The Bendigo Joss House Temple provides tangible evidence relating to the migration of the Chinese to Bendigo during the gold rush.

A visit to the Bendigo Joss House Temple will provide an authentic reminder of how the Chinese overcame discrimination and built their lives, practiced their religious beliefs and ultimately made an essential contribution to the whole community through their industrious, disciplined and generous nature.
