Only a 20-minute SkyTrain ride from downtown Vancouver, Richmond is a thriving coastal city with a dining scene as vibrant and diverse as the people that call the city home. More than 70% of the city’s population claims Asian heritage, so it’s no wonder that Richmond is famous for having some of the tastiest and most authentic Asian cuisine this side of the Pacific. Be sure to visit the Night Market, Fisherman’s Wharf, and the Dumpling Trail.
