Vancouver, jewel of the Pacific Northwest, offers something for everyone. From hiking trails to gourmet restaurants, this city is an eclectic collection of treasures and cultures. We recommend an Asian-themed weekend for your getaway in Vancouver:

Stay at Vancouver's tallest building, the Shangri-La hotel, during their "Spring in the City" special, which includes breakfast for two at the acclaimed MARKET by Jean-Georges. Later, indulge in a Yin Yang Harmonizing Massage at the in-house CHI spa.

Trek through Canada's largest Chinatown with Edible BC, for a chef-guided tour through the rich culture, textures and history of the area. These culinary mavens reveal the secrets of dried seafood stalls, the benefits of ginseng, and where to find the best Peking duck.

End the tour off right by indulging in some dim sum. Enjoy the exotic scents wafting from the steaming bamboo trays brought to your table. Sample a fresh coconut bun from a Chinatown staple: New Town Bakery.

Get glam and escape to 1930's Shanghai at Bao Bei Chinois Brasserie. Sip on a ChinoMargarita while snacking on traditional Chinese cuisine with a modern twist.

Stroll under the red lanterns of Richmond Night Market. Take in the exciting sights, sounds and smells from the thousands of food and trinket stalls straight from the Orient.
