MAN MO TEMPLE

The Man Mo Temple Compound on Hollywood Road in Sheung Wan comprising three blocks – Man Mo Temple, Lit Shing Kung and Kung Sor – was built between 1847 and 1862 by wealthy Chinese merchants. Man Mo Temple is a two-hall-three-bay structure fronted by two granite drum platforms. A pair of screen doors is placed in the front hall. The magnificent Man Mo Temple Compound is a fine example of traditional Chinese vernacular architecture and is exquisitely decorated with ceramic figurines, granite and wood carvings, plaster mouldings and murals, all of which exhibit superb traditional craftsmanship. Man Mo Temple Compound was declared a monument in 2010.
