Vancouver's Chinatown is the second biggest Chinatown in North America's, after San Francisco's. Mandarin and Cantonese are the mother tongues in 30 percent of Vancouver homes, which makes Chinese the largest“minority”ethnic （人種的）group. There are lots of interesting markets with many varieties of fresh and dried seafood and mushrooms. You'll also find inexpensive house ware（家用器皿）and traditional Chinese medicine.

　　Vancouver's Chinatown is also a popular tourist attraction and wealthy commercial district. Its busy streets are full of color and commerce（商業(yè)）; even the tower-topped telephone booths add to the atmosphere. During the summer, on weekend evenings, Keefer and Pender Streets become a busy open-air night market. Shop displays spill onto the pavements. The Sam Kee Building in Pender Street is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records（吉尼斯世界記錄）as being the narrowest building in the world, at only six-foot (two metres) wide. Another main attraction in Chinatown is the Dr Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, which was built in 1986 at a cost of $ 5.3 million with the craftsmen（工匠）and materials all imported from China．Next door to the Garden is the Chinese Cultural Centre with gates hand-painted in traditional color.

　　In the past, Chinatown was regarded as nothing more than a ghetto site（貧民窟）.Chinese immigrants first arrived on the province during the 1850s, when the Fraser Gold rush occurred. Many Chinese laborers were imported to build the railway tracks with terrible working conditions and low pay. Many years had passed Chinese Canadians were finally granted citizenship in 1947.

　　Modern Chinatown is filled with many shops that sell various herbs, sweet cakes and other items. Eating in Chinatown is not only unique but also rewarding, as you will be presented with an assortment of tasty dishes. The atmosphere in any restaurant is always busy so be patient when you are eating there. It is considered common polite behavior to pay a tip to the waiters who are serving even though it is not in the Chinese custom to accept tips.
