Oroville Chinese Temple, Chinese temple in Oroville, United States.

The Oroville Chinese Temple is a Chinese place of worship in California with three main areas: the Chan Room for Confucian meditation, the Moon Temple for Buddhist practices, and a Council Room for gatherings. The structure combines religious and cultural functions within one building.

The temple was built in 1863 using red bricks from Palermo, California, replacing two earlier wooden structures lost to fires during the Gold Rush period. The move to stone and brick construction reflected the need to protect the community from the fires that threatened the region.

The temple's name, Liet Sheng Kong, means "Temple of Many Gods and Goddesses," and visitors may worship any deity there. The Chan Room honours General Chan Low Kwan of the Song Dynasty, called the "Viscount of Purification," and a teak bridal sedan chair of imperial-palace quality stands inside. The Council Room holds a carved wood screen overlaid with gold leaf and two procession shrines carried in festival parades.

The temple sits in downtown Oroville and works as both an active place of worship and a museum with guided tours for visitors. Guided tours are the best way to explore the rooms and collections while learning more about the Chinese community of the area.

The Moon Temple section has a round doorway and displays statues showing Buddhist principles, with red decorations throughout that symbolize good fortune. This design choice was typical in Chinese temples and shaped how visitors experienced the space spiritually.
