Restored huts from the Chinese gold mining era. Walk among the old village and read about the history, living conditions and personalities that lived here at the turn of last century. Lots of information panels in Chinese and English.

Its a great reconstruction of the Chinese settlement with miners huts and great guides to read to get you into the history.

One golden village, two tales. The picturesque preservation of two very different goldrush communities – Chinese and European – in a town that still thrives. A visit to this thriving picture-postcard tourist town enables visitors to view both sides of the gold-rush coin: the preserved avenue where wealthy banks and merchants traded in the mid-1800s, and the restored huts on the edge of town that reveal the more modest lifestyles of the Chinese miners.
