Richmond is the gateway to British Columbia, and a vibrant destination of its own. Located just five minutes’ drive from Vancouver International Airport, Richmond is a great alternative to Vancouver.
Visitors to Richmond will find diverse attractions and accommodation: exploring the culture and history of this fascinating city is a multi-cultural experience. With a 60% Asian population, it’s no wonder that visitors often feel like they’ve stepped onto Hong Kong - the night market offers an authentic Asian-shopping experience, the Buddhist temples welcome guests to their tranquil grounds, and the endless number of Chinese restaurants tempt with regional specialities. Away from the heart of downtown, history buffs will delight in historic Steveston fishing village, and nature-types will feel at home with bird watching on the Nature Reserve. Richmond hosts many festivals, including the Cranberry Harvest Festival in the fall and the Sardine Festival in the summer.
A wide range of hotels and conference facilities offers plentiful choices for conventions, as well as for guests flying to Vancouver and planning to stay the night. With a vibrant downtown core, great accessibility and a wide range of attractions and amenities, it is no wonder that Richmond is coming of age as an exciting and diverse destination of its own.
