A Wok around Vancouver’s Chinatown
During the frenetic days of the mid-1800’s gold rush, Vancouver’s Chinese were confined to a restricted ghetto. Only in recent years has the Chinatown become known for its classical gardens and historic landmarks, diverse foods and ethnic cookware, and exotic herbal medicine shops. A colorful new entry gate on Pender Street welcomes the visitor.
