At the end of No. 4 Road sits a sleepy, quaint assortment of wooden houses,<br />
some on stilts and some floating in Fraser River marshland. It’s called Finn<br />

immigrants a century ago.<br />

Cast away! For the avid fisherman, history buff or those who just want a taste of the famed fish n’ chips, Steveston is a one-stop-shop!<br />
Steveston: Fishing Deep Into History<br />
At the cannery and shipyard, history is as fresh as a sea breeze<br />
To understand how <strong>Richmond</strong>’s maritime-oriented<br />
residents lived a century ago, two must-visit<br />
attractions are the Gulf of Georgia Cannery and<br />
the Britannia Shipyard Park. Both are designated<br />
National Historic Sites.<br />
Gulf of Georgia Cannery<br />
Southwest <strong>Richmond</strong> emerged as a major salmon<br />
canning centre in the late 1800’s. By the turn of the<br />
century, fifteen canneries packed the waterfront.<br />
Yet no <strong>BC</strong> cannery was bigger, or more productive,<br />
than the 1894-built Gulf of Georgia Cannery<br />
(gulfofgeorgiacannery.com).<br />
10 tourismrichmond.com 1.877.247.0777<br />
Occupying 55,000 square feet, it’s operated as a<br />
museum since 1994. Redolent with the scent of tar,<br />
twine, and the ocean, the Gulf of Georgia Cannery<br />
is an interactive feast for the senses.<br />
View a 20-minute introductory film in the old boiler<br />
room. Admire fishing boats and a “fish wall” with<br />
models of salmon, halibut, herring, and cod. Learn<br />
the difference between seine fishing and trolling.<br />
Check out the canning line machine demonstration<br />
and the herring reduction plant. The gift shop sells<br />
salmon-themed clothes and mugs with vintage<br />
salmon can labels.
A fun way to learn at the Cannery.<br />
Numerous historical gems pepper the village of Steveston. The<br />
Gulf of Georgia Cannery was the largest building of its kind and<br />
the leading producer of canned salmon in British Columbia.<br />
Historical, waterfront living.<br />
From the docks you see why<br />
Steveston is renowned for<br />
its picturesque setting.<br />
Steveston, <strong>Richmond</strong>, <strong>BC</strong> 11
So, you like canned salmon, eh? You’d have loved Steveston back in 1897.<br />
Granted, they didn’t know much about the health benefits of protein,<br />
calcium, and Omega-3 fatty acids in those days. But they knew canned<br />
salmon. The Gulf of Georgia Cannery packed a whopping 2.5 million cans<br />
that year.<br />
The Gulf of Georgia Cannery is open daily from 10<br />
a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is just $9.00 for adults,<br />
$7.50 for seniors, $4.50 for children over six, and<br />
free for tots. Or you can opt for the Family Admission<br />
rate of $22.00. Free parking is available.<br />
Britannia Heritage Shipyards<br />
Britannia Shipyards (richmond.ca/britannia) honours<br />
a way of life that flourished when Steveston was<br />
the “salmon capital of the world.” Stroll along a<br />
waterfront boardwalk and visit renovated 19thcentury<br />
stilt houses, bunkhouses, and boatworks.<br />
Historic fishing vessels are on display.<br />
You’ll discover the stories of real people who resided<br />
in <strong>BC</strong>’s oldest shipyard community, from original<br />
police chief John Murchison to boat builder Otokichi<br />
Murakami.<br />
The “How We Lived” exhibit displays living conditions<br />
for cannery workers of European and Chinese<br />
heritage. Check out restored rooms adorned with<br />
movie postcards, old sewing machines, and castiron<br />
stoves, and listen to recorded interviews with<br />
onetime residents. Take a brochure for a self-guided<br />
tour or ask a staff member.<br />
12 tourismrichmond.com 1.877.247.0777<br />
Each August, Britannia hosts the <strong>Richmond</strong><br />
Maritime Festival. Up to 15,000 people attend to<br />
admire different vessels, from old fishing boats to<br />
classic power boats to 1930’s rum-runners. Families<br />
enjoy singing along to sea shanties and learning<br />
how to tie knots.<br />
Another fun family option at Britannia is throwing<br />
a pirate-themed birthday party, complete with a<br />
costumed performer. Folk concerts and yoga classes<br />
also take place here.<br />
The site is open Tuesday to Sunday from May to<br />
September, and weekends from October to April.
The Britannia Shipyard is perfect for a history buff!<br />
Each August, The Britannia Shipyard hosts<br />
<strong>Richmond</strong>’s Annual Maritime Festival.<br />

