Victoria Chinatown

Victoria Chinatown: With its huge lion-and-dragon sculptured welcome gate, its hidden alleyway once home to secret gambling and drug dens and its red sidewalk bricks, Victoria Chinatown is a living, breathing slice of history, according to The Chronicle Herald. It barely covers two blocks today, but the smell of roasting spices, sound of languages and cultures mixing on the street and colourful neon signs illuminating turn-of-the-century buildings fill the atmosphere with a freshness that never gets old and A trip through Chinatown considered the oldest in Canada is like a walk through an open-air museum.
