The guidebooks are quite deceiving about Vancouver's Chinatown. It is very sketchy given that it is so close to East Hastings (the roughest place in Vancouver). I made a quick trip with a purpose - buying some tea. I would suggest you avoid the place unless you have a predetermined objective. There are too many other good things to do... More

Kerching, kerching! Yep, that's right...Chinatown is all about business and cash registers making that familiar kerching sound!

This part of town was a bit sketchy....i did enjoy the small shops along the way and one of the restaurants i went to...then i saw this 2$ store...amazing deals and cool stuff from China and Japan.

Chinatown, need I say more. Be sure to see the Chinese Garden. This is a fun walk and an easy stroll back to Gastown.

...and didn't read tripadvisor first. This place is truly disturbing and terrible. I'm sure there are nice places in there somewhere that deserve your business or visit, but it's not worth it. The Chinese garden (free side) was nice but small. We tried to walk around for a few minutes, but it was not a place you'd want to wander... More

I have appointed myself Chinatown supermarket ambassador in which one of my key responsibilities is to check their inventory and their pricing. Why....coz i am strange. The fruits and seafood selection is quite amazing, plus the fresh Chinese pastries and weird antipasti like cold jellyfish and cold pigs' ears. The place itself is extremely interesting, plenty of things to see... More
