Chineside is a community in New Westminster Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Chineside is located at 49.2667°N, 122.8333°W.
Chineside rests where the Fraser River’s broad, silty waters begin their final, determined push towards the sea. It lies 20.4 km east of Vancouver, BC (from Vancouver, BC: bearing 88°T), and is situated 10.5 km east-north-east of Burnaby. Low-lying and fertile, the land here is a mosaic of reclaimed marsh and gently sloping banks, cradling a network of sloughs and backwaters that reflect the sky in shifting, ochre-toned mirrors. The air, particularly in the early mornings, carries a damp, earthy scent, mingling with the faint, salty tang of the distant ocean and the sweet perfume of ripening fruit in summer. Mature trees, some with bark like weathered leather, stand sentinel along the river's edge, their roots grasping deep into the alluvial soil, while beyond them, the land opens into fields that hum with the quiet industry of cultivation. For generations, this stretch of the Fraser has been a place of both bounty and passage, its rich agricultural potential first recognized by Indigenous peoples and later by early settlers drawn to its fertile promise. The legacy of that agricultural past is still evident in the orchards and market gardens that dot the landscape, their seasonal offerings a vibrant counterpoint to the steady flow of barges and cargo ships navigating the river. The area's development has always been intrinsically tied to the waterway, serving as a vital hub for trade and transportation, a role that continues to shape the character and economy of Chineside, where the pulse of commerce beats in time with the river’s ancient, unceasing rhythm.
