Man Mo Temple (Sheung Wan)
上环文武庙
A century-old temple on Hollywood Road dedicated to Man Cheong and Kwan Tai. The giant incense coils hanging inside are a classic sight.
Man Mo Temple was built in 1847 and is one of the oldest temples on Hong Kong Island. It is dedicated to Man Cheong, the god of literature, and Kwan Tai, the God of War. It is managed by the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals and is a declared monument. Spiral incense coils hang from the roof inside, and smoke drifting through the light makes for striking photos. Admission is free, so please do not disturb locals making offerings. Hollywood Road, where the temple sits, is an antiques street. Nearby are Upper Lascar Row (Cat Street), PMQ and Tai Ping Shan Street, which can be linked into a walk through old Sheung Wan. It is about 10 minutes' walk from Sheung Wan MTR Station.
