Central California Chinese Cultural Center – Visalia, California

The Gold Rush brought many immigrants from China to work as laborers on many important projects. The history of these times would have been forgotten with time if the Chinese Cultural Center had not been built. The history of these 19^th Century immigrants is preserved for all to learn from in the Chinese Cultural Center.

The center was built with private donations and aid from the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of China, the center includes a Confucian temple and an exposition room housing cultural artifacts, paintings and rare architectural finds.

This outstanding example of dedication to these brave people is located in a building with graceful sweep on the roof to the magnificent jade lions guarding the entrance, every detail is truly Chinese.
