More Information
Details: The Temple of the Forest Beneath the Clouds is the oldest continuously used Chinese temple in California. On display are art objects, pictures, mining tools, and weapons used in the 1854 Tong War. This Taoist temple is still a place of worship and a fascinating look into the role played by Chinese immigrants in early California history. The temple was built in 1874 as a replacement for another that had burned. In 1956 the state took over operation and restoration efforts.<br><br><b>Directions:</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;The temple is located in the heart of Weaverville, a small community near the Trinity Alps on Highway 299 about fifty miles west of Redding and about 105 miles east of Eureka.
