EXPLORING CHINATOWN

Springtime is a perfect time to explore Vancouver's colourful Chinatown.

In the month of May, the Vancouver Asian Heritage Month Society in collaboration with Robert Sung Tours will be conducting walking tours in commemoration of the 1907 Chinatown Riots, a racial incident which has profound significance in the Vancouver Chinese community. As well as emphasizing the riots, the tour will include strolling through the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Gardens, viewing of historical
landmarks, savouring an authentic dim sum lunch, exploring exotic food, cookware & herbal medicine stores, and a visit to a unique Taoist Church.

The tours will occur on Sundays, May 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th.

Vancouver Chinatown has many shops and services to offer.
The shopping experience in Chinatown will amaze you.
After you experience this colourful and diverse area, you'll be coming back for more and more often!
