Chinatown is a neighborhood in Vancouver, British Columbia, the largest Chinatown in Canada. Centered on Pender Street, Gastown to the North, Downtown Financial and Central Business District to the West, Georgia Viaduct and False Creek Entrance to the South, Downtown Eastside and Old Japantown Relics to the Northeast, and Strathcona to the Southeast residential area.

Because of Vancouver's large Chinese population -- especially Cantonese-speaking multi-generation Chinese Canadians and first-generation immigrants from Hong Kong -- the city is known as Hongcouver. In recent years, however, most immigrants have come from Mandarin-speaking residents of mainland China. Chinatown remains a popular tourist attraction and is one of the largest historic Chinatowns in North America, but it has recently experienced decline as new members of Vancouver's Chinese community dispersed to other parts of the metropolitan area.

Chinatown is known for its lively food scene, including traditional Asian bakeries, dim sum restaurants and trendy cocktail bars. Old-school pharmacists fill their shelves with canned ginseng and dried fish, while independent boutiques fill the streets with Chinese grocery stores filled with fresh seafood and exotic vegetables. The nearby Sun Yat-sen Classical Chinese Garden has peaceful paths and pavilions.

This book is my street shoot in the last 6 years.
