A great history lesson on the Chinese of early Arrowtown. Set up as a lovely walk through the area.

Beautiful Arrowtown was originally a gold mining settlement in the 19th century. The gold rush brought people from many countries seeking wealth and prosperity - among them over 3,500 Chinese settlers. Around 60 lived in Arrowtown. They were to a large extent shunned and marginalised by the Europeans and lived in a small settlement on the edge of town. The settlement has been restored to some extent and a 20-30 minute self-guided walking tour provides an insight into the harsh living conditions they endured.

For me been once dont need to ho again. Maybe as a miners town and tourist attraction have shop owners dress in period clothes. And some locals walking around dressed the same sharing some local knowledge.

Still lovely to see but spoilt by the smell of sausages and toast being cooked by the Cafe right near it. Used to look more authentic.

Good to visit and get educated on the history of early settlement in New Zealand. Clean and well maintained public restrooms. Awesome Cafe to relax and recharge. Most importantly, access route to the popular Macetown tracks for 4x4 enthusiasts. Must visit.

Compared to our first visit 19 years ago, lots have changed. Arrowtown is still lovely and the Chinese village, with information boards, is full of stories. We enjoyed our visit, especially the kids.

Interesting and the plates along the walk were very informative. We were meant to do the other walks around but found ourselves on the main road instead, the set up is a little confusing but other than that it's was good. Wished there is some sort of tour or guide to ask question to.
