One of the largest Chinatowns in the western hemisphere, Chinatown Vancouver is a fabulous, fun and vibrant place to stroll, explore, eat, and--of course--shop!

Packed with a wide variety of stores, shopping in Chinatown holds more surprises than you may expect. It's a great place to shop for Chinese imports, furniture and clothes, unique gifts, home decor (and not just Chinese decor), and jewelry.

There are plenty of fresh fruit markets, food markets, Chinese medicine shops, and Chinese-language books, music and DVDs, too.

Start shopping by making a dramatic entrance into Chinatown through the Millennium Gate, at the junction of Taylor St. and Pender St.
