Chinese Landing is an Indigenous village on the Barama River in Barima-Waini, Region 1. It is part of the wider Moruca community network and appears in the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs list of Indigenous villages.
Community institutions and skills
In July 2023, DPI reported construction of ICT hubs at Chinese Landing, Kariako and Kokerite. The intended uses included education and access to digital services. A February 2025 report also named Chinese Landing among communities participating in mines-ranger training, covering practical navigation, safety and regulations.
These records give a limited introduction to village development without attempting to settle the complex land and mining disputes associated with the community. A basic place profile should not substitute for current legal records or the village’s own account of those matters.
