Calgary
Discover Calgary’s diverse heritage and dynamic downtown as you tour and taste your way around.
Lougheed House
Step into Lougheed House, a beautifully preserved 1891 mansion made of sandstone, where Cha Mu-hee, Joo Ho-jin and the TV crew stay upon arrival in Canada. This National Historic Site tells the story of one of Calgary's most influential families through elegant period rooms and manicured gardens. It’s an authentic glimpse into Alberta's Edwardian-era grandeur. While you can't actually stay here, you can book a tour to experience it for yourself. *Shooting location
A Local Favourite Crossroads Market
Experience Calgary's vibrant food scene at Crossroads Market, a bustling farmers’ market where vendors offer delicious dishes from Canada, Asia, Europe and around the world. Grab Filipino, Turkish or Mexican breakfast, try a “dirty pop” or freshly baked sweet buns, sample local produce, then wander through the vintage marketplace for vinyl records, artisan jewelry and locally made yarn.

Heritage Park
Head to Heritage Park, where Mu-hee and Hiro "officially" met after she chased his cheeky balloons. It's Western Canada's largest living history museum, which also happens to be a perfect backdrop for drama. While you're there, hop aboard a vintage steam train and let loose on the rides at the antique midway. And don’t forget to snag a cheese bun.

A Local Favourite Crescent Heights and Mt. Pleasant Viewpoint (Rotary Park)
Wander the picturesque park where Ho-jin and Mu-hee have many conversations together. Rising above the Bow River in Crescent Heights, Mt. Pleasant Viewpoint offers a spectacular view of where the city meets the sky, plus stunning panoramas of downtown Calgary. The lion is a preserved sculpture that was originally part of Centre Street Bridge. *Shooting location
Centre Street Bridge
Cross the historical Centre Street Bridge, a filming location for “Can This Love Be Translated?” where views of the Bow River, Downtown and Chinatown unfold. Visit at night to see the Calgary Tower colourfully lit, not unlike a K-pop light stick. A zippy way to experience this scenic stretch is gliding through on a segway tour with River Valley Adventure Co. for an unforgettable urban adventure. *Shooting location
Stephen Avenue
Soak up the lively atmosphere along Stephen Avenue, Calgary's vibrant downtown pedestrian stroll. Browse local boutiques, try Canadian cuisine at restaurants like Klein/Harris and catch street performers or festivals. Art lovers can admire The Conversation statue, the Galleria Trees, and the Iron Horse set along this historic street. *Shooting location
A Local Favourite Watch Hockey at the Scotiabank Saddledome
Hiro knew that a trip to Canada isn’t complete without a hockey game. Catch the National Hockey League’s Calgary Flames in action with a roaring crowd clad in red jerseys. The saddle-shaped hockey stadium was built for the 1988 Winter Olympics and is a nod to Calgary’s western history.
