Dim sum lunches or a late-night steaming bowl of noodles await you just steps from Waterfront. Calgary’s Chinatown is the second largest in Canada and boasts the iconic blue-roofed Chinese Cultural Centre modeled after the Temple in Heaven in Beijing. Chinatown shopkeepers ensure the freshest of produce, meat and seafood as well as staples for creating your own stir-fries at home. And with convenient takeout so close to home, you may be tempted not to cook at all!
Stroll east on the River Pathway and you’ll reach Sien Lok Park on Waterfront’s eastern edge. Embodying the motto behind the name Sien Lok that “happiness comes through good works” the Society, in cooperation with the community continue to preserve and improve this lone green space in Chinatown. As residents of Waterfront, you have the benefit of this neighbouring serene park and an unimpeded view to the Centre Street Bridge.
