Man Mo Temple, Hollywood Road, Hong Kong

Last Sunday we finally got round to visiting the Man Mo temple -- it's only 160 years old, but looks absolutely ancient inside.

Full of HUGE smoking spiral incense sticks (which take two weeks to burn apparently), it's very atmospheric & moving.

I was rushed when we went as the boys were getting fractious. I need to go back for some meditation.

Built in 1847, Man Mo Temple or Man Mo Miu (Traditional Chinese: 文武廟) is a typical sort of temple worshipping the Man Tai (文帝), Pau Kung; Mo Tai (武帝) and Kwan Yu -- to pray for good results in examinations. It was built in honour of two gods, Man the god of literature and Mo the god of war.
