerial photo of False Creek with a bit of the Burrard Bridge on the left, a trestle bridge diagonally crossing the water and scooping into a rounded corner on the south shore, then a bridge over Granville Island on the right. Up the water on the right is another crossing, a previous iteration of the Cambie Bridge.
There isn’t much development on the south shore and the downtown Vancouver side of the water has some small buildings with streets laid out in a grid Updated aerial view of the first photo with the Burrard Bridge on the left, Granville Brisge on the right, both crossing False Creek. Low-rise buildings on the south side and a city grid of glass towers and high rises on the north, downtown Vancouver side. False creek winds around the downtown peninsula and BC Place stadium’s dome is visible in the background on the right along with the Cambie Bridge, and the Port of Vancouver’s dock in the top left on the Burrard Inlet side

Vancouver is a place with lots to do, but for some reason, you have to “be in the know” to know about it. It’s even more challenging for tourists. We’d love to see more promotion from @destinationbc.bsky.social of our cultural scene—cause there is so much culture & history here.
