Kam Wah Chung State Heritage Site

TIME : 2016/2/18 12:03:18

Don't miss this site, located in an 1865 building that served primarily as an apothecary for the noted Chinese herbalist and doctor Ing Hay. But it was also a community center, temple, general store and opium den for the Chinese population that reworked the area's mine tailings. A nearby interpretive center offers a 19-minute video; free tours of the heritage site leave from here.
