(Buckingham St; 24hr) Arrowtown has NZ's best example of a gold-era Chinese set-
tlement. Interpretive signs explain the lives of Chinese diggers during and after the gold
rush (the last resident died in 1932), while restored huts and shops make the story more
tangible. Subjected to significant racism, the Chinese often had little choice but to rework
old tailings rather than seek new claims.
