The story behind Fan Tan Alley's crowded corridor
Opium dens and gambling halls once lined the narrow walls of this tiny street in Victoria's Chinatown, TOM HAWTHORN writes

Edit..

I contemplated putting this theme in Heritage... but, chose The Core as it is a thriving part of Vibriant Victoria.. but, a moderator knws best..?

Last week, I was at 532 1/2 Fisgard Street. Hadn't been there before, and it was neat to see. I love that alley entrance and then the courtyard that opens up.

Nice article, it is good to see Dr. Lai get the credit he deserves.

Great selection of pics. Victoria seemed so urban in its infancy...
