Best black truffle, shrimp, and pork dumpling I've ever had. I ordered shrimp and matsutake dumpling, Steamed bun filled with salty egg yolk lava, and Xiaolong Bao. They are really flavorful and delicious, especially the steamed bun with salty egg yolk lava. Once you take a bite the egg yolk lava melts into your mouth, giving a salty flavor yet sweet. So yummy! I highly recommend getting the black truffle dumpling and the steamed bun! Quite pricey for the small portion, but it's worth giving it a try!

The wait time could take more than an hour, so I'd recommend making a reservation ahead of time. A must try dim sum place in Richmond!

I have been to many beautiful gardens and I'd say the Butchart Garden leaves a unique impression. The gardens are divided into different areas, each area has its own theme, such as Italian, Japanese, Sunken, and Rose. I love the natural ecosystem that is created by the garden, such as the pollination process between bees and flowers. The background of each garden is also well documented, which is great if you are interested in how the garden was built.

The garden is well designed and accessible for everyone, which makes convenient for me to bring my infant. It's also a good place to bring your dog! There are food courts where you can sit and relax, while enjoying the view of the garden. I would highly recommend this place if you visit Victoria!

The staff is very friendly and helpful! I got there around 10:30 am and the line to purchase the pass was already long. There were only 2 counters, so the wait time was ridiculously long. I'd recommend prepurchase the pass before, so that you get priority service.
