No matter what city you go to, if you are Asian…you will find yourself visiting Chinatown. When my mother was here, she insisted we go to Chinatown because we were in the area. This was after her morning flight and a day at Granville Island. However, the sense of culture including the bustling shops are always nice to be around.
TIP: You may want to avoid walking up north too far to Main Street & E Hastings Street
Location: Main Street & Keefer Street (Map)
SkyTrain Stop: Main Street
What You’ll Find:
- Typical cheap Chinese food: if you’re on a budget try Kent’s Kitchen or Hon’s Wun-Tun House (remember not to expect too much)
- Many shoppers in the bakeries, BBQ shops, seafood markets, and many supermarkets
- Souvenir and imported goods (home decor, baskets, etc.) from Asia – these may be better priced compared to other stores in the city
- Great seafood markets with a huge selection of fresh fish and shellfish available for very reasonable prices
