We went here to see the famouse Fan Tan Alley. Don't expect much. Fan Tan Alley is a interest, but nothing in it to attract you. Some very lame shops. But we got our photos there. There are some quaint little shops on the main st of Chinatown, and a great second hand place too. However once you walk the street which is only several hundred meters long you have had enough. Worth a quick look if you have time, but if you've only got a day in Victoria, give it a miss.
it is said that it is the first and the oldest Chinatown in Canada. Actually it is very small. but you can buy any chinese cuisine material you needed.
