Sovereign Hill, Ballarat

This is Sovereign Hill, Ballarat. In the olden days, this is where Victoria, Melbourne got their riches from. This is a real place in Melbourne where the people use to mine for gold. Now, after centuries, the gold has all been mined and they convert it to a tourist place.

As they say, whenever there is gold, there is Chinese. So they build a temple before anything.
