Man Mo Temple

Man Mo Temple is a very traditional temple situated at the corner of Hollywood Road and Ladder Street. The Temple is dedicated to two deities; the god of Literature (man), a 3rd-century BC statesman and the Military god of war (mo). This is one of the oldest temples in Hong Kong and contains two antique sedan chairs used to carry statues of the gods during festivals. The most intriguing thing about this temple are the hundreds of large incense cones that hang, suspended from the ceiling. Smoke from the coils fills the temple creating a spiritual atmosphere as fragrant petitions to the gods. Light some to make a personal wish for health, wealth and happiness. Opening hours: Daily 8am-6pm.
