新西敏市(New Westminster)
位於菲沙河畔的山坡,老華僑稱二埠,是卑斯省最古老的城市,曾經是卑斯省的省會。新西敏市這個名字是英女皇維多利亞命名的,又叫做皇家城市。新西敏市五月第四星期在該市的女皇公園(Queen’ Park)有一個重要節慶,就是有三十年以上歷史的海爾克嘉年華(Hyack festival),節目包括向維多利亞女皇致意的禮炮、新西敏小姐選拔賽、古董車遊行等。
新西敏市是座洋溢著維多利亞風格的復古小城。在古典的歷史街區,徘徊於維多利亞式建築間,呼吸透著中世紀的浪漫情懷。此刻的神思常常會穿過高高的綠籬,小心踏著古舊濃實的台階,揣摩著鑲入細致美麗紋案的窗廊;或者斜過長滿沒及腳踝野花的小徑,坐到屋後青銅吊燈下的藤椅上,品嘗著私密花園裡的優雅。