Famous, incredibly fun, full of food, music, knick-knacks and people, the night markets are not to be missed!<br />
Shopping under the stars is more fun!<br />
Welcome to the Asian Night Markets<br />
Shop like a superstar at these colourful <strong>Richmond</strong> institutions.<br />
It’s always fun, fun, fun at a Night Market in<br />
<strong>Richmond</strong>!<br />
Imagine it’s a hot summer night just south of the<br />
Fraser River. You’re at the Summer Night Market,<br />
located just off the Knight Street Bridge near IKEA.<br />
Named by Travel and Leisure Magazine in 2011 as<br />
one of the top night markets in the world, you’ll<br />
find yourself cheerfully browsing through some 400<br />
brightly lit, colourful booths. They’re hawking cell<br />
phone covers, Hello Kitty slippers, jewelry, glassware,<br />
and mouthwatering Asian street food: Chinese dim<br />
sum, Japanese takoyaki balls, Korean twist potato,<br />
and much more.<br />
Suddenly, you hear an announcement from the<br />
main entertainment stage: “Attention, please!<br />
We’re missing one contestant for tonight’s eating<br />
14 tourismrichmond.com 1.877.247.0777<br />
competition. Would anyone like to volunteer?”<br />
And you decide, hey, why not? The Summer Night<br />
Market might be your ticket to competitive eating<br />
stardom!<br />
Then it’s off to the <strong>Richmond</strong> Night Market over<br />
at Duck Island, next to the River Rock Hotel and<br />
Casino and just steps from the Canada Line. With<br />
88 food stalls and over 256 other vendors, you’re<br />
guaranteed an evening of surprising new finds.<br />
This <strong>Richmond</strong> Night Market will also feature<br />
carnival rides and a children’s amusement zone,<br />
adding thrills and chills to your nightly experience.<br />
Next time you’ll come back and watch the Chinese<br />
karaoke contest. Or maybe the Filipino talent<br />
competition. It’s all further proof that in <strong>Richmond</strong>,<br />
you can visit Asia without the jet lag.
Feeling adventurous? Try one of the hundreds of market-style foods<br />
Starting this year, <strong>Richmond</strong> will boast two<br />
Asian – influenced night markets.<br />

365 Days of Dining<br />
In a city with over 800 restaurants, 400 of which are Asian, it can be a bit of a challenge to decide where to eat. That’s why,<br />
beginning in June 2012 for one entire year, our new <strong>Richmond</strong> Foodie Blogger will seek out the city’s best breakfast, lunch or dinner<br />
hot spots, discover who has the best fish and chips or suggest where to try crab linguini or hand-pulled noodles. The tantalizing<br />
results including in-depth reviews, photos, videos, dishes and menus will be posted on our official blog www.365daysofdining.com.<br />
<strong>Richmond</strong>’s Foodie Blogger will unveil new posts daily which not only chronicle a culinary tale, but also a day-in-the-life and the<br />
journey of this unique role as they experience everything the city has to offer from festivals and events to the individuals who<br />
comprise our culinary scene.<br />
<strong>Richmond</strong>’s Foodie Blogger was carefully chosen by <strong>Tourism</strong> <strong>Richmond</strong> in a one-of-a-kind online job search, its largest campaign<br />
since the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. The open auditions for the year-long post which were held in March 2012, sought<br />
out an ambassador who will visit at least one of the city’s restaurants each day, and craft web posts complete with photographs and<br />
video of their culinary adventure. The global search was an unqualified success, attracting over 1500 food lovers and food bloggers.<br />
In June 2012, <strong>Tourism</strong> <strong>Richmond</strong> announced the winning social media whiz who will sample the amazing fare our 800+ restaurants<br />
have to offer - one meal and one restaurant at a time, for 365 consecutive days.<br />

<strong>Richmond</strong>’s Highway to Heaven offers a unique insight into the world of religion.<br />
The Highway to Heaven:<br />
Exploring <strong>Richmond</strong>’s Faiths<br />
In a world torn with religious strife, it’s refreshing to discover a place where different<br />
belief systems co-exist peacefully side by side. In <strong>Richmond</strong>, it’s called the “Highway<br />
to Heaven.”<br />
<strong>Richmond</strong>’s population is about 65 per cent Asian,<br />
and this stretch of No. 5 Road reflects multicultural<br />
diversity. Even those who don’t follow a particular<br />
faith will be fascinated by the culture, history, and<br />
architecture that mark the colourful houses of<br />
worship here.<br />
In 2007, the “Highway to Heaven” was chosen as<br />
one of 52 finalists in the Seven Wonders of Canada<br />
contest run by the C<strong>BC</strong> (Canadian Broadcasting<br />
Corporation). Why not pay a visit?<br />
<strong>Richmond</strong>’s Spiritual Side<br />
At the Ram Krishna Mandir in the Vedic Cultural<br />
Centre, you can learn about Hindu beliefs. Observe<br />
18 tourismrichmond.com 1.877.247.0777<br />
eye-catching statues of Hindu gods on the main<br />
stage, listen to chanted mantras, or do a yoga class<br />
or meditation session. A free Indian vegetarian lunch<br />
is served on Sundays.<br />
Elsewhere on the “Highway to Heaven,” you’ll<br />
discover the Az-Zaharaa Islamic Centre, the Ling<br />
Yen Mountain Temple (a Buddhist nunnery), and the<br />
<strong>Richmond</strong> Jewish Day School.<br />
Churches like the <strong>Richmond</strong> Chinese Free Evangelical<br />
Church and the <strong>Richmond</strong> Bethel Mennonite Church<br />
serve the city’s diverse Christian community.
Contemplative and peaceful temple gardens.<br />
There are over 1,000 statues of the Buddha at<br />
Thrangu Monastery, one of the only traditional<br />
Tibetan monasteries in North America.<br />
Highway To Heaven 19
The Thrangu Monastery (vajravidhya.com), which opened in 2010, is<br />
Canada’s first traditional Tibetan monastery. It features a 13-foot gold<br />

