Day Spas
A small Chinese-run beauty spa on Hazelbridge Way offering facials and skin treatments in a private room setting. Worth a call if you want a treatment in Mandarin without heading to a large clinic.
Being able to describe a skin problem in your own language changes how a treatment goes. That is not a small detail when you are explaining a reaction, a sensitivity, or exactly what you do and do not want done to your face. It is one reason plenty of people in this city look for a small operator rather than a large clinic. Yuerong-Grace is a small Chinese-run beauty spa on Hazelbridge Way offering facials and skin treatments, with service available in Mandarin.
Hazelbridge Way runs behind the No. 3 Road malls in the Golden Village, a block of towers, office units and plaza space that most visitors never turn onto even though they park within a minute of it. Small service businesses cluster in buildings like these all over Richmond, upstairs and around the back, close to invisible unless you already know they are there. Nobody stumbles across this one while walking past, which is exactly what a directory is for.
Single-room treatment is the other thing to note. It is quieter and more one-to-one than an open salon floor, and it generally means appointments rather than walk-ins, since there is one room and one person running it. Call before going, ask what treatments are offered and what each involves, and describe your skin honestly on the phone. A spa this size can tailor a session in a way a larger clinic often cannot, but only if it knows in advance what it is dealing with.
In the Golden Village neighbourhood of Richmond.

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.
