Man Mo Temple

Man, the god of literature, and Mo, the god of war, were long worshipped here by students and scholars hoping for success, and local families still come to pray. Inside, giant spiral incense coils hang from the ceiling and fill the dim, carved halls with fragrant smoke, a favourite scene for photographers. Allow 30 to 45 minutes. Entry is free and donations are welcome. Keep your voice down, ask before photographing worshippers and avoid flash. It sits along Hollywood Road, so it pairs well with the antique shops and Cat Street market a short walk away.
