Bendigo Joss House Temple
Heritage-listed Chinese temple in north Bendigo with gold-rush cultural history and weekend visitor hours.
Details
Bendigo Region describes Bendigo Joss House Temple as a heritage-listed Chinese place of worship that opened in 1871. The listing says it helps visitors understand Chinese beliefs and the story of Chinese people who came to Bendigo during the gold rush, and notes the red locally made brick building as a significant part of Bendigo's cultural history. Entry is by donation on arrival, with listed weekend opening from 10.30am to 3pm and last entry at 2.30pm, so it works best as a planned heritage stop rather than an always-open walk-by attraction.
