The gods of literature and the military are celebrated here in one of the oldest temples in Hong Kong. Built in the 1840s, you'll find two unique chairs inside that were once used to carry these deities through the city during festivals. Visitors have left sticks of incense over the years, which are now hanging from the ceiling; you can still buy one in hopes of fulfilling a wish. There is also a fortune teller. Man Mo had a brief role in the Oscar-winning film "Love is a Many Splendored Thing", although the surrounding area is now packed with skyscrapers.
