Wing Hing Long Museum

Wing Hing Long Museum, located at 10 Ruby Street in Tingha, NSW, is a preserved general store that offers a unique glimpse into the town's rich history. Established in 1881 by Chinese storekeeper Ah Lin, the store served the local community, including the significant Chinese mining population, until its closure in 1998. Today, it operates as a living museum, showcasing original fittings, merchandise, and archival materials that reflect the daily life and commerce of early 20th-century rural Australia. Visitors can explore the store's diverse collections, including groceries, hardware, and Chinese goods, providing insight into the cultural and economic contributions of Chinese-Australians to the region. The museum is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, with additional hours available by appointment for tour groups.
