CBC Vancouver is highlighting different parts of the Metro Vancouver region as part of the search for Metro Vancouver's best neighbourhood. Almost 20 years later, Hanin Village, along with another plaza called Koreatown across the street, have become a vibrant cultural hub in Burquitlam for Korean-Canadians living and working in the Tri-Cities and beyond. Now, the two plazas known as Hanin Village and Koreatown are the epicentre for Korean restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores, and karaoke places in Metro Vancouver. As the search for Metro Vancouver's best neighbourhood continues, Steve Kim says the neighbourhood should be a contender because it is "definitive of diversity and inclusion."
