Vancouver's oldest church was built in the late 19th century and stands in stark contrast to the modern high-rises and concentrated traffic that surround it. The Gothic Revival church features pointed, arched windows outfitted with spectacular stained glass that depicts Vancouver landmarks. Outstanding acoustics make this a favorite site for choral events. There are several servcies throughout the week, and tours are available. Please call for details, or visit their website at www.cathedral.vancouver.bc.ca/

In the early 20th century, the Sam Kee Company was one of Chinatown's wealthiest enterprises. This extremely narrow, steel-framed building was designed in 1913 as Sam Kee's rebellious response to the city's expropriating 24 feet of his original lot for street-widening without compensating him. The store is less than six feet deep. Large bay windows help make the most of space that once housed public baths, offices, shops and living quarters.

Look out! The Vancouver Lookout Harbour Centre Tower provides a stunning 360-degree view of the city, equally impressive during the day and at night. Opened on August 13, 1977 by Neil Armstrong, who left behind his footprint in the concrete, the tower is Vancouver's tallest at 581 feet. Try to visit on a clear day – even the ride up, in a glass elevator, will give you a great view!
