From cheap ceramic dishes, to those weird undergarments that have the unpleasant texture of dull sandpaper, to questionable dongles, to racks of unheard of Chinese pop star's bootlegged CDs, to all kinds of kitchen items -- this upstairs "market" is ballin'. Plan on spending more than a dollar for most sellable wares, but it's worth every penny for the sheer experience of shopping in a tiny bit of China right here in Vancouver.

Garlic crushers, cheap wallets, ICE CUBE TRAYS!, table top bells (for prompt service!), Chinese monopoly, Rugrats bobbleheads and many other assorted oddities, along with the usual household supplies. The owners are nice and somewhat eccentric and the store and mall are usually creepily silent. So whenever you're absolutely stuck trying to find some household tool, and looking for some serious weirdness, come here.

Definitely a go to spot when you are visiting Vancouver!

Granville Island Public Market is one of those classic Vancouver experiences that pretty much…read moreeveryone tells you to do--and now I get why. The market sits on Granville Island, which used to be an industrial area before being transformed in the 1970s into a cultural and food hub. Getting there is part of the fun: you can take a quick water taxi across False Creek, drive, or grab a regular taxi. We went the easy route and arrived by car, but I'd love to try the water bus next time for the full experience. We got there later in the evening on a Sunday, so they closed early and time was limited. Before I even stepped inside, I spotted a vendor making maple candy--the kind that is poured onto ice and rolled up o to a stick. Highly recommend giving this very Canadian treat a try! Inside, it's exactly what you hope for: a lively space packed with vendors--produce, baked goods, prepared foods, local specialties. I had a short must-try list, starting with Lee's Donuts, Siegel's Bagels, and a hunt for Nanaimo bars, the iconic no-bake Canadian dessert named after the city of Nanaimo in British Columbia. Even with little time, it was fun weaving through the stalls and admiring all the products. Since we were visiting during the holidays, there were extra vendors selling arts, crafts, and locally made sweets, which made the whole place feel even more festive. We picked up bottles of maple syrup to bring home as gifts and also tried a few canelés. After we enjoyed our dinner, I stepped outside and took a moment to soak in the view--city lights reflecting on the water, the bridge glowing in the distance, everything calm and picturesque. It was a quiet contrast to the busy market inside and ended the visit on a really peaceful note. Definitely take in the view if you have a minute! Even though we didn't have as much time as I would have liked, it was still a great experience. Granville Island Public Market absolutely lives up to its "must-do" reputation.

The seller is extremely pushy, however, this is not uncommon in the market place. I was able to stand my grand slightly. I did end up buying something on another run which was a cool sno globe like kids watch but since she was pushy I bartered with her out of passive aggressiveness.
