Bendigo Chinese Joss House (Dai Gum San) 
 Finn St, Bendigo
One of the oldest Joss Houses still in use in Australia , the Bendigo Chinese Joss House was constructed to worship the god Kwan Gung.
Kwan Gung was a Chinese general (AD 221-26) and the gold rush miners worshipped him as a judge, guide and protector.
The temple was constructed of timber and hand made bricks during the 1860's by the local Chinese, who were plentiful on the goldfields around Bendigo.
The Joss House is divided into three sections - the caretaker's residence, the major temple and the ancestral hall.
