Alexandria, NSW

Located at 22 Retreat Street in Alexandria, Sydney, the Yiu Ming Temple is a heritage-listed Chinese temple built in 1908–1909. It stands as one of the oldest surviving Chinese temples in Australia and is a rare example of the traditional Chinese village temple form. The temple's walls are constructed of red-faced brick, and the interior features tessellated tiles with white marble edging. A notable architectural element is the "roof lantern" over a sunken floor section designed for burning incense and oil. The temple has been a focal point for Sydney's Chinese community, providing spiritual support and cultural activities for over a century. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 24 September 1999.
