Vancouver's Community Information
Chinatown Real Estate
About 36,000 people of Chinese descent live in the city's
thriving downtown Chinatown, centered on W Pender St at the base of
the peninsula. You can seek a peaceful respite from the crowded sidewalks
and shops at the Dr Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, the only full-scale
Chinese garden found outside China. The garden incorporates numerous
examples of the Taoist principles of yin and yang, and you won't miss
any of them if you take the guided tour, included in the admission fee.
Partially hidden among bulkier neighbors is the World's Narrowest Office
Building (also known as the Sam Kee Building), an architectural oddity
listed in the Guiness Book of Records for its skinniness.
