Guan Di Temple

This temple holds the contents of a number of Chinese temples from north-eastern Tasmanian mining towns. As these temples closed their contents were kept, and eventually donated to the people of Launceston.

Guan Di Temple is still a working Joss House and offers a unique window into Chinese religious practice in Tasmania during the 1880s. The collection includes decorated plaques, incense burners and other ceremonial items.
