Home Goods
No. 3 Road showroom in the Golden Village carrying contemporary sofas, dining sets, beds and accent pieces, with sales staff who offer home-staging style advice. Open seven days and central enough for a quick browse.
Measure the room and the doorway before you fall in love with a sectional. Richmond apartment corridors have killed more sofa purchases than budgets ever have, and the tight turn at the top of a stairwell is usually where the trouble starts. That single piece of advice matters more here than it does across most of the region, and it is worth carrying into any furniture showroom in the city.
Home Quarters is a contemporary furnishings showroom on No. 3 Road in the Golden Village, carrying sofas, dining sets, beds and accent pieces. Staff offer home-staging style advice alongside the sale, which is more useful in this city than it might sound elsewhere. A great deal of Richmond housing is apartments and townhouses with awkward proportions: long narrow living rooms, a dining area that is really a corner, a bedroom where only one wall will take a bed.
Having a showroom here saves a trip that most Metro Vancouver furniture shopping demands. The usual options are the big-box warehouses in Burnaby, the design shops in Vancouver, or the outlet strips out in the valley, and every one of those means the tunnel or a bridge on a Saturday. This end of No. 3 Road puts you within a few minutes of Aberdeen, Yaohan and Parker Place instead, so a showroom visit folds into a day that already includes lunch and groceries. Furniture decisions get made by two people at once, and the Golden Village is a far easier place to spend that afternoon than the far side of a bridge.

Family-operated hand wash on No. 3 Road doing full body washes, waxing, paint coating and interior detailing. A long-standing Golden Village option for drivers who prefer hand washing over an automatic tunnel.

A tiny Cantonese barbecue counter in the Superstore plaza on No. 3 Road, long regarded as one of the best in the region. Char siu, crackling-skin roast pork and soy chicken are chopped to order over rice. Small space, quick queue, and it sells out early.

An independent Golden Village shop that pairs its bubble tea with Hong Kong egg waffles and ice cream, so most orders leave with a drink in one hand and a waffle in the other. Afternoon and evening hours only, running later on weekends.

Upscale Cantonese seafood house inside Empire Centre on No. 3 Road. Known for elaborate, modern-looking dim sum, live tank seafood and Peking duck. One of the standard Richmond picks for banquets and big weekend family lunches.

Longer reads from the editor, with the places worth a detour linked inside them.
The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.

Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.

The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
