VanPeople.com is a comprehensive Chinese‑language community platform based in Greater Vancouver. Founded in 2008 by VanPeople Network Ltd. (headquartered in Burnaby, BC), it offers local news, classifieds (housing, vehicles, goods), job listings, immigration & study-abroad guides, lifestyle stories, food, travel, auto, education and more.

Its mobile app launched in 2015 on iOS and Android—with over 60,000 downloads and 200,000+ users—serves both newcomers and established residents by making the site’s content accessible on smartphones.

The platform also integrates WeChat and Weibo channels, reaching around 500,000+ local Chinese users across Greater Vancouver.

Features include job postings, housing rentals, market for buying/selling, community discussions, immigration/study resources, food & travel tips, and more.

Although VanPeople caters primarily to Vancouver-area users, its content occasionally addresses broader Canadian topics.
