Description

Explore Chinese/Canadian history and culture, right in the heart of the fascinating Chinatown area. The Centre consists of a museum, Chinese library and a school, as well as the Emperor Seafood Restaurant and more. You can also shop in the Arts and Crafts Store, which carries imported Oriental items. The building itself is of particular interest, standing out amongst the crowd with its impressive roof. The interior design is also intricate—both were completed in September 1992 by artists from Beijing.
