"Gate to the Northwest Passage" is a 1980 sculpture by Alan Chung Hung located adjacent to the Vancouver Maritime Museum in Vanier Park.

The work was installed in 1980 to commemorate the arrival of Captain George Vancouver in Burrard Inlet, following a competition sponsored by Parks Canada one year prior.

According to Chung Hung: "The objective of the sculpture is to create a symbolic image with definite visual expression, awakening an awareness in Captain George Vancouver's contribution to the world, his remarkable and meticulous surveys which included the north Pacific coast."
The Norris crab, which is located in the middle of a fountain in front of the HR MacMillan Space Center, is one of the most photographed works of art in British Columbia, a favourite of tourists and schoolchildren.

The crab rises from a pool, pincers raised overhead, a magnificent six-metre-tall sculpture rendered in stainless steel.

7.8/10 Good! (2,721 reviews)
The shuttle to the airport won’t allow ski bags, bike bags, or anything over sized. It was a hassle and not worth staying here. Especially for $230 for a basic room. There was a ton of room in the shuttle and I don’t understand why they acted this way.

The house was very comfortable. They had everything I needed, I couldn't hear a sound from outside my room. I slept very well, had plenty of room, and everything felt clean and well maintained. I'd definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Vancouver!