Quench your thirst at <strong>Richmond</strong>’s three wineries<br />
<strong>Richmond</strong>’s wine scene has taken off since the year<br />
2000. Today, you can sip an intoxicating variety<br />
of table wines, fruit wines, icewines and specialty<br />
wines at <strong>Richmond</strong>’s three wineries. Make a wine<br />
tour part of your two-night getaway.<br />
Sanduz Estate Wines<br />
British Columbia produces 95 per cent of Canada’s<br />
blueberry crop, much of it in <strong>Richmond</strong>, and<br />
Sanduz Estate Wines (sanduzwines.com) takes full<br />
advantage. It’s on a 10-acre berry farm.<br />
Since debuting in 2006, Sanduz has gained awardwinning<br />
fame for its dry blueberry wine, which<br />
delivers the taste and aroma of the actual berry.<br />
22 tourismrichmond.com 1.877.247.0777<br />
Don’t overlook the sweet blueberry dessert wine<br />
and blueberry port. As a bonus, Sanduz sells frozen<br />
blueberries year-round, and has created a unique<br />
patented brand of puffed blueberry snacks.<br />
You could spend hours in the elegant, high-ceilinged<br />
store, exploring <strong>BC</strong>’s largest selection of fruit wines.<br />
Flavours include peach, gooseberry, raspberry,<br />
cranberry, blackberry and granny smith apple.<br />
Sanduz also makes nice table wines, from merlot to<br />
pinot noir, and markets jams and jellies.

Lulu Island Winery is the largest exporter of icewine<br />
to China in the world.<br />
Late afternoon wine tasting sounds divine!<br />
Wineries 23
Want to get the best out of your <strong>Richmond</strong> fruit wines? Drink them fresh,<br />
usually within about a year of when they’re produced. Check labels or ask<br />
the winery for the ideal food-wine pairing.<br />
Lulu Island Winery<br />
At Lulu Island Winery (luluislandwinery.com), Metro<br />
Vancouver’s largest winery and biggest exporter of<br />
icewine to China in the world, developing a taste for<br />
icewines is easy. It takes up to 35 pounds of naturally<br />
frozen Okanagan grapes to make one 375-ml bottle<br />
of this delectably sweet wine, certified by the VQA<br />
(Vintner’s Quality Alliance). The Riesling Chardonnay<br />
icewine is a perennial favourite.<br />
Just 20 minutes from Vancouver International<br />
Airport, Lulu Island Winery is a perfect place for a<br />
party. In addition to the two big tasting rooms, a<br />
spacious hall hosts up to 200 guests.<br />
The spectacular building opened in 2009, just<br />
before <strong>Richmond</strong> served as an official Venue City for<br />
the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. During<br />
the Games, the winery served as “China House” for<br />
the Chinese Olympic Committee. Chinese athletes’<br />
uniforms and Olympic banners are on display.<br />

(isabellawinery.com) is a hotspot for icewines<br />
and fruit wines. From zinfandel to syrah, this<br />

