On the way there, the streets we walked past were lined with dilapidated buildings, many not in use. There were few walking on the streets too. It is one of the few unpleasant streets in Vancouver.
Anyway, it was bright daylight, so we hurried on.
When we reached, it was clear that Chinatown was something of the past. Shops were empty and streets were lacking visitors. Only restaurants and shops selling fresh or dried goods were still in the business.
One of Vancouver's attractions, the Sun Yat Sen park, was in Chinatown.
It was, surprisingly, filled with visitors. Crowded to the point that it was hard to take a photo without a visitor in the frame. The park did not seem interesting though, and was rather bare.
The pavilion was surrounded by a pool of lily pads... of which few were in bloom.
The entrance
The adjoining park which required an entry fee (the reason it was not bustling like the free one)
I would not recommend walking to the old Chinatown, there was nothing there worth visiting.
Sadly.
