Both...depending on my mood. Vancouver BC has been called one of the most beautiful cities in the world and a major tourist destination. I think this city is the only one I've seen that combines both natural and man made beauty. The entire downtown, and west end are on an island surrounded by the ocean, The north shore mountains (10 minutes away), Seymour, Cypress, and Grouse Mountains and even Mt Baker WA in the distance. Then there is Capilano and Lynn Canyon suspension bridges.
The rest of the city is on a delta with arms of the mighty Fraser River as a devider between Greater Vancouver and the suburbs of Richmond (where I grew up) and Ladner. Then just 20 nautical miles west across the Georgia Strait (Pacific Ocean) is Vancouver Island, with all the advantages of the mainland but with a smaller "town" feel. Some of the oldest rainforest in Canada and the Wild West Coast of the island itself...with nothing between you and Japan but wide open Pacific Ocean.
Yeah...right here I can see some of the best of both. The only thing we don't have here is wide open grasslands or desert like in Nevada.

For me it the natural beauty I like. Usually out in the open and less traffic where one can just go slow and easy and enjoy, plus take lots of pics if U want to.
Man made like big city's usually have to much traffic to fight, have to ride so defensive that it hard to enjoy the sights.
