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

Yiu Ming Temple is a Chinese temple in Alexandria featuring red brick walls and traditional timber fixtures throughout its interior. The structure includes a distinctive roof lantern designed for burning incense and oil as part of its religious purpose.

The Yiu Ming Hung Fook Tong community, from Gaoyao and Gaoming in Guangdong, first built a temple in Arncliffe in 1870. It proved too small, so funds raised from 1904 bought land in Alexandria, where the Hung Sheng Gong was built in 1908–1909 with interior work in 1917. A December 1996 fire was quickly put out; restoration with community artisans and Powerhouse Museum staff followed in 1997–98, and the temple reopened around Chinese New Year 1998–99.

The temple serves as a worship space for Sydney's Chinese community during religious ceremonies and celebrations. Visitors can observe traditional practices and see how the community gathers here to honor various deities.

The temple is accessible after its restoration and is well-maintained by the community. Visitors should wear respectful clothing and be prepared to find active worship taking place with regular religious activities.

The temple's formal name, Hung Sheng Gong, refers to Hung Shing, the sea god worshipped as its principal deity. Its common name comes from Gaoyao and Gaoming, the two Guangdong districts the founding community came from, whose second syllables form "Yiu Ming".
