Victoria’s Chinatown National Historic Site
Victoria’s Chinatown (Canada’s oldest) offers ornate gateways, narrow alleys (Fan Tan Alley), colorful shopfronts and mixed Victorian–Chinese architecture — great for detailed architectural and street scenes. Best at golden hour or after dusk when lanterns light up. Easily walkable from downtown; limited street parking; accessible but some alleys are narrow and cobbled. Respect businesses and cultural sites; quiet weekdays reduce crowds.
