This is the Umbrellatorium & Canery in #FanTanAlley. Love that store and the name 😀

Fan Tan Alley, Victoria, BC on a rainy December evening

A couple walks down a colourful narrow alley lined with tiny shops, whose signs reach almost across the gap. All lit by red Christmas lights criss-crossing above.

The address 23 1/2 Fan Tan Alley reminds me of something out of Harry Potter. I'd love a translation of the characters on the door if anyone can help. It used to be the location of a photographers studio at one time.

Today’s “Cats From Around the World” is in my hometown, Victoria BC. #yyj #cats #fantanalley

Long haired calico cat sits facing the camera. The background is Victoria’s famous Fan Tan Alley, Canada’s narrowest street.

Happy Lunar New Year from Fan Tan Alley in Canada’s Oldest Chinatown. The Year of the Snake is all about transformation, planning and strategy. Wishing you a healthy and prosperous year! #FanTanAlley #yearofthesnake

I love alleys. They always seem to me to bear witness to ‘real life’ better than a street front.

#FanTanAlley in Victoria, BC is one of my enduring favourites.

No trip to Victoria, BC is complete without a visit to Fan Tan Alley (imho). Left my mom in the Store Street Value Village and wandered around Canada’s oldest intact Chinatown with my dad & kiddo. Wished the museum was open, but enjoyed ourselves nonetheless!
