Yuen Kwan Yi Tai Temple, Chinese temple in Yuen Long District, Hong Kong.

Yuen Kwan Yi Tai Temple is a two-courtyard temple at the end of Changsheng Street in Yuen Long Old Market, built in the 18th century and estimated at 1714. Its entrance plaque is mounted vertically, a form reserved for imperial grants. A small stone ding stands between the altar and the kneeling cushions for worshippers to offer wine.

The temple's construction date is unknown; it is estimated to date from the 18th century, around 1714, the year inscribed on its bronze bell cast by the Longsheng furnace of Foshan. It is a Grade I historic building in Hong Kong. Inscriptions on its 1748 treasure burner record donations only from the Cai and Wang surnames, not the Tang of Kam Tin.

The temple honours Xuantian Shangdi and Guan Yu, and its name on the entrance plaque is written vertically, a form otherwise reserved for imperially bestowed plaques. A small stone ding stands between the altar and the kneeling cushions, where worshippers offer wine. The temple is managed by the residents of Sai Bin Wai, now mostly of the Lam surname.

The temple stands at the far end of Cheung Shing Street in the old Yuen Long market, and it is managed by the residents of Sai Pin Wai, where the Lam surname now predominates. Look for the vertical "Yi Tai Temple" plaque at the entrance, a form otherwise reserved for imperially bestowed inscriptions.

The temple's bronze bell, cast at the Longsheng furnace in Foshan, bears the inscription "Kangxi jiawu year" (1714), and a bronze treasure burner weighs 280 jin and is dated to the 13th year of Qianlong (1748). Their donor inscriptions name only the Cai and Wang families, with no gifts from the Tang of Kam Tin, indicating the area west of the fence was settled by families outside the Tang clan and is now mostly inhabited by the Lin.
