Best and Biggest Chinatowns around the world

Vancouver Chinatown

Vancouver's compact Chinatown, dating from 1885, is the biggest in Canada and the third largest in North America (after San Francisco and New York). It stretches for several blocks east from Main Street and its centre is a ten- to fifteen-minute walk from downtown. Vancouver's Chinatown is also the location of the world's narrowest commercial building - the Sam Kee Building. The property is just 1.5 metres deep.
