Oroville Chinese Temple, Chinese temple in Oroville, United States.
The Oroville Chinese Temple features three main sections including the Chan Room for Confucian meditation, Moon Temple for Buddhist rites, and Council Room for gatherings.
Built in 1863 with red bricks from Palermo, California, this temple replaced two previous wooden structures that succumbed to fires during the Gold Rush period.
The temple houses collections of Chinese and American costumes dating from 1850 to 1930, illustrating the fashion changes between these two distinct societies.
Located in central Oroville, the temple functions as both an active religious site and a museum, offering guided tours for visitors interested in Chinese heritage.
The Moon Temple section contains a circular doorway and displays statues representing Buddhist principles, with red decorations symbolizing fortune throughout the space.
