Fan Tan Alley

Hidden Gems · Chinatown · Free

Canada's narrowest street — about 90 cm wide at its tightest — running between Fisgard Street and Pandora Avenue in the heart of Chinatown. Once a gambling and opium-era passageway, it is now lined with tiny boutiques and studios and is easy to walk straight past if you don't know the doorway to look for.
