Welcome to Victoria's Chinatown, a major gateway to the past and present of Chinese Canadians! Our website will introduce you to Chinatown through selected photos, maps, archives, family documents, oral histories and other data. If you are familiar with Victoria, we invite you to take the "Chinatown Quiz" and answer 15 questions about the history, geography, landmarks, streets, organizations and people in the local Chinatown. If you have never visited Victoria's Chinatown, we suggest that you enter the website through thematic portals or use the menu above to learn about streets, Chinatown in art, organizations and individuals.

Gate of Harmonious Interest Victoria Robert Amos

This Chinatown, located in Victoria, British Columbia, is a historical gateway to the Chinese in Canada because it was once the major entry port for Asian immigration to British North America, and later to Canada. From the late 1850s to the 1860s, it was the primary springboard for several thousand Chinese gold miners heading to the Fraser River valley and the Cariboo, and in the 1880s it was the main entry point for the estimated 15,000 Chinese builders of the Canadian Pacific Railway. It is the oldest Chinatown in Canadian history, and the earliest origin of Chinese people in the Canadian "land of promises."

This Chinatown is also a major gateway to the development of Chinese communities in Canada. From the late nineteenth century to the first decade of the twentieth century, it was the largest Chinese settlement in Canada. Meanwhile, its merchant networks supplied new labourers, ethnic goods, and homeland news to numerous Chinese immigrant communities across the gold mines of British Columbia and along the Canadian Pacific Railway. In this Chinatown, the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, the Hongmen Society (later called the Chinese Freemasons), and many clan and county associations served as early headquarters of Chinese communities across Canada.

This Chinatown is an especially important gateway to the most significant trend of Chinese Canadian life. Although the city of Victoria and the provincial legislature located in this city were once the major forces behind the head tax and other anti-Chinese laws in Canada, the local Chinatown was at the forefront of Chinese anti-racism. It also led Chinese engagements with Canadian economic, social and political spheres in spite of mounting racist barriers up to the mid-twentieth century. From the early twentieth century to the present, it was the birthplace of Chinese-Canadian leaders in municipal, provincial, federal, and international politics. Moreover, as early as 1899, this Chinatown produced the first global Chinese political organization, the Chinese Empire Reform Association, and it also provided crucial support to the revolutionary creation of Republican China in 1911. In this sense, this Chinatown is also a gateway to Canada's engagement in the globalized politics of the transpacific world.

Visitor Information

Walk through the wrought-iron gate, along the drive, up the grand staircase and in the former school's formal entrance. View the 1920's era parlours then enter the chapel. Once Victoria's first Roman Catholic Cathedral, it was built in 1858 and moved and added to the school in 1886. Like the many rural French Canadian churches it is modeled after, it has ornate altar and ceiling carvings, gold-leaf detailing, original oil paintings, stained glass windows and a 1913 Casavant pipe organ. The resplendent Novitiate garden at the side entrance to the Chapel has a geometric herb bed, perennials and a recreated 1925 summerhouse. The 1910 formal garden at the north-west corner of the property contains rare trees and the remains of a unique fountain.

The Public Works Department of the BC government purchased the building from the Sisters of St. Ann in 1974. Initially used as office space, the old wood and brick building suffered from years of minimal maintenance and was eventually condemned by the City of Victoria. The building remained closed for more than a decade as plans were considered for the redevelopment of the property. With the completion of the Victoria Accord, a redevelopment plan was recreated. The Provincial Capital Commission partnered with the BC Buildings Corporation to complete a two year, $16.2 million renovation of the 76,000 square foot building. A portion of the building (the Interpretive Centre) was restored to a 1920's appearance while the majority of the building was converted into modern office space. The Ministry of Advanced Education leases the office space while the Ministry of Technology, Innovation and Citizens' Services operates the Interpretive Center, celebrating the history of this important landmark. The 1910 auditorium has also been restored and, along with 6 acres of grounds, is also available for public use.

With roughly 740,000 square metres of parkland, Beacon Hill Park is the crowning jewel in Victoria's park system. There are natural areas, manicured flower beds, footpaths and many sports and play features for the whole family to enjoy.

