Once home to opium dens and gambling halls, Chinatown now mixes contemporary stores and live-work condos with traditional Asian markets and diners. Many of Victoria's contemporary home decor and furnishings stores are found in this neighbourhood. Visitors can stroll historical Fan Tan Alley – the narrowest street in Canada – or the newly developed Dragon Alley.

Again, the new mixes with the old as alternative clothing stores line this two-block area of lower Johnson Street. Market Square anchors Olde Town with over 40 stores and restaurants to choose from.
From things you never dreamed of to things you haven't found anywhere else. And because we don't have acres of space, we are extremely particular about what we will sell. We simply look for those things that we feel are the best choice - from peelers to pillows.
