Aboriginal artists practise their craft along the streets of Gastown. Local artists offer alternative souvenirs to tourists.

Gastown is Vancouver’s oldest neighbourhood. It is home to many bars, businesses, shops and restaurants. The diversity of the neighbourhood has contributed to it becoming a tourist’s delight as they search for souvenirs, art, and snap a quick picture.

Year after year the area is host to thousands of people from around the world. The view of North Vancouver from outside of Steamworks Restaurant, and the faux heritage steam clock at the corner of Water Street and Cambie are just two examples of places to see. Photographer Ana Chi has captured the essence of this famous neighbourhood through her lens.
