Chinese heritage has always been an integral part of Bendigo. From the goldrush to the present day, the Bendigo Chinese community has influenced the proud history of Bendigo – from its traditions of charitable works for local hospitals to its spectacular displays in the Bendigo Easter Fair. Born of the long association with the people of the region‚ the Bendigo Chinese Association is proud to present the Golden Dragon Museum – a living history of the Chinese people of Bendigo from the goldrush of the 1850’s to the present day. Having become the hub of Chinese cultural activity in Australia‚ the museum allows visitors to experience first hand‚ Chinese arts and crafts with visiting artisans and tradespeople. Central to the permanent display is Sun Loong the longest imperial dragon in the world (over 100 metres)‚ Loong the oldest imperial dragon in the world and their accompanying regalia – previously only viewed by visitors to Bendigo’s Easter Fair‚ but now available to the public all year round.