Routes and Parking in Beacon Hill Park

In September 2021, Bridge Way reopened to vehicles to improve access to the central washrooms for people with disabilities. Bridge Way is open to two-way traffic from Heywood Way to just east of Chestnut Row and is shared by vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.

Bridge Way was closed to vehicles in spring 2020 to increase space for physical distancing during the COVID-19 provincial state of emergency, which ended in summer 2021.

Arbutus Way and Chestnut Row remain as pedestrian/cycling routes and closed to vehicles, except for service vehicles.

A total of 20 accessible parking stalls with new design and dimensions have been installed or upgraded in Beacon Hill Park, including two next to the central washrooms. These improvements enhance access and enjoyment of the park for all.

Beacon Hill Park has more than 330 parking stalls for those travelling by vehicle. Parking lots are open at Heywood Way, Circle Drive and Nursery Road. Street parking remains available along Douglas Street, Cook Street and Dallas Road.

Park Snapshot

Beacon Hill Park has an abundance of natural features and sensitive ecology throughout roughly 740,000 square metres of parkland. A number of environmentally sensitive areas have been identified within the park and are protected through local, provincial and federal law to preserve these threatened and endangered species and ecosystems. In addition to the Garry oak ecosystem, an example of a threatened species is the Yellow Montane Violet, Viola praemorsa.

Meandering footpaths offer long strolls among manicured and natural areas and features for the whole family to enjoy. Kite enthusiasts, paragliders and sailboarders can also take advantage of the open vista across the Strait of Juan De Fuca. Beacon Hill Park has an important status as Mile "0", the western terminus of the 8,000 kilometre Trans-Canada Highway.

Garry Oak Ecosystem

The most notable feature in Beacon Hill Park is the Garry oak ecosystem, which is among Canada's most rare and endangered.

Unsurpassed beauty and rich biological diversity are hallmarks of Garry oak ecosystems. Intense blue camas blossoms, stunning pink shooting stars, and blazing yellow western buttercups appear in spring. Golden grasses wave in summer breezes. In fall, Garry oak trees shed their leathery leaves, revealing intricately gnarled branches cloaked with lichens, liverworts and mosses.

Interspersed among the Garry oak ecosystem in the park are other ecosystems that support many of the same plant and animal species. These include grasslands and rocky habitats such as coastal bluffs. Together, these ecosystems are home to more plant species than any other terrestrial ecosystem in coastal British Columbia, and many of these species occur nowhere else in Canada.

The Garry oak ecosystem is one of the most endangered ecosystems in Canada, with less than five per cent of the original habitat remaining and less than two per cent of this historic ecosystem remaining within the boundaries of the City of Victoria. Beacon Hill Park is a very special place, home to prominent examples of this ecosystem.

Cultural History

For thousands of years, Beacon Hill has also been a place of historical, cultural and sacred significance to the Lekwungen People, now known as Esquimalt Nation and Songhees Nation. The Lekwungen People's activities of cultivating camas and other native plants for food helped shape the landscape of this area. Beacon Hill Park is considered to be archaeologically significant because of this rich First Nations history and contains several known and potential sites, such as an existing ancient First Nations burial ground on the southeast slope of Beacon Hill which is of profound importance.

Beacon Hill Park was formalized in 1882 when the Province of British Columbia granted 75 hectares to the City of Victoria to be held in trust. Beacon Hill Park defines the very essence of Victoria and was designated a municipal heritage site in 2009.

The Moss Lady

The Moss Lady is 11 metres long and 1.7 metres high and is located behind the bandshell on the west side of the park, near Douglas Street.

City staff brought the Moss Lady to life in 2015 using a stainless steel frame, cement, boulders, metal pipe, vinyl-coated chicken wire and a clay-based soil suitable for moss. The cattail and club moss were harvested from Vancouver Island and the hair is made of flowering crocosmia plants.

The Moss Lady was inspired by the Mud Maiden found in the Lost Gardens of Heligan in England. She has another mud-based cousin, Lily, who resides in the Waterfall Cottage Gardens in Australia.

2 spray parks (open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily)

View Trail Map

Overview

The Ogden Point Breakwater is a popular walk near downtown Victoria that follows the cement structure from Dallas Road out towards on the Juan de Fuca Strait to a lighthouse on its furthest end. The area gives people an opportunity to see Victoria's busy harbour traffic as cruise ships, ferries, sailboats, float planes, helicopters and more all pass through the area to reach Victoria. Wildlife is also commonly spotted along the breakwater, from seagulls playfully gliding through the harbour winds to seals hanging around as fishermen cast their lines from the edges of the breakwater.

