Fan Tan Alley by Jay King - Banjo/Field Recordings published on 2018-07-28T21:19:45Z This was recorded in and around Fan Tan Alley which is located in Chinatown in Victoria, BC. It was named after the Chinese gambling game Fan-Tan. Back in the day it was a gambling district complete with opium dens. Today it contains many small shops and restaurants. It is the narrowest street in Canada. At its narrowest point it is only 0.9 metres (35 inches) wide. It is now protected as a heritage spot by the government. I recorded on a Sunday afternoon with the sound of tourism in full swing. I initially sat at the entrance to the alley for a bit and then proceeded to walk down through it.
