Welcome to Vancouvers Chinatown! Vancouver claims North America's second biggest Chinatown, after San Franciscos. Chinatown is one of Vancouvers oldest commercial and residential districts, dating back to the 1880s. The area boasts both some of the oldest architecture in the city and a vibrant atmosphere that will delight the senses. There are lots of excellent but inexpensive restaurants, many serving dim sum. For those seeking items to decorate their homes, Peking Lounge, Funhauser and other shops are guaranteed to tickle your fancy. And from mid-May to early Sept, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, from 6:30 to 11:00 pm, Keefer Street becomes a busy open-air night market. Dont forget to explore stunning Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, take your photo in front of the massive Han Dynasty Bell in Shanghai Alley and marvel at the ornate Millennium Gate on Pender Street. Why not visit the Chinese Cultural Centre Museum and participate in one of its many activities? In Chinatown, you can even consult a Chinese medicine herbalist! Lots to see and do in this exciting and essential part of Vancouver!
