An early Chinese worker's settlement in Arrow Town, New Zealand, called the Gold Rush, was in the middle of the last century when a European found gold by the Arrow River, and a large number of gold miners poured in to build the town by the Arrow River, and four years later Chinese laborers continued. Come here to join the gold rush and establish independent settlements, which is now the Chinese settlements we see, most of the Chinese workers were alone, adhering to the spirit of Chinese people not afraid of suffering, not afraid of tiredness, and adhering to their nationalities, naturally forming a self-sufficiency. By the 1870s, there were about 5,000 Chinese workers living in the Otago area in southern New Zealand. I thought New Zealand was a natural landscape country looking at the scenery. I didn’t expect that under such a beautiful environment, there was such a pity. The historical remains can't help but feel a lot

Queenstown's Arrow town is home to many Chinese, mostly settled here more than 100 years ago for gold. The Chinese settlements here are communities where Chinese people live together, with many Chinese elements, and the business is very lively. Although it is not like Chinatown, it is worth visiting.

Arrow Town discovered gold in the nineteenth century, so it attracted a large number of gold prospectors, including Chinese workers. This Chinese village is the relic of the gold rush of Chinese laborers. Recorded that period of history. The Museum in Arrow Town also has a lot of history about labor. If you're interested, you might as well spend half a day exploring it.

Under the guidance of the archaeological Department of the University of Otago, the restoration and reconstruction of the original site reproduced the living style of the Chinese gold seekers. This Chinese settlement was just next to the town of Arrow. Now there are people living nearby. But when we enter the site, we feel a little sad. The Chinese people in that time were really hard-working. The houses like that look sad.

These houses were restored and built on the basis of archaeologists'discoveries at the site. The houses were low and dark, and the windows were small. A short road, there have been signs on the way to introduce the Chinese people's living and living conditions here, you can learn a lot about the local history.
