Mall

By the number of retailers, it is the largest Asian mall in Western Canada with more than 200 stores. Despite the number of stores, operation hours are not standardized which may create inconvenience for the shoppers. The largest Asian mall by square feet is the Aberdeen Centre in Richmond, British Columbia. Crystal Mall also has a food fair with more than 20 food vendors which often offer cheap lunch or dinner combinations with average price being less than five dollars. There are several popular bubble tea shops as well. The mall also has a traditional Chinese open market. The mall has 950 parking stalls in its 4-level underground parking, although a small section is reserved for hotel customers only. The underground parking is constructed in a circular direction just like the mall itself. The parking lot is regularly patrolled. However, skytrain commuters usually park on level four.
Occasionally, the mall will host events such as for Christmas, New Years, Chinese New Years, or a contest called Crystal Cover Girl.
