Ballarat Heritage Weekend

Chinese Heritage Trail

The Ballarat Chinese Heritage Trail provides an understanding of Chinese sites in Ballarat in the 19th century. The walk encompasses some original sites, including the old and new cemeteries and contemporary sites such as Sovereign Hill (in particular the Chinese Village and Joss House).

Visits to these sites offer an appreciation of some aspects of the Chinese community in Ballarat during the gold rush and into the late 19th century. You can pick up your tour brochure at the Mining Exchange.
