CHINATOWN
Established back in the 1890s, Vancouver’s Chinatown has been
humming busily for more than a century with vivid colours, exotic
cuisine and a vibrant culture. Vancouver’s Chinese population
originally made the journey to work in local mines and build the
Trans-Canada railway. Rich in history and architecture, this area
east of downtown boasts North America’s third-largest Chinatown
after New York and San Francisco. The main commercial area runs
is around six blocks, bordered by East Pender Street, Gore Avenue,
East Georgia Street, and Carrall Street. (tourismvancouver.com)
