Vancouver's Chinatown and the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Park
Marc and I were curious to see Vancouver's Chinatown. It wasn't very big, at least that's how it seemed to me. It likewise was not as busy as the Chinatowns I have seen and visited the world over. I suppose I was expecting more hustle and bustle. After all, Vancouver has not been nicknamed Hongcouver for nothing. Perhaps, we just got there very early. Then again, it was probably so because many of the Chinese in Vancouver were literally everywhere. They did not just stay in one section of the city.

The Dr. Sun Yat Sen Park in Chinatown was nice and picturesque.
