Virtual Walking Tour of Yaletown
Check out my walk around Yaletown downtown Vancouver in 4k. Yaletown acquired its name when the railway moved its construction equipment and repair shops from Yale in the Fraser Canyon to the railway's western terminus of Vancouver. ... In the late 1920s, Vancouver created its first city plan and Yaletown was zoned for commercial and light industrial use.

It's home to many of the city's trendiest restaurants, bars and nightspots, hip shopping boutiques, and celebrity hauntsYaletown is known for its old warehouse buildings now home to hip restaurants and cocktail lounges, many with buzzing outdoor terraces, as well as indie fashion and decor boutiques.
