Guan Di Temple
QVMAG Royal Park:
This temple, formally known as the Joss House, 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.
It is still a working temple, and is a unique window on Chinese religious practice in Tasmania in the 1880s. The significant collection includes decorated plaques, incense burners and other ceremonial items.
