This is Man Mo Temple, on Hollywood Road. It's a good stop during all that shopping!
Parts of it were under construction, but everything was open.
The main temple is in the middle and on the right was a fortune-teller area. Fortune telling is extremely popular in
Hong Kong. There was a whole street dedicated to it at the Temple St. Night Market.
Most Chinese temples that we have seen have colorful painted carvings on the roofs.
A lantern. The temple is named for 2 gods, Man and Mo, one is the god of war and the other of literature. I can't remember which is which.
A close-up of one of the details on the wall of the temple. We didn't take any pictures of the inside because there were several people praying. Gen and I think it's tacky and disrespectful to take pictures in a house of worship while people are praying. But other people don't seem to care. There was a whole group of tourists snapping away.
