Even if you aren't outdoorsy, you can still get out and enjoy the vibrant foliage. Right in the city, you can go for a quick walk to see the ivy-covered Sylvia Hotel or Queen Elizabeth Park — both are bursting with red, yellow, and orange.
Both are easy to reach, and you can easily enjoy without spilling your coffee.
But if you are longing to stretch your legs, a trek to Sasamat Lake won't disappoint. One of the best parts is walking over the bridge; the view is worth 1000 photos.
Plus, you can leave your wallet at home when you visit the free Taiwan Fest's lanterns. The eight tall glowing pillars will have images of the sky that change throughout the day.
It will be exceptionally breathtaking at night when you can see them glowing next to The Vancouver Art Gallery.
