From big shopping malls in the Golden Village and City Centre districts to boutique shopping in the historic fishing village of Steveston, Richmond offers a delightful diversity of options for shoppers.
Richmond's malls are an easy 20-minute ride away from downtown Vancouver, thanks to the Aberdeen, Brighouse and Lansdowne stations on the new Canada Line rapid transit link.
Asian-Themed Malls in the Golden Village
The Golden Village is an Asian-focused shopping and dining district that covers a four-block radius mostly centred on No. 3 Road, just west of Highway 99. Three major destinations for shoppers are Aberdeen Centre, Parker Place, and Yaohan Centre.
At the three-storey Aberdeen Centre (4151 Hazelbridge Way), there are more than 160 stores to visit. This was the largest enclosed, Asian-themed shopping mall in North America when it opened in the early 1990s. Today, the anchor tenant is The Daiso, which carries more than 50,000 products (tableware, clothes, cosmetics, garden tools, and so on), mostly Japanese-made and priced at $2 apiece. The 800-seat food court serves up noodles, BBQ dishes, and desserts from China, Japan, and Korea. The mall's central atrium features music-synchronized fountain shows.

Celebrating its 15th anniversary in 2009, the nearby Yaohan Centre (3700 No. 3 Rd.) has more than 80 stores, stocking Chinese-language books and games, Asian health and beauty products, and traditional arts and crafts. Everything from bubble tea to roast duck can be savoured at the mall food court.
Founded in 1993, Parker Place (4380 No. 3 Rd.) is another bustling, Asian-themed shopping mall with 150-plus outlets. Numerous clothing boutiques showcase the latest Hong Kong fashions, and specialty stores stock tea, health food, and jewelry items that are hard to find elsewhere in Canada. A gold-plated Four-Faced Buddha is a popular subject for photos.
Shopping in the City Centre
Just south of the Golden Village lie two more major shopping malls, featuring mainstream Western shopping options.
Richmond Centre (6551 No. 3 Rd.) includes more stores than any other Richmond mall, with close to 250 shops. Tenants include some of Canada's biggest department stores, sporting goods retailers, drugstores and electronics outlets.
The 130-plus outlet Lansdowne Centre (5300 No. 3 Rd.) has brand-name homewares and electronic stores, ladies fashions and shoes, specialty food shopping, and more. Its Centre Court often plays host to events such as children's art shows and local photo club exhibitions.
Stores in Steveston
This picturesque village in southwest Richmond was originally known as a salmon canning centre. But today, visitors can also reel in some nice deals at local boutiques or pick up some fresh fish right off the boats in the harbour.
Check out the tempting goodies at the village boutiques, such as charming home accessories, crafty toys, handy garden tools, quirky T-shirts and trendy fashion. Or, if you’re looking for a truly one-of-a-kind idea, head to the Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market for gorgeous handcrafted gifts.
Richmond Night Markets
The Richmond Night Market and the Summer Night Market are popular open-air attractions in this community. The markets include hundreds of merchants and Asian food vendors and stalls selling DVDs, clothes, handbags, glassware, and much more, often at bargain prices. Live music and dancing spice up the proceedings, from Asian dragon dances to Peruvian flutists. It's considered a magnet for family fun in this community.
