Known forchinatownfreeneighborhoodheritage
One of the largest and oldest Chinatowns in North America, marked by the ornate Millennium Gate and blocks of heritage buildings, apothecaries and dim sum houses. It is a neighbourhood in transition, mixing longstanding family shops with new cafes and galleries, and some blocks feel rough around the edges. Pair a wander with the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Garden at its core.
