 Richmond
Island City, by Nature
Although indications of the original economy of Richmond, agriculture and fishing, are still there, the small rural community is now a large bustling city. Here and there you can get a glimpse of an earlier, slower life in the village of Steveston, the productive farms, large parks and extensive dike system.
Just twenty minutes south of Vancouver, Richmond is comprised of a series of islands in the mouth of the Fraser River that include Sea Island, most of Lulu Island, and fifteen smaller islands. Cycle along the waterfront trails. Spy on the birds at home in the natural wetlands or pick fresh berries from the farms. Take a glimpse at the second larges Buddhist Temple in North America and visit the historic fishing village of Steveston. For a relaxing break take a stroll through the gardens and ponds surrounding the heritage Minoru Chapel in Minoru Park. Shoppers will delight in the range of goods, from purely western items to those that cater to an Asian market.
 Richmond
is a growing dynamic urban centre with a unique mix of residential, and
commercial property, agricultural lands, industrial parks, waterways and
natural areas. The city provides both residents and visitors alike with
excellent restaurants, shopping centres, unique historic sites, beautiful
parks and gardens, excellent cultural and entertainment facilities as
well as superb recreation facilities.
Fishing trips, boating and whale watching tours are among the uniquely west coast experiences you'll be able to enjoy as well. Whether your pleasure is sports, sightseeing, or shopping, Richmond has something for all.