From Dallas Road, walk along the path and out onto the breakwater. It was only in 2013 that railings were installed along the route as the sides used to have nothing between the path and the cement blocks below. Continue walking along the route, taking moments to look back in both directions at the scenic harbour views.

As the breakwater curves right, you'll notice more marine traffic coming and going from the Victoria harbour area. Not much further and you reach the end at the lighthouse, offering vies looking south the Juan de Fuca Strait, west to Macaulay Point Park in Esquimalt, and north towards the James Bay area.

Back a few meters along the route from the lighthouse, there is a metal gate with stairs where it is possible to walk down to the area below. A word of caution, the large cement blocks can be very slippery when wet and winds, waves, and the tide can make things unpredictable, so walking down and along the cement blocks at the lower level is done at your own risk.

Once you have enjoyed the view, return by walking back along the breakwater towards the Dallas Road area.

Longer Walk

To extend your walk, follow the road east along Dallas Road as the scenic route passes through several parks and connects with popular walking areas such as Beacon Hill Park and Clover Point Park.

Driving Directions

The Ogden Point Breakwater is located in the James Bay area, southwest of downtown Victoria, not far from the Legislature building. To drive there from downtown, the easiest and scenic route is to drive along Belleville Street in front of the Legislature and follow it. It will wind through the neighbourhood and the streets will change names but stay on, what looks like, a main road and don't turn onto any roads with "no exit" signs. Eventually you will make your way onto Dallas Road and, just after passing a large parking area on your right for the cruise ship terminal, park along the water in one of the parking spots.

Public Transportation

The Ogden Point Breakwater is located not far from downtown and one bus can be taken that takes about 15 minutes, depending where you get onto the bus. Alternatively, you can also walk to Ogden Point which takes about 25 minutes from the Legislature building.

To take the bus to Ogden Point from the downtown area, walk to Douglas Street and Bus #31: James Bay. The bus will pass through the neighbourhood behind the Legislature building and when you see the water from Dallas Road, exit the bus (if you are uncertain, ask the bus driver as you are boarding the bus). Walk west (right when facing the water) along the walkway along Dallas Road towards the Ogden Point Breakwater.

Additional Information

Dog-Friendly

Dogs are allowed on the Ogden Point Breakwater but must be on a leash at all times.

Toilets

There are no public washrooms on the Ogden Point Breakwater. There are several businesses nearby with washrooms for customers to use.

hi i will be on a cruise ship in september on the 8th we are stopping in Victoria BC at 9 pm and ship leaves at 11:59 pm what do you recommend to do and are there any shops open to get a souvenir? thanks

Usia2014

Hi, most of the shops in Victoria used to close at 6pm with only a couple staying open till 9pm. When we were there last year we found many shops boarded up and closed down permanently after covid. Your ship is getting in late so if you can get off right away (and not have to wait a while for port clearance), you could take a taxi to the harbour front. It''s a nice walk around there with the Parliament Buildings all lit up with hundreds of lights (that's magical) and you can walk into the Empress Hotel for a drink (other bars will likely be open there as well). Just up the street from the Empress Hotel are the souvenir shops that you can walk to in a few minutes to check out if any are still open. Before the pandemic many were open very late in the summer tourist season. Things have changed. We walked from the cruise ship to the harbour front in about 30 minutes but that was in the day time. A taxi ride is quick and easy especially in the night.

Hi there, just wondering what time most shops are open until. Someone was telling me that they are only open weekdays. is that true??

Depending on what time of year it is as to who is open on weekends and who is open late.Go and enjoy yourself it is Victoria.

's Chinatown is a testament to the resiliency of the culture and traditions brought to Canada by Chinese immigrants more than 150 years ago. These days, Chinatown proudly stands out in the downtown landscape of BC's capital. As one gets closer to the Gate of Harmonious Interest, the ornately decorated arch marking the entrance to Chinatown's centre on Fisgard Street, the neighbourhood's presence is revealed: bold colours of lucky red and gold, distinct architecture, and business names written in Chinese on shop windows.

