Wandering through the old Chinese Settlement in Arrowtown. During the 1870s and 1880s Chinese came to this area because of the goldrush. At one point these was said to be 8000 Chinese living in the settlement in little stone shacks. They made their living on the gold mines and by selling fresh produce grown in their gardens. It's a lovely little walk through the settlement with lots of information boards along the way. by thetrustedtraveller
