   Situated along British Columbia's coastline, Vancouver is a 'Pacific
   Pearl'. Lying between the Coast Mountain range and the Pacific Ocean,
   Vancouver is one of the most scenic cities in the world. Vancouver's mild
   temperatures and bounty of rain are also owed to its location, making even
   the most urban of areas lush year round. Vancouver appeals to millions of
   denizens and visitors who bask in all it offers, from its soothing beaches
   to its bustling streets. For more information about Vancouver see
