Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

Very red!
One of the features in our Chinatown is inlaid into the sidewalks, images of animals important in the culture.
Oh that's a bike rack? I saw that when I was up there but I didn't know what it was. I assume the letters must say 'bike rack' in Chinese.
@William - that's a nice feature. As you can see in the bike rack photo, the sidewalks in front of the Chinese Public School are decorated with designs but not as ambitious as in your city.
@JoJo - Yes, it's not really a bike rack so much as a place to chain your bike to - any bike not chained down here is soon stolen. I think the Chinese characters spell something like "Happiness".
