Vancouver’s Chinatown is one of the largest Chinatowns in North America. It is east of the downtown core at Main Street and Pender Street. It is shown on the right side of the map as a salmon colored circle.

It is so large that you will feel like you have entered China and almost forget you are in Vancouver. There is a wide variety of unique shops and restaurants. This is a place you can really feel the cultural diversity of Vancouver. Chinatown has been doing its thing for over 100 years in Vancouver. You will enjoy the unique atmosphere of the area with its open store fronts with hanging poultry, its bright neon signs, and vast displays of things Chinese.

Chinatown is bordered by Hastings Street on the north and Keefer on the south, on the west is Taylor Street and Gore Street on the east. Every time we have driven through this area we were hard put to find parking
