Overview
Today your journey start from the Canadian Pacific Railway Last Spike. On the last day of this journey, we will visit one of the major ginseng farms in North America in Kamloops. In the late afternoon, we will return to Vancouver, concluding this breathtaking 6-day scenic tour.
【The Last Spike】
This is the historic junction and completion monument of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR), marking the spot where the last spike was driven. It also honors the contributions of Chinese laborers who worked on the railway over a century ago. Built in 1985, it commemorates the completion of the transcontinental Pacific Railway. At this location, Chairman Steve of the Pacific Railway Company drove the last historically significant golden spike, known as the "Last Spike," signifying the successful completion of this major railway artery. The monument is modest in size, with a base embedded with 13 different colored stones, including jade and granite, from Canada's 13 provinces. These stones symbolize the railway's role as a vital link connecting the provinces from east to west across Canada.
【Kamloops & Specialty Ginseng Farm】
Located in an inland climate conducive to ginseng growth, Kamloops is a major producer of North American ginseng. We have arranged a special visit to a specialty ginseng farm, where professional sales personnel will introduce the planting, growth, harvesting, and manufacturing processes of ginseng. Visitors will also have the opportunity to freely purchase various ginseng products.
