Can This Love Be Translated? Collection of Filming Locations in Canada
A romantic trip across Calgary’s downtown, Badlands, and the Canadian Rockies.
The scenes filmed in Canada for 《Can This Love Be Translated?》 start in the markets and streets of Calgary and expand to the Badlands in Drumheller, along with the Rockies of Canmore, Kananaskis, and Banff. This collection introduces 15 locations verified through Canadian tourism materials and local agency resources, aligned with urban and natural itineraries.
Historic homes, independent bookstores, and diners—as well as natural sites requiring some preparation like national parks and mountain lakes—are mixed in this list. We also examined not only the scenes on screen but also the original purposes of each location and the seasonal conditions that change on site.
The weather and road conditions in Alberta can change rapidly, with potentially icy sidewalks and parking lots during winter. In mountainous areas, please check for wildlife, trail closures, and park entry guidelines, and be mindful of not disrupting the daily routines of guests and staff at urban businesses.

While you can group together visits to downtown Calgary and Inglewood, Drumheller, Canmore, Kananaskis, and Banff require separate long-distance travel and consideration of weather variables. It’s advisable to avoid trying to connect all these spots in one day based solely on the flow of scenes on screen.
Experience the actual culture of markets, bookstores, and diners in the city, and simply enjoying the lakes and mountain views in the Rockies will allow you to feel the contrast of the settings in the work. Also, remember that sightings of phenomena like the aurora or specific weather conditions are not guaranteed and depend on natural conditions.
Park passes, parking reservations, seasonal operations, and road controls should be determined based on official information at the time of your visit. It’s essential to maintain distance from wildlife without leaving designated trails, prioritizing safety over compositional aesthetics in photography.
