"Taiwanese pop music superstar Jay Chou, known in Mandarin as Zhou Jielun
(周杰倫), has put country Victoria’s Sovereign Hill on the map.

Chou’s 25 albums have sold more than 30 million copies, and the music video for
his latest hit, Gold Rush Town (淘金小鎮) was filmed in the open-air museum.

With over 9 million views on YouTube, the video offers a global audience for
both Sovereign Hill and the Chinese Australian experience. "
