The temple is full of exhibits including clothing and artifacts of the beginning of Chinese settlement in the area.

I always take may guest to the temple. It is great and son beautiful inside. People come from China to look at our temple. I have to go back this week I read in the paper about a new addition to the temple.

This is an unusual museum with a glimpse into Oroville's more interesting past. I can't recommend Oroville as a destination now, but if you find that you need respite from a drive on the way somewhere else, I highly recommend stopping by.

We were extremely pleased with the way the Temple has be kept up thru the years and the history was just awesome not only for the grandchildren to read about but for the adults.

We accidentally discovered this temple and museum in Oroville while driving down the 70 from Chico. It is a little hidden gem with a Temple, a museum of local Chinese immigrant history and a small garden. There is an excellent display of Chinese puppets and fabrics that children would love and it is small enough to avoid them getting bored.... More
