Largely residential area but do check out the large Wash park. You’ll find many people jogging, walking, playing, relaxing in the park. There is a boathouse and you can rent a small pedal boat to enjoy the 15 acre lake.

This is hands down the best place for dim sum ( small plates of dumplings or snacks). If you want to experience the traditional dim sum trolly, come on the weekend! Expect a long wait, so get there at 10:30am before they open. This is a local favorite! Try their steamed bbq pork buns, custard tarts, scallop or shrimp dumplings, sesame balls, and many more.
