Attractions

Get in touch

Situated on the outskirts of Croydon, the Archaeological Chinese Temple Site offers travellers a unique window into the town's multicultural heritage. Established in the late 19th century, this area was once home to a thriving Chinese community drawn by the gold rush.

Today, visitors can explore the remnants of the original temple, stroll along the Chinese Heritage Trail, and view the second-largest pig roasting oven remnants in the southern hemisphere. Informative sandstone plinths along the trail provide insights into the lives of the Chinese settlers who significantly contributed to Croydon's development.

Entry is free, and the site is accessible year-round, making it an enriching addition to any traveller's itinerary.
