Richmond BC is located on Canadian Pacific Coast. Richmond is a unique island city, ideally located within the Metro Vancouver close proximity to both downtown Vancouver and the U.S. border. Richmond provides close access to Vancouver International Airport, the Gateway to the Pacific Rim and North America. Twenty minutes to the south is the BC Ferries Terminal at Tsawwassen and the Canada/US border at Douglas is only a 30-minute drive away. It is comprised of a series of islands in the mouth of the Fraser River. Located just a 20-minute drive south of downtown Vancouver, Richmond islands in the mouth of the Fraser River are packed with things to do. Richmond population is about 60 percent Asian, and that's reflected in its mouth watering selection of about 400 Asian restaurants. Affordably priced Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Malaysian dishes abound.
