But I still think Vancouver is the obvious answer. It may lack Asian diversity but the comparable % is massive. And Han Chinese are the ascendant dominant culture in the city, analagous to Cubans in Miami 20 years ago. NYC and LA will probably never be Asian-dominated cities like Vancouver.

Yeah, because of Vancouver's lack of diversity (ironically including Asian) it might make it from a visual appearance to be the
most directly connected to Asia/Asians, but of course there are plenty of other variables to be considered.
Additionally, yeah, cities like NY and LA with much broader diversity make it difficult to discern any particular "connection" to a region, culture, custom, continent.
