This two-storeyed temple in China Town is representative of the Chinese culture in the city. Built in 1905, the first floor is stunning and hosts the deities. You can’t go into the main shrine area but you can still take a look at a set of weapons, and images and statues of Chinese gods and goddesses that the temple houses. Take a peak at the ground floor social club where you can find copies of Kolkata’s weekly Chinese newspaper (the only one in India) and members of the community enjoying themselves.

Where: Tiretta Bazaar

When: It’s open all days

Pro Tip: If you have a local friend who can take you on a guided tour, there’s nothing like it!
