Established in 1871, this temple is an important part of Bendigo's Chinese history, which dates back to the gold-rush days. Painted red, the traditional colour of strength, this is the only practising joss house in central Victoria. It's 2km northwest of the city centre.

Discounts are available for packages combining the temple, the talking tram and Central Deborah Gold Mine.
