Step into the story of Dai Gum San or “Big Gold Mountain” on this immersive 3-hour journey through Bendigo’s Chinese heritage. Travel in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle with short, easy walks at each stop as you explore authentic gold-rush sites, sacred resting grounds, and living community landmarks that tell the story of Bendigo’s earliest Chinese pioneers.

Walk among the Chinese Diggings at White Hills, one of Bendigo’s few remaining goldfield sites, and try your hand at panning for real gold on the historic diggings. Visit the historic Chinese Cemetery, a peaceful landscape of carved headstones and symbolic offerings that honour the lives, hopes, and journeys of those who came seeking fortune and found belonging.

Experience PepperGreen Farm, a vibrant social enterprise built on the site of the original Chinese market gardens. Wander through the thriving gardens and enjoy a delicious morning tea featuring fresh local produce and home-baked scones.

Your journey continues to the Golden Dragon Museum and Yi Yuan Gardens, where stunning artefacts, photographs and processional regalia celebrate Bendigo’s Chinese community — including Dai Gum Loong, the world’s longest Imperial Dragon. Enjoy a peaceful stroll through the adjoining ornamental gardens and reflect on the lasting legacy of the Chinese who helped shape Bendigo’s identity and culture.

Guided by a passionate local storyteller, this tour offers a rare opportunity to experience the courage, resilience, and contribution of a community that helped define one of the world’s great gold rush cities.
