Arrowtown is charming and quirky – a delightful gold rush village nestled below the beautiful peaks that surround the sparkling Arrow River.

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.

Visit the Arrowtown Chinese Settlement, New Zealand
Take a walk through the famous old gold mining Arrowtown Chinese Settlement, Arrowtown, New Zealand. Filmed on 20 January 2011.
Arrowtown Chinese Settlement - New Zealand
Arrowtown Chinese Settlement is a recreation (some of it is original and restored) of the Chinese-occupied part of this 19th century gold mining town. Unknown to many people, the Gold Rush brought people from many countries to the Otago region, in search of their fortunes, and according to the 1874 Census, there were over 3,500 Chinese workers in the region at that time. Here in Arrowtown, there were around 60 Chinese, who were marginalised and kept separate from the European settlers. Even when they died, they were kept apart from everyone else, in either their own section of the small cemetery, or in unmarked graves outside the cemetery walls. The Chinese lived on the outskirts of Arrowtown, in a collection of crude huts, which had a social hut at its centre (now destroyed), plus a couple of supply/grocery stores and some gardens so, in effect, it was their own self-sufficient community.

A busy weekend of steamships, panning for gold, chinese dragons and beard growing
It was hard to decide where to be this Labour weekend in Queenstown with all the different community events celebrating the regions rich heritage. We celebrated the TSS Earnslaw steamship also affectionately known as the Lady of the Lake's 100th birthday. We joined record crowds in Arrowtown to watch the local Arrowtown community stage a reenactment of the 1862 gold rush then wandered along to see the official opening of new translated signage in the historic Chinese village to the beat of the the chinese dragon's drums and the pop of fireworks. Then on Monday it was up the lake to Glenorchy for the 150 years of settlement celebrations and the winner of the beard growing competition.
