The Chinese Temple and Museum are worth a look. The Museum is a fascinating glimpse into Darwin's rich Chinese heritage, the temple is fascinating and in the grounds, there is a bodhi tree which is said to be a descendant of the tree where Buddha rested and gained enlightenment.

Darwin is a cosmopolitan city, with a substantial Chinese population that at one point (the 1870s) even outnumbered its European population. “Coolies” were contracted to work in the goldfields and build railways; by the end of the 19th century, the Chinese population of the Territory was approximately six thousand. Currently, the Chinese population of Darwin sits at around 3,500 people, and Chinese Temple and Museum Chung Wah is one of the thriving focal points of the community. The museum documents the history of the Chinese population of the Territory over more than a century, and the beautiful temple (originally built in 1887) is used daily as a place of worship. It’s especially exciting to visit the temple during events, and during Chinese New Year you’ll also see lion dancers around the city as they bless more than 400 businesses and homes.
