Chinatown is located around West Pender St., and is roughly bordered by Abbott Street and Gore Ave. This is the third largest Chinatown in North America, after San Francisco and New York. If you can't make it to Hong Kong, Vancouver's Chinatown makes you almost think you are there. Chinese businesses and immigration has become more centered on Richmond, a suburb of Vancouver, but it's still fun to stroll and browse downtown Chinatown, taking in the smells, sights, and sounds. Don't miss the Sam Kee building, the world's narrowest office building, only 1.5 m wide. Located at the corner of Pender and Carrall Sts.

If you come to Vancouver from anywhere other than Hong Kong or China, you really must check out chinatown. Bordered roughly by 2 blocks east of main st, 2 blocks west of main street, Pender to the North, and Venables South, it is located right downtown Vancouver. Dr. Sun yat sen gardens is a must see, with part of it free to all to wander through (very small though), and worth paying the extra to see the rest if you're a fan of beautiful gardening or general feng-shui. There's a lot of surprising things for sale at the markets, like giant eels swimming in little tanks for dinner, or barrels of live frogs for the same purpose, plus many other things that you don't quite know if they're animal, vegetable or mineral. Hon's wonton house is popular for lunch, and for the very cheap of you (like me), there's actually Hon's offsale kitchen a couple doors down, where you can get a meal (try the chicken steamed buns) for less than $5 (in fact, I think you can eat for about $2.50 there). Be aware though that right outside of chinatown is some of the worst area of vancouver, the 'downtown eastside', however people there stay out of chinatown. You'll know if you've walked a little too far. Don't let this deter you though, I know plenty of young women or families that go to chinatown regularly. Leave a Comment Directions: Located just east of downtown Vancouver along Pender St. (can walk from downtown core, I'd recommend walking along Dunsmuir until Main st, then turn left).Website: http://www.vancouver-chinatown.com/
