Past the Canadian Pacific Railway Terminal building where the first CPR train steamed in 1887, lies Gastown, Vancouver's birthplace. Renovated 19th century brick buildings, mews, courtyards and passages host shops filled with the good, the bad, and the tacky. Gastown was levelled by fire in 1886 but rose again as a commercial area. Now, the warehouses and shops have been converted to boutiques and restaurants and the turn-of-the-century atmosphere attracts thousands of visitors by day and cabaret patrons by night.
