1 Oroville
This journey begins in
Oroville, a little town that
shares a name with the
nearby lake that’s filled
by the Feather River.
There’s not much to see in
Oroville, save the stunning
Chinese Temple (%530-
538-2496; 1500 Broderick St;
adult/child $2/free; hnoon-
4pm), a quiet monument to
the 10,000 Chinese people
who once lived here.
During the 19th century,
theater troupes from
China toured a circuit of
Chinatowns in California
and Oroville was the end
