Lonely Planet is offering a free iPhone app in honour of the Winter Olympics. To download your free app, go to the iTunes store and search for "Vancouver Travel Guide: The Sights," (not to be confused with the Lonely Planet Vancouver City Guide, which costs $15.99).

For non-iPhone users, Tourism Vancouver has an interactive tourist guide to help visitors with mobile phones navigate Vancouver and Whistler.

For you old-fashioned folks who like to carry around paper, a PDF Spectator Guide is available online for print out.

Our Guide to China has compiled a list of celebrations and photos of Chinese New Year around the globe.

Canada has a significant Chinese population that will be lighting off firecrackers, staging lion dances and setting out mouth-watering feasts. But, places worldwide like Scandinavia, Paris and, of course, China will be ringing in the Year of the Tiger in their own way this Saturday.

About.com's very own Guide to Honeymoons knows a thing or two about romance.

With Valentine's Day approaching, she called on her fellow Guides to help fill out her already comprehensive coverage of all things amorous in the world of travel.

No matter where you are, discover the sweetest places, deals, and activities from us this Valentine's Day.

If you're driving to the Vancouver Olympics from the United States in February, be sure to have the proper travel documents or you may be slowed down or turned away at the Canada border. The best advice for U.S. residents is to bring a passport or equivalent travel document, such as a NEXUS Card, to enter Canada.

Many travelers are confused by the passport regulations between the U.S. and Canada. Their confusion is not surprising as the passport issue has been complicated and ever changing since 2004 when the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative was introduced. In addition, the passport regulations for entering Canada and entering the U.S. differ.

Technically, Canadian regulations do not require U.S. residents to have a passport to enter Canada; however, those same U.S. residents DO need a passport or equivalent document to get back home.

So, even if you are allowed into Canada without a passport or passport equivalent, you will encounter delays and interrogation when you try to cross back into the U.S....and no one wants hassles at the border.