The History of Canada's Oldest Chinatown

Victoria's Chinatown started as a crude collection of wooden shacks, built by the Chinese immigrants who travelled with an influx of gold seekers, chasing riches in the Fraser Canyon and beyond to Barkerville . Over the years, word of work on the goldfields drew more immigrants from China, and around 15,000 builders came to work on the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway - Victoria became the major entry point for Asian immigration to BC. By 1911, Chinatown had a population of more than 3,000.

The neighbourhood's history has a seedy side of gambling and opium dens (in 1883, Victoria was home to 11 opium shops), distractions catering to a largely male population far from their homes and families. But Chinatown was most importantly a cultural community, one still present today, including a Buddhist temple, the Chinese public school, and community organizations, such as the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, founded in 1909 to protect the rights and safety of Chinese immigrants, which still gather in second floor spaces along Fisgard Street.

A Diverse Neighbourhood

Chinatown was designated a National Historic Site in 1995, and these days is home to a vibrant mix of businesses .

Shops selling souvenirs, hip restaurants and narrow alleys home to quirky shops and yoga studios exist alongside the traditions and culture of the Chinese people. These can still be seen in the neighbourhood's special details: look for small shrines in restaurants, Chinese-style architecture on streetlights and a phone booth, and grocery stores stocked with unusual produce such as durian and dragon fruit, and other speciality ingredients for all styles of Asian cooking.

Dining in Chinatown

Those seeking noodles can find the hand-made variety at I Kyu Noodles, or order a box to go from the kitchen back door at Fan Tan Cafe . For a Chinese-style brunch, explore the myriad of options on the dim sum menus at Dynasty or , where the second floor dining room offers a great view of Fisgard Street. There's cheap lunch combo plates at Ocean Garden or giant bowls of soup with dumplings and BBQ pork (straight from hanging in the restaurant's window to your bowl) at Wah Lai Yuen.

If you're not in the mood for Chinese, the highly lauded Brasserie L'ecole serves hearty French cuisine, including an always wonderful steak and frites, while and celebrate farm-to-table food. Habit Coffee and Bean Around the World are perfect places to pass the time with locally roasted coffee, and Venus Sophia Tea Room and carry a plethora of options for tea-drinkers (you can get a massage in the Silk Road spa , too).
Shopping in Chinatown
Souvenir hunters can get lost in the endless rooms of Fan Tan Trading Co., or Victoria Dragon Village, or explore the shops lining the lantern-lined pathway of Fan Tan Alley for locally made clothing and bags, or used vinyl records. Unique furniture, clothing and even tattoos can be found in the neighbourhood, too.

Although Chinatown only encompasses a small part of downtown Victoria, it's worth taking a stroll through its colourful streets and narrow alleys. To enhance the experience, join a tour with Chinatown Walks or download the self-guided Mysterious Chinatown tour pamphlet from the City of Victoria. Take in the heritage buildings and delicious food, and experience the resiliency of Chinese traditions so lovingly preserved since the first Chinese immigrants arrived in Canada.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

This is the land of the lək̓ʷəŋən People, known today as the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations. As you travel through the city, you will find seven carvings that mark places of cultural significance. To seek out these markers is to learn about the land, its original culture, and the spirit of its people.

Created in 2008, The Signs of lək̓ʷəŋən consist of seven unique site markers that designate culturally significant sites to the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations along the Inner Harbour and surrounding areas. The markers are bronze castings of original cedar carvings that were conceptualized and carved by Coast Salish artist and master carver, Butch Dick with his son Clarence Dick Jr.

At 2.5 meters high and weighing close to 1000 pounds, the markers depict spindle whorls that were traditionally used by Coast Salish women to spin wool and were considered to be the foundation of a Coast Salish family.

The lək̓ʷəŋən People have hunted and gathered here for thousands of years. This area, with its temperate climate, natural harbours, and rich resources, was a trading centre for a diversity of First Peoples. When Captain James Douglas anchored off of Clover Point in 1842, he saw the result of the lək̓ʷəŋən People's careful land management, such as controlled burning and food cultivation. These practices were part of the land and part of Lək̓ʷəŋən culture.

