Although not as grand as some temples in Hong Kong, the Man Mo Temple is one of the most atmospheric you’re likely to encounter here. It unites an unlikely pairing of gods, Man, the God of Literature and Civil Servants, and Mo, the God of War and Martial Arts. It’s situated in a very traditional part of town and just the walk there is enough to transport you to a different era. The streets outside sell religious items and inside you’ll see elaborately carved wooden chairs formerly used to transport the gods in processions, along with some of the longest incense coils in the territory, which can burn for up to three weeks! At the far end of the temple, you’ll find statues and altars to the two gods presiding over the temple.
