Chinatown in Vancouver is the largest Chinatown in Canada. Formerly the center of the Chinese Canadian community in the city, it is now known more as a tourist attraction and historic district as in recent years, it has declined as other Chinese Canadian neighborhoods has sprung up, such as the Golden Village in suburban Richmond. Chinatown is home to the Sam Kee Building, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the narrowest commercial building in the world, and the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, the first classical Chinese gardens outside of China.
