Stroll through Vancouver’s historic Chinatown with Tyee reporter Christopher Cheung. It’s easy to get lost in the neighbourhood’s aesthetic trappings, from old architecture to obvious Chineseness, like red dragon lanterns. See why Cheung looks beyond that and calls Chinatown a NORC, a naturally-occurring retirement community that seniors have chosen to live the remainder of their lives.
