| The outlook of Man Mo Temple |
In
1908, the temple was officially entrusted to the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals.
It was listed as a Grade I historic building in 2009 and is preserved as a Declared Monument.
The Man Mo Temple is a
picturesque tribute to the God of Literature (Man) and the God of War (Mo),
both of whom were worshipped by ambitious students looking to succeed in the
civil examinations of Imperial China. These involved rigorous systems aimed at
finding the best administrative officials for the state.
Man Mo Temple was built in 1987, this remains the largest Man Mo temple in Hong Kong. To pause for a moment's respite under its giant hanging incense coils makes for a pleasant contrast with the hectic pace of the nearby financial district.
You can go there by:
w
Bus 26 outside Pacific Place at Admiralty to Hollywood
Road and get off near Man Mo Temple.
w
MTR Central Station Exit D2 and turn right to Theatre
Lane. Walk along Queen's Road Central towards The Center. Then take the

w MTR Sheung Wan
Station Exit A2 then walk along Hillier Street to Queen's Road Central. Then

Temple.
