World Class Attractions<br />
Welcome to the Chinese<br />
Cultural Centre of Australia<br />
Experience a living history of the Chinese people<br />
in <strong>Bendigo</strong> from the goldrush of the 1850s to<br />
the present day at the Golden Dragon Museum,<br />
Victoria’s first accredited museum.<br />
In the 1890s an impressive Imperial dragon<br />
known as Loong was purchased from China<br />
by the local Chinese. He is now the oldest<br />
Imperial Chinese dragon in the world and<br />
is housed at the museum for viewing.<br />
The museum beautifully presents processional<br />
regalia, carved furniture and costumes<br />
embroidered with gold bullion thread.<br />
Artifacts date as far back as the<br />
Shang Dynasty 1600-1046BC.<br />
Located at the entrance to the museum and<br />
part of the Chinese precinct of <strong>Bendigo</strong>, are the Yi<br />
Yuan gardens, the Guan Yin temple and the new<br />
Dai Gum San forecourt.<br />