The development of a modern city makes it more difficult to experience the landscape that is home to the lək̓ʷəŋən. However, footprints of traditional land use are all around us, and this land is inseparable from the lives, customs, art, and culture of those who have lived here since the beginning.

The hills, creeks, and marshlands shaped the growth of the city of Victoria. There are messages in the landscape here; oral histories, surviving traditional place names, and the soil itself are all ancient stories waiting to be told. To follow the markers and visit these traditional places is to learn about the land, its original culture, and the spirit of its people. The traditions that were born here carry on today.

The lək̓ʷəŋən people's art is traditionally used on internal house posts and for the decoration of household objects and clothing. This artwork became more scarce when western living supplies became available after 1842. Historically, the outward expressions of Lək̓ʷəŋən culture were more modest than some of the other coastal nations such as the Haida or Kwakwak'wakw. In fact, European travellers interested in native art would sometimes leave from Victoria unaware of the tradition in their midst.

Renaming of the Salish Sea

Songhees Point | p'álәc'әs(Songhees point at the entrance to Victoria Harbour.)

PAH-lu-tsuss means "cradle-board." Traditionally, once infants had learned to walk, their cradles were placed at this sacred headland because of the spiritual power of the water here. More recently, there was a settlement here, and subsequently a Songhees reserve, that traded with the fort on the opposite shore. Songhees Nation moved from this reserve to its current reserve in 1911.

Fort Victoria(North side of Malahat Building on Wharf Street)

An imposing wooden fort, called Fort Camosun (and later known as Fort Victoria, the North side of the Malahat Building on Wharf Street), was built here by the Lək̓ʷəŋən men and women in exchange for trade goods. This marked a drastic change in traditional ways and traditional sustainable land use. A large forested area was destroyed to raise the fort.

Outside City Hall | skwc'әnjíłc

skwu-tsu-KNEE-lth-ch, literally "bitter cherry tree." Here, willow-lined berry-rich creeks and meadows meandered down to the ocean, and paths made by bark harvesters bordered the waterways. The imprints of these creeks can still be seen in the uneven ground of the Market Square area. This was a creek bed that led back to the food gathering areas now contained by Fort, View, Vancouver and Quadra streets. Bark from the bitter cherry was used to make a variety of household objects.

Lower Causeway | xwsзyq'әm
(Lower Causeway of Inner Harbour)
Whu-SEI-kum, "place of mud", marked wide tidal mudflats and some of the best clam beds on the coast. These flats were buried when the area was filled in to construct the Empress Hotel. This place was also one end of a canoe portage. The portage could be used to avoid the harbour entrance during heavy seas by cutting through from the eastern side of what is now Ross Bay Cemetery. Along the route, arrowheads and other stone tools are still found, reminding us that the lowlands were rich for hunting. When housing development began, the lower elevations were left for market gardens and nurseries until after the Second World War.

Beacon Hill | míqәn(Off Circle Drive in Beacon Hill Park.)

The hill here is called MEE-qan which means "warmed by the sun". This seaward slope was a popular place for rest and play - a game similar to field hockey, called Coqwialls, was played here. At the bottom of the hill was a small, palisaded village that was occupied intermittently from 1,000 until approximately 300 years ago. The settlement was here for defence during times of war, and it was also important for reef net fishing. The starchy bulbs of the wildflower, Camas, were an important food source gathered in this area. The hill here is also known as Beacon Hill.

Royal British Columbia Museum | q'emásәnj(Corner of Government and Belleville Street)

Corner of Government and Belleville Streets The objects, carvings and art of the Lək̓ʷəŋən people are unique. The Lək̓ʷəŋən have loaned many cultural objects from this area to the museum so that the traditions can be shared as we share the land. Some of these objects are on display inside.

Laurel Point

The carving here marks a nineteenth century First Nations burial ground. Small burial shelters with different carved mortuary figures, including human figures, were placed in front of the graves and stood here until the 1850s. No traditional name is known for this area.

It's still one of the most British cities in North America, but there's more to Victoria than tearooms, antique shops and galleries (though there are plenty of those). Driven by the younger generation, the city has sprouted a collection of cool shops, authentic coffee bars and unique restaurants. It also has more cycling routes than any other Canadian city, providing a great way to explore the picturesque location (and avoid an afternoon of antique shopping).
