Arrowtown Chinese Settlement

The Arrowtown Chinese Settlement is a historic village located in Arrowtown, New Zealand and set up by Chinese people during the Otago Gold Rush of the 1860s. The settlement is sometimes referred to as a village and has been restored and is now a common tourist attraction. It is close to Arrowtown on the banks of Bush Creek which is a tributary of the Arrow River.

Ah Lum is a well known example of the Chinese miners who lived in the area.
