C. K. Choi Building is nestled within the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. This structure is lauded and renowned for being an environmental friendly building. Currently, it houses The Institute of Asian Research that was founded in 1978.
The garden outside the Richmond Olympic Oval is a jaw dropper as it is unlike any garden that you may have seen. The Water Sky Garden has sculptures, a fountain and a pond, all these with a twist. The boardwalk is inspired by a Chinese dance form and the pond is a treatment water plant that purifies rainwater. The highlight is the sky lantern made of PTFE fiber that can resist ultraviolet rays. The lights give it a beautiful look after sunset without compromising on the view behind the sculpture.
Featuring the largest collection of motorcycles, the Deeley Motorcycle Exhibition is the only one of its kind in Vancouver. Owned by motorcycle enthusiasts, Don James and Malcolm Hunter, this state-of-the-art museum takes visitors through the history and evolution of the two wheeled speed machine. The collection spans 120 years with over 250 antique, vintage and modern pieces from the likes of Harley-Davidson, Zenith and more.
