Wharf Street的点评
点评：Ah, Wharf Street! I’ve driven and walked this stretch, which basically runs along the perimeter of the Inner Harbour from the Greater Victoria Visitor Centre and north towards Johnson Street Bridge (where the name changes to Store Street), countless times over the years. If walking at a good pace, you can easily walk the length of Wharf Street in ten minutes, if not less. As such, it’s a fairly short strip of land, but there’s a lot packed in here to see, explore and experience.
Wharf Street is a busy part of Victoria’s Old Town (see my earlier review on this site). Thanks to its proximity to Chinatown (see my earlier review), the downtown core and Government Street, visitors will inevitably come upon Wharf Street and experience its bustling shops, eclectic restaurants and interesting history. On the latter point, Old Town, inclusive of Wharf Street, played a key and defining role in the early development of this Province. For proof of this, we need only look at the Old Custom House (1875), which served as an important point of entry for goods coming into the country. Later, when the Klondike gold rush was well under way (1897), the Custom House was a necessary stop for papers and permits. There are, of course, many other historic buildings along Wharf Street, including the Caire & Grancini Warehouse (1314 Wharf), built in 1860; the Norwestra Building (1218 Wharf), also built in 1860; and the Rithet Building (1117-1129 Wharf), built between 1861 and 1889. Indeed, these historic buildings, plus many others, add to the charm of Victoria’s Wharf Street.
As one ambles about Wharf Street, there are a few notable attractions to be observed and experienced along the way: 1) Bastion Square, while more prominent at View and Government Streets, is accessible from Wharf. In the modern day, this lovely Square functions more as an outdoor market with re-purposed heritage buildings; however, I find its darker history of jail and gallows far more interesting. 2) The Homecoming Statue by Nathan Scott, unveiled in 2010, is a powerful monument that captures the moment a sailor returns home and is greeted by his daughter. With just a single image, Scott is able to articulate, in the most powerful of ways, the impacts of conflict on our physical selves and our psyches. Observing this statue, one cannot help but feel for those families who cannot reunite because of the ravages of war and conflict. 3) Seaplanes and Harbour Ferries. This one is self-explanatory and a very functional purpose/activity on Wharf Street. Its proximity to the inner harbour makes it an obvious spot to fly or ride by sea. 4) Finally, I’d be remiss if I failed to mention Catawampus Fudge & Funk . . . just because ;)
Besides the various shops and attractions there are, of course, a number of tasty restaurants situated along Wharf Street: Nautical Nellies is a great place for local seafood; The Keg is a reliable chain restaurant; Red Fish Blue Fish has become something of a local legend for their innovative takes on British classics; and, the Flying Otter, down by the Harbour Air Seaplanes, offers great seaside views and reasonably-priced lunch and dinner options sure to please even the fussiest of eaters. Oh, and if you want your coffee fix, there’s a Starbucks, too. . .
Since 2019, Wharf Street has gotten a little more congested thanks to the two-way bike lanes installed at the behest of Lisa Helps. While cyclists no doubt enjoy the new addition, I think it detracts from the historic atmosphere of Wharf Street while concomitantly making driving in this area that much more difficult. Maybe I’m just becoming an old curmudgeon? Anyway, ranting aside, Wharf Street is a nice place to stroll in Victoria. The views of the inner harbour are nice; the shops are varied; the rows of historic buildings add character; and, the restaurant selection is quite good.

翻译：啊，码头街！多年来，我无数次开车或步行过这条路，它基本上沿着内港周边从大维多利亚游客中心向北延伸至约翰逊街大桥（此处名称改为商店街）。如果步行速度快的话，您可以在十分钟（甚至更短的时间）内轻松走完码头街。因此，这片土地相当短，但这里有很多值得观赏、探索和体验的地方。
码头街是维多利亚老城区的繁忙地区（请参阅我之前在此网站上的评论）。由于它靠近唐人街（请参阅我之前的评论）、市中心和政府街，游客将不可避免地来到码头街并体验其熙熙攘攘的商店、不拘一格的餐厅和有趣的历史。就后一点而言，包括码头街在内的老城在该省的早期发展中发挥了关键和决定性的作用。为了证明这一点，我们只需要看看旧海关大楼（1875 年），它是货物进入该国的重要入境点。后来，当克朗代克淘金热如火如荼地进行时（1897 年），海关大楼成为办理文件和许可证的必经之地。当然，沿着码头街还有许多其他历史建筑，包括建于 1860 年的 Caire & Grancini 仓库（码头 1314 号）； Norwestra 大厦（码头 1218 号），同样建于 1860 年；以及建于 1861 年至 1889 年间的 Rithet 大厦（1117-1129 Wharf）。 事实上，这些历史建筑以及许多其他建筑为维多利亚码头街增添了魅力。
当您在码头街漫步时，沿途有一些值得观察和体验的著名景点： 1) 堡垒广场 (Bastion Square)，虽然在景观街 (View Street) 和政府街 (Government Streets) 上更为突出，但可以从码头 (Wharf) 到达。在现代，这个可爱的广场更像是一个露天市场，其中有经过重新设计的遗产建筑。然而，我发现它的监狱和绞刑架的黑暗历史更有趣。 2) 内森·斯科特 (Nathan Scott) 于 2010 年揭幕的返乡雕像是一座震撼人心的纪念碑，捕捉了水手回家并受到女儿迎接的那一刻。仅凭一张图片，斯科特就能够以最有力的方式阐明冲突对我们的身体和心理的影响。看着这座雕像，人们不禁会为那些因战争和冲突的破坏而无法团聚的家庭感到同情。 3）水上飞机和港口渡轮。这是不言自明的，也是码头街一项非常实用的目的/活动。它靠近内港，使其成为飞行或海上骑行的理想地点。 4) 最后，如果我没有提到 Catawampus Fudge & Funk，那我就失职了。 。 。只是因为；）
除了各种商店和景点之外，码头街 (Wharf Street) 沿线当然还有许多美味餐厅：Nautical Nellies 是品尝当地海鲜的好去处； The Keg是一家值得信赖的连锁餐厅；红鱼蓝鱼因其对英国经典的创新演绎而成为当地的传奇。位于 Harbour Air Seaplanes 旁边的 Flying Otter 餐厅提供绝佳的海滨景观和价格合理的午餐和晚餐选择，即使是最挑剔的食客也一定会满意。哦，如果您想喝杯咖啡，这里还有星巴克。 。 。
自 2019 年以来，由于在 Lisa Helps 的要求下安装了双向自行车道，码头街变得更加拥挤。虽然骑自行车的人无疑喜欢这个新设施，但我认为它破坏了码头街的历史氛围，同时也使在该地区驾驶变得更加困难。也许我只是变成了一个脾气暴躁的老脾气？不管怎样，抛开咆哮不谈，码头街是维多利亚漫步的好地方。内港的景色很美；商店多种多样；一排排历史建筑增添了特色；而且，餐厅的选择相当不错。
