Chemainus Festival Of Murals Society - Chemainus, British Columbia

Nous y avions fait une stop sur la route entre Nanaimo et victoria, cela vaut le détour, le bourg de la ville est aussi très mignon.

Chemainus 開埠以來居民一直依靠林木業謀生，1980 年代初期林木業開始衰落，鎮內商人急謀對策，請來多位畫家於各建築物牆上大顯身手，憑著首屆 5 幅壁畫即拿下振興舊鎮經濟的國際大獎。對華人更有意義的是，這 5 幅壁畫中包括一張栩栩如生的 Hong Hing 華人商店，再一次反映華人在 BC 省各城鎮發展中之貢獻

第二天行程中最后一站 我们趁着橘色的天空浏览着一处处大型社区壁画 小镇的商业区非常小 但非常可爱 从建筑到内饰都非常精致

We really enjoyed visiting this town and opted to do it on the way and on the way back. I love the footprints around town to guide you to the murals. The museum had super friendly staff and was able to answer all our questions. Thanks for a very welcoming and warm visit.

Nice little charming town to visit. Murals were very detailed and beautiful, depicting the history of the town. There was a free concert happening later during the day at 2pm.

Tijdens onze rondreis in Canada hier een stop gepland. Chemainus is een leuk, gezellig en gemoedelijk plaatsje. Wij zijn er veel langer gebleven dan gepland. Er zijn 40 muurschilderingen die je via een route kan bekijken. Wij dwaalden lekker door het plaatsje en kwamen er genoeg tegen. Kinsmen beach ook leuk om even naar toe te wandelen. Klein parkje aanwezig met waterrad. Veel mooie bloembakken aan de gevels. Een bezoek zeker waard!

Love this idea. Happy to support the initiative by buying the $5 map. The physical map is easier to use than the online map, because it doesn't annoyingly reset your location and zoom out each time you click a link. Making it hard to locate the next stop. That said, the online site has much more thorough descriptions for the majority of the murals. Using the two tools together was ideal. Hubby guided with the physical map. I read descriptions.
On the downside. We walked the whole thing, no problem, except it was a heatwave. We took in a two hour musical at the theatre just to cool off and reset. Also, a few of the murals are in disrepair or badly faded. Please buy the map to help them fund restorations! The walk will take you by many wonderful shops, but beware, most of them close at 4pm, so plan accordingly. Lastly the murals are not in any historical order. I would have valued a map that walked us through the murals in chronological order (to be clear, in the order of historical events that occurred, not the order of when murals were painted).
Overall, we enjoyed getting to know Chemainus better through this creative art and history initiative.

如果你是老饕，在 Victoria 開車旅行一定要來這拍照，每一面壁畫都值得讓人駐足，對了，這裡的居民超友善，會不斷打招呼和跟你聊天，太舒服了
