Due to the construction of the nearby Southern Pacific Railroad extension, Hanford was settled by many Chinese immigrants who came to work on the tracks.As a result, the remains of the fantastic Chinatown district, China Alley, is an interesting historical area with many notable buildings. Constructed in the 19th century, it is packed with authentic Chinese restaurants and unique architecture.Amongst its most important sites is the 19th century Taoist temple, now serving as a small museum. Many traveling migrants passed through the temple, which was also a boarding house once. You can find about how these migrants lived and struggled with the difficult experience of integration from the excellent documents and exhibits.

Delightful experience! Guided tour was close to a mini-history lesson. We will definitely remember this as an enriching moment, and are thankful for the opportunity!

Beautiful

Visited here years ago when the restaurant still was in business. Had a wonderful private tour, but those pics are lost forever.People can donate to preserve this small Chinatown area.

We got a great spontaneous out of towner tour.

Finally after 20 something years of wanting to go, my wife and I finally got to see inside. So much great history and artifacts.

The hours are wrong. Theyve never been open any of the times Ive stopped by.
