    If you are walking from Gastown to Chinatown you need to pass a few blocks where it is not very safe.During the day it still should be okay. But you can also take bus 22 north on Burrard street to Pender and Carall.

    Many other Vancouver sites have mentioned this, just becareful when you're walking around Vancouver, you could easily end up in the Hastings-Eastside area.

    It's not super dangerous or anything, but something you will probably want to avoid since it is a very scumy area.

    One block down from China town and between it and Gas Town is a very bad part of town. One of the locals said it was the poorest block, per capita, in the world. Certainly had several hundred drug addicts running around. Felt somewhat safe in broad daylight, but wouldn't bring the family there.
    Be sure to stick to the main streets and ask the locals where to avoid.
    Do not let his deter you from this wonderful city!
