Chinatown is a historic neighborhood in Vancouver. It is known for its buzzing food scene, which includes traditional Asian bakeries, dim sum restaurants and hip cocktail bars. Jars of ginseng and dried fish line the shelves of old-school apothecaries, while Chinese groceries stocked with live seafood and exotic vegetables share the streets with indie fashion shops. Nearby, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden has tranquil paths and pavilions. As a Vacouverite, I would try to avoid Hastings & Main Street Area at day or night time.

Stanley Park is a 405-hectare public park that borders the downtown of Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada and is mostly surrounded by waters of Burrard Inlet and English Bay.

Coal Harbour is a downtown area known for its marina, mountain views, and mix of casual and upscale waterside eateries.
