Walk east from Bamboo Village and turn right onto Main St.

There's lots to see between Pender and Keefer on Main, including food markets and a terrific Chinese medicine shop.

On the western side of Main St. you'll find Ultimate 24K Gold Co. (there are actually two branches on Main St.). Chinatown has its share of jewelry stores, but for reliable quality, Ultimate 24K Gold Co. is a good bet.

Though gold is their specialty, Ultimate 24K also sells Burmese jade and South-Sea pearls, along with other gemstones and Canadian diamonds. There's an on-site goldsmith, too, for custom jewelry and repairs.
