Wales is home to people from all over the world.
There have been Chinese communities here since at least the early 1900s. Many of the early settlers were seamen. From the 1940s, changing political conditions and economic opportunities led to an increase in Chinese migration to Wales.
Today, people of Chinese heritage live across the country, creating a vibrant mix of cultures, faiths and languages. There are large, well-established communities in Bangor, Cardiff, Newport and Swansea.
This display has been created in partnership with the Chinese in Wales Association as part of the Our Stories project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. It features the stories of eight multi-generational people of Chinese heritage living in Wales today, told in their own words. Learn about their journeys to Wales, and the challenges they faced in building a new life in a country far from their homelands. The stories show how they, and their descendants, have made their mark on all aspects of Welsh life: through the jobs they worked, the businesses they built, and the contributions they make to our communities and culture.
