1,000 Cool Things About Vancouver Chinatown

Beautiful Views From A Parkade In Chinatown

The next cool thing is the top floor and roof of the Chinatown Plaza parkade on the southeast corner of Columbia and Keefer in Chinatown. From here you can see the city in its eastern profile, the distinct hip-and gable roof of Dr. Sun-Yat Sen Botanical Gardens, and across to the North Shore mountains (nice angle for The Lions especially). The skyline shows best in the hour the sun sets behind it. Bonus: no tourists.
