I said "directly" but specifically that would be from, say, in front of Richmond Centre (Cook Rd.) to just past Yaohan (Capstan Way).

It's a touristy terminology invented to draw people to the area when they come into town as a Chinatown... which is kinda redundant since all of Richmond pretty much is........... but historically speaking, when the invasion began in the mid 1980's #3 Road was where ALL the asian immigrants flocked too to start businesses and buy up development areas... Richmond was pretty segmented back then, all the white people lived west of #3 Road, all the asian people lived on #3 Road (the whole stretch) and all the East Indian people (there used to be a way higher concentration of E.I. in Richmond than there is now) lived east of #4 Road...
