Even though Asian people are the second largest ethnic group in greater Vancouver with, according to Wikipedia, around 40% of the population, the designated "Chinatown" is only two or three city blocks. Within this area there is a small, but well designed, "Sun Yat Sen" Memorial Garden with a pavilion, goldfish pond complete with lily pads, willow trees, bamboo and other oriental features. However, most enjoyable was the nearby Chinese restaurant at the Asian Center. When we complimented the head waiter on delectable and authentic "dim sum" (dumplings), he informed us that all his chefs were authentic Chinese trained chefs from Hong Kong. We had such a great time eating!
