Man Mo Temple
One of Hong Kong's oldest temples and a declared monu-
ment, atmospheric Man Mo Temple is dedicated to the
gods of literature ('Man') and of war ('Mo'). Built in 1847
during the Qing dynasty by wealthy Chinese merchants, it
was, besides a place of worship, a court of arbitration for
local disputes in the 19th century when trust was thin
between the local Chinese and the colonialists. Oaths taken
at this Taoist temple (accompanied by the ritual beheading
of a rooster) were accepted by the colonial government.