This multicultural city offers endless dining variety with fresh, local ingredients at affordable prices.<br />
Dining<br />
From Asian delicacies to West Coast seafood, <strong>Richmond</strong> satisfies<br />
Picture <strong>Richmond</strong> as a huge banquet table<br />
overflowing with tasty cuisine. Clam chowder and<br />
crab linguini. Szechuan noodles and roast duck.<br />
Blueberry pie and dragon’s beard candy. Is your<br />
mouth watering yet?<br />
This multicultural city offers endless dining variety<br />
with fresh, local ingredients at affordable prices.<br />
Two of <strong>Richmond</strong>’s culinary meccas are the Golden<br />
Village, home to most of <strong>Richmond</strong>’s 400 or more<br />
Asian restaurants, and the Historic Fishing Village of<br />
Steveston, where seafood cuisine reigns supreme.<br />
Asian Restaurants<br />
Within the four-block radius of the Golden Village,<br />
30 tourismrichmond.com 1.877.247.0777<br />
just off No. 3 Road, you’ll discover why the New<br />
York Times said <strong>Richmond</strong> cooks up the “best<br />
Chinese food outside China.”<br />
In many cities, you’d have to travel miles to sample<br />
all these flavours. But in <strong>Richmond</strong>, just head to<br />
Alexandra Road, nicknamed “Food Street.” It<br />
features more than 200 Asian restaurants packed<br />
into three blocks in the Golden Village district.<br />
That testifies to <strong>Richmond</strong>’s passion for food, be it<br />
Malaysian, Vietnamese, or Thai.<br />
Jade Seafood Restaurant (jaderestaurant.ca) recently<br />
won the 2012 Chinese Restaurant Awards for the<br />
Best Dim Sum, Best Signature Crab Dish and Best<br />
Overall Restaurant.
Farm fresh, nothing tastes better<br />
So many options!<br />
“<strong>Richmond</strong> boasts the best Chinese food<br />
outside of China.” - New York Times<br />
Handmade noodles - a true cuilinary art.<br />
Beautiful treats are served at high tea.<br />
Dining 31
Nearby, at Sun Sui Wah (sunsuiwah.com), feast upon the famous signature<br />
dish of roased squab or sample a rare and exotic catch like the potato eel<br />
from live seafood tanks. There’s also a wide and varied dim sum menu,<br />
considered to be among the best outside of Asia.<br />
At this second-floor establishment on Alexandra<br />
Road, tuck into delicacies like sauteed geoduck with<br />
egg white and Singapore-style pan-fried vermicelli.<br />
Bowtied waiters, jade carvings, and floor-to-ceiling<br />
windows enhance the ambience.<br />
From Korean short ribs and seafood pancake to<br />
bibimbap (seasoned vegetables with rice, sliced<br />
meat, and egg) and bulgogi (marinated and grilled<br />
beef, pork, or chicken slices), Jang Mo Jib does it<br />
all well. Top off your main course with kimchi and<br />
other side dishes that seemingly materialize all over<br />
your table. Jang Mo Jib (jangmojib.ca) delights with<br />
both quantity and quality.<br />
You can always grab a cheap, delicious bite at the<br />
bustling food courts of the Golden Village’s three<br />
big Asian-themed malls.<br />
At Parker Place (parkerplace.com), enjoy a heaping<br />
plate of, say, shrimp and scallop fried rice for as<br />
little as $5. Make sure to visit the only four-faced<br />
Buddhist shrine in <strong>Richmond</strong> before you go.<br />
Vietnamese, Thai, and Malaysian flavours<br />
tempt diners at the 15 food outlets in Yaohan<br />
Centre (yaohancentre.com). Aberdeen Centre<br />
(aberdeencentre.com) provides tantalizing<br />
choices from Chef Hung’s Taiwanese Beef Noodle<br />
(chefhungnoodle.com) to Saboten Express<br />
(saboten.ca).<br />

getaway? Several of <strong>Richmond</strong>’s 27 brandname<br />

right there in the Golden Village.<br />
West Coast Seafood<br />
If you love the fresh-caught seafood at Fisherman’s<br />
Wharf in Victoria or San Francisco, you owe yourself<br />
a visit to Steveston’s Fisherman’s Wharf. Admire<br />
the waterfront view while you dine and watch the<br />
activities of the 500 fishing boats that make up<br />
Canada’s largest commercial fleet.<br />
Grilled sockeye salmon and Haida Gwaii halibut<br />
grace the menu at Blue Canoe (bluecanoerestaurant.<br />
com), along with Angus beef steaks and burgers.<br />
Something casual more your style? Choose from the<br />
legendary fish and chips with coleslaw or crab cakes<br />
at Pajo’s (pajos.com), a Wharf institution since 1985,<br />
There’s also Dave’s or Pat’s Galley; they all serve up<br />
crunchy fried fish and steaming chips. Prefer crab?<br />
Crab King is the place to go.<br />
Other tasty treats include fine dining at Tapenade<br />
(tapenade.ca) and sushi at Yokohama Teppanyaki<br />
Restaurant (www.yokohamabc.com)
Food for the Whole Family<br />
Craving more variety? It’s all here in <strong>Richmond</strong>.<br />
Fill up at chain and casual eateries, like Boston<br />

for pasta or enjoy some pub fare at the Riverport<br />
entertainment complex in southeast <strong>Richmond</strong>. The<br />
city also offers up fine Greek, Italian, pizza, and<br />
vegetarian restaurants.<br />
Steveston specializes in decadent desserts.<br />
Choose from delicious cupcakes at Bell’s Bake<br />
Shop (bellsbakeshop.com), fresh-baked scones<br />
at the 19th-century-style London Heritage Farm<br />
