Oroville had a sizable Chinese population during the 1800s. Most of the Chinese left the city after a flood in 1907 destroyed many of their homes and ruined their property. The Emperor and Empress of China provided the money to build this structure which houses three temples.
The site is partly accessible. Three of the temple rooms have a threshold with a step up and back down. Wheelchair visitors can view the these rooms from the doorways. One temple can only be accessed by a flight of stairs. The gift shop/admissions building, garden, museum rooms and Fong Lee Company Building reconstruction are all accessible.
Parking is available across the street from the museum. Large RVs may have to be parked on the side streets. Museum
