Swaying 230 feet above the Capilano River, the plank and cable bridge stretches 450 feet from one side to the other. Other attractions at the park include the world's largest privately owned collection of totem poles, totem carving demonstrations, hiking trails, two restaurants and a gift shop. |

Sam Kee Building |

8 W Pender St Chinatown, Vancouver V6B 1R5

Description:
In the early 20th century, the Sam Kee Company was one of Chinatown's wealthiest enterprises. This extremely narrow, steel-framed building was designed in 1913 as Sam Kee's rebellious response to the city's expropriating 24 feet of his original lot for street-widening without compensating him. The store is less than six feet deep. Large bay windows help make the most of space that once housed public baths, offices, shops and living quarters. |

Opened on August 13, 1977 by Neil Armstrong, who left behind his footprint in the concrete, the tower is Vancouver's tallest at 581 feet.
