If you've paid a visit to Chinatown and are still gung-ho for the Asian experience, why not stroll through the Aberdeen Centre? Over 300 stores in the refurbished mall offer a variety of imports from food and teas to clothing, with a mix of entertainment that includes the musical water fountain show and events such as performances by the Chinese Cultural Center, educational programs and contests.

Want an added bonus to shopping at the Harbour Centre's more than 30 stores on ground level? When you are tired of looking into windows, take an elevator ride (admission charged) up to look out of them, and have the city literally at your feet. The observation deck offers sweeping vistas of everything Vancouver is known for, mountains, sea, sky and cityscape. Grab a quick bite at the food court or have a respite at the rotating restaurant with a view up top.

Convenient to downtown, the Metrotown Centre is huge. The mall complex houses chains like Toys R' Us, Sears, and more than 200 additional tenants. The mall is adjacent to the Eaton Centre.

Stretching more than three street blocks long, this busy mall carries what most shoppers need. The Pacific Centre has specialty and designer shops as well as novelty and department stores conveniently located under one roof.

This trendy, sophisticated boulevard boasts designer boutiques, swank hotels, and elegant restaurants. If you've got that shopping bug, or if you're just looking for a unique souvenir, Robson Street is the place to go!
