With over 150 Chinese-Asian shops, business-education-professional-health services all next to Metrotown's HILTON HOTEL on the west side of the mall - and - on the south-west corner of the mall you have the hi-rise residential condominium tower - The Crystal - is virtually a city within a city.
The sample signage above shows some of the variety of services available: from fresh vegetables, organics, bakeries, to cellphones, from key cutting and luggage repair services to a large assortment of fast food outlets in the Asian Food Court or choose among a number of restaurants in the complex (featuring Cantonese, Szechwan, curry, Japanese, Korean, Bubble tea and coffee shops etc.). If you're looking for a air-conditioner, portable heater, Chinese herbs, dentists, after school tutorial services for the kids, hair salons, gift-shops, computer services/software - this is one of the largest concentrations of these goods and services in the Greater Vancouver Area.
The Crystal mall also regularly hosts-sponsors live talent-show contests and performances, see sample performances page.
Features of The Crystal Mall Include:
- Central location on the corner of Willingdon Ave. and Kingsway on its North-West corner;
immediately west of the SAVE ON FOODS and Station Square Mall, and
to the immediate North of Burnaby's Civic Square which is part of the MetroTown Branch of the Burnaby Library.
This makes this mall central to the Greater Vancouver area -- not surprisingly the GVRD (Greater Vancovuer Regional District) has its administrative offices just a few blocks away.- see the MetroTown area map for details of how this mall is located in relationship with the other malls in the immediate area, i.e.. Old Orchard Mall; Metropolis at Metrotown Mall, the Metrotown Centre Mall and Station Square Mall
- Hilton Hotel and Convention Centre (probably the largest
hotel & convention service in the MetroTown area) opens right into the mall's shopping areas and
large Asian Food Court
- If you're at the Hilton - you also have the option of are more western style restaurants and fast food outlets across the street at Station Square Mall, e.g. A & W Burgers, Boston Pizza, and restaurants on Kingsway itself.
- Out-of-town visitors should note the proximity of Central Park, the Silver City Theatre Complex, the 24 hour Shoppers Drug Mart in the OLD ORCHARD mall and of course the convenience of Sky Train and bus loop transportation connections to downtown Vancouver or various suburbs of the Greater Vancouver area.
- Fresh Produce Market with assorted fresh fruits and vegetables, a number of Chinese bakeries,
Barbecued meats, herbalist stores, and one of several Chinese preserved-candied fruits specialty
stores. The market is certainly handy for residents of the residential tower that is part
of THE CRYSTAL complex, as well as the large cluster of hi-rise condominiums
surrounding the Metrotown malls area.
