"The Temple of the East 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. The temple was built in 1874 as a replacement for another that had burned. In 1956 the state took over operation and restoration efforts.

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. Weaver Creek runs nearby. Adjacent attractions include J.J. Jackson Museum and History Center and Trinity County Historical Park.
