Yiu Ming Temple, Chinese temple in Alexandria, Sydney, Australia

The Yiu Ming Temple stands at Retreat Street with red-faced brick walls, traditional timber fittings, and a roof lantern for incense and oil burning.

The temple emerged from the Yiu-Ming Hung Fook Tong community in the 1870s, relocating from Arncliffe to its current location between 1908 and 1909.

The temple functions as a center for Sydney's Chinese community, maintaining traditions through festivals and serving as a place of worship for over 10,000 members.

Following extensive restoration after a 1996 fire, the temple reopened in 1999 and received designation on the New South Wales State Heritage Register.

Members of the temple society have invested over 10 million RMB in infrastructure projects in Gaoyao, Guangdong, including schools and medical facilities.
