Vancouver Culture

Vancouver has a thriving Asian population comprised of both natives and new immigrants, along with the third-largest Chinatown in the Americas (after San Francisco and New York). The city’s founders had to be hardy, enterprising, and adventurous, and today their descendants are no different.

The laid-back, do-your-own-thing atmosphere also draws many artists, musicians, and other creative

types, who tend to congregate in the dive bars in and around Gastown (and who wear the clothes found in its faux-vintage boutiques). Granville Island’s artsiness is glossier and more tourist-oriented, though it does have the presence of the illustrious Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design.

As you would expect in a place with so many excellent parks and beaches, Vancouver’s population is generally outdoorsy and fit. On summer evenings you’ll find athletic twentysomethings diving for balls on the sandy volleyball courts on the north side of Cambie Bridge, and there are always plenty of joggers and cyclists traversing Stanley Park’s Sea Wall.
