Introduction

Man Mo Temple is located on Hollywood Road in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. It is one of the oldest temples in Hong Kong with a long history. Built in the early days of Hong Kong's establishment, it was used by the Chinese community for traditional dispute resolution, including oath-taking and arbitration ceremonies. The temple complex consists of three main buildings: Man Mo Temple, Lit Shing Kung, and a community meeting hall. It was designated as a declared monument on November 12, 2010. Man Mo Temple is dedicated to the worship of God of Literature and God of Martial Arts, while Lit Shing Kung is dedicated to other deities. The community meeting hall was used for community discussions and dispute resolution. The three buildings are separated by two narrow lanes and were constructed between 1847 and 1862 by local Chinese merchants in Hong Kong.
