Introduction

Explore the multicultural city of Markham, Canada over a span of 3 days. This journey will showcase Markham's charm through its unique Asian culture, lush nature parks, and vibrant history.

Day 1 - Experience Asian Soul in Markham

Kick-off your great Canadian journey in the city known as the 'High-Tech capital of Canada.' The stark skyscrapers and the changing shades of Markham's skyline would set the perfect mood for this trip. We start off our expedition in the Pacific Mall, North America's largest indoor Asian mall. As you wander around, feel the oriental pulse and enjoy the clusters of fashion-thriving boutiques, one-of-a-kind artsy corners, and a wide range of authentic Asian cuisines. After satisfying your shopping needs, let's head to the Flato Markham Theatre. Treat yourself with a world-class performance, filling your senses with music, drama, or dance. For dinner? Time to taste the famous Markham dim sum at 369 Shanghai Dim Sum. Food has a way of marking memories, and these dumplings are no different.

Day 2 - Nature Trails and History

For our second day, we trade urban landscapes for greener pastures, literally. After freshening up, get ready to be swept away by the city's vast green spaces starting with a morning stroll at Rouge National Urban Park, Canada's first national urban park. Weave through its forested areas and meandering rivers, you might even spot some wildlife. After that outdoor escape, let's journey back in time at Markham Museum. With over 20 historic buildings, get to understand the city's development from a small rural village to a major urban center. By now, you must have worked up an appetite. Retrieve to the Old Country Inn Restaurant, a place that takes pride in its Austrian and German menu selection. A fulfilling day, isn't it?

Day 3 - Art and the Great Outdoors

Your last day should be nothing short of amazing. We begin with a charming twist, a visit to the Varley Art Gallery. Named after one of Canada's renowned artists, Frederick H.Varley, the gallery maintains a vibrant program of exhibitions and educational activities. Later, we breathe life into your day at Toogood Pond Park. Take a leisure walk around the pond, feed the ducks, or just sit back and enjoy the tranquillity. We wrap up your exciting journey of Markham with a fine-dining experience at Smash Kitchen and Bar, offering mouthwatering American comfort food. As the lights of Markham dance in the evening, you would realize that the city has indeed stolen a piece of your adventure-craving heart. Have you fallen in love with Markham too?
