    Built in 1848 during the British rule, this temple in Hollywood Road is one of the oldest ones in the territory. Dedicated to the Man Cheong, God of Literature; and Kwan Yu, god of martial valor.

    Crowded working temple - check out both sides they feel quite different from each other.

    Clouds of fragrant incense smoke fill this 1840 temple honoring both literature and the military. All furnishings came from the Chinese mainland. – Green Guide Editor

    Good place to start your sightseeing tour around Hollywood and Soho. The smoke from the incense could be irritating to the eyeballs 😣.

    A place of worship dedicated primarily to the god of literature and god of war. Good to go here to learn more about Hong Kong's diversified religion.

    Good atmosphere. I like the look of lots of coiled incense sticks. See how many gods do you recognise.

    Very important place in the history of HK. It was not just a temple, actually an informal government of chinese community in the earlier years.

    Волшебное место! Очень здорово, как местные, купить сандаловых палочек и поставить в храме. Но! Открыто только до 17:00(или до 18:00😉)

    文武廟近く、初詣の人目当てに縁起の良い言葉を即席で書く商売。字が上手いのはお得です。
