Man Mo Temple

Hong Kong has some thing in store for everyone. If you like spending time outdoors, you can explore the various hiking trails that Hong Kong offers or go cycling up the New Territories. If you like experimenting different cuisines - there is an option for every palate. If you like visiting scared places - then Hong Kong again has enough to offer for you to explore.

On a lazy Sunday afternoon, I decided to go explore one of the popular scared places in Hong Kong - The Man Mo Temple!




The Man Mo Temple is a temple for the worship of the God of literature (Man) and God of War (Mo). Built in 1847, it is said to e one of the largest Man Mo Temple in Hong Kong. The temple is situated in the heart of the concrete jungle of the Central / Sheung Wan business district.





My favourite part of the temple is the ornate arrangement of  the hanging incense coils. They are simply beautiful!







The temple is open Monday to Sunday from 8 am to 6 pm. You can either take a cab to Hollywood Road or take the MTR to Sheung Wan (Exit A2). If you are taking the Big Bus tour, Man Mo Temple is one of the attractions on the tours.
