China Town
Vancouver
This is North America's second biggest Chinatown, after San Francisco's.
Mandarin and Cantonese are the mother tongues in 30 per cent of
Vancouver homes, which makes Chinese the largest "minority" ethnic
group. There are lots of interesting markets with many varieties of
fresh and dried seafood and mushrooms. You'll also find inexpensive
houseware and traditional Chinese medicine.
Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Vancouver. 50 E. Pender Street, Vancouver BC V6A 3V6. Phone: 604-658-8850; Fax: 604-687-6260.
