• Vancouver Chinatown Millennium Gate – can be found between Pender St. and Taylor St., and is a magnificent structure and iconic gateway into Chinatown. It not only commemorates the millennium, but it is also a symbol of the Eastern and Western cultures joining as one in this community.
  • West Han Dynasty Bell – is located in Shanghai Alley, and displays a monument that was given as a gift from the city of Guangzhou, China, memorializing Chinese history within Vancouver.
  • Sam Kee Building – The World’s Narrowest Building is a tight squeeze found at #8 West Pender St. Recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records as “The World’s Narrowest Building”, this structure spans barely an arms-width apart at only 6 feet wide, and is a local treasure worth exploring.
  • Dr. Sun Yat Sen Classical Chinese Garden – offers green thumbs and city sorts alike a traditional Chinese garden in which to enjoy, located at 578 Carrall St. Regardless of the season, this is one of the most beautiful locations to visit within Vancouver, offering a year-round place to see and smell some natural beauty.
