Man Mo Temple, Wenwu Temple in Central District, Hong Kong

Located at Hollywood Road, this temple features traditional Chinese architecture with intricate wooden carvings, stone sculptures, and metal decorative elements throughout its structure.

Built between 1847 and 1862 by Chinese merchants Lu Yagui and Tan Yacai, the temple later transferred to Tung Wah Hospital management in 1908.

The temple honors both Man, the god of literature, and Mo, the god of war, reflecting the Chinese reverence for both civil and martial achievements.

The temple opens daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with extended morning hours starting at 7:00 AM during the first and fifteenth days of lunar months.

During the early colonial period, the temple served as an official venue for Chinese citizens to perform binding oath ceremonies by cutting rooster heads.
