Established in the mid-19th century, Victoria Chinatown is one of North America’s oldest and is now a National Historic Site. Located in Victoria, Canada, this vibrant district features a mix of cafes, studios, herbalists, tea rooms, and shops. A notable highlight is Fan Tan Alley, known for its narrow passageway that measures just 35 inches (88.9 centimeters) at its slimmest point. Visitors can explore the historic streets, sample traditional teas, and browse through an array of unique boutiques and cultural offerings.
