About Chinatown
Chinatown in Alberta offers a unique blend of rich cultural experiences and vibrant community life, making it an ideal location for international students seeking a homestay. Located just a short distance from Calgary's Central Business District (CBD), Chinatown is easily accessible via public transport. The Calgary Transit system provides efficient bus and CTrain services, allowing you to reach the CBD in approximately 10-15 minutes. This proximity makes it convenient for students attending nearby institutions such as the University of Calgary and Mount Royal University, both of which are just a short commute away.
Beyond its advantageous location, Chinatown is bursting with cultural landmarks and attractions. Students can explore the stunning architecture of the Chinese Cultural Centre, enjoy authentic cuisine at a variety of restaurants, and immerse themselves in the local art scene through galleries and festivals. Additionally, the nearby Bow River pathways offer scenic walking and biking routes, perfect for unwinding after a day of classes. By choosing a homestay in Chinatown, international students not only benefit from a welcoming atmosphere but also gain access to a rich tapestry of cultural experiences that can enhance their educational journey in Canada.
