Hong Kong is a city that has many faces. Depending on how you want to see it and the angle which you look at it from, travellers to this oriental treasure trove are able to experience and savor the sights and sounds of this beautiful city no matter where your country of origin may be. Although Hong Kong is popular around the world for its amazing cuisine, interesting architecture and the friendly locals, this fascinating metropolis is home to a number of Buddhist temples and shrines which adds another shade to this already colourful city.
The Man Mo temple located in Hong Kong is known to be a revered religious site where many Buddhist and Taoist followers come to pay homage to the holy spirits who they believe to have great powers. This temple is primarily dedicated to two separate gods, Kwan Yu, who is the god of war according to Chinese ancestral belief and Man Cheong who is the god of artistic literature. Replicated images and statues of these divine personalities can be seen within the temple grounds which are colorfully painted and ceremoniously decorated with beautiful flower garlands and other decorative material.
The god of literature can be seen wearing a magnificent green robe with a paint brush in his hand which signifies his bond with all things artistic. The god of war on the other hand can be seen carrying a finely crafted sword and wearing a fierce red cloak which symbolizes the fiery nature of his spirit. These gods were so well connected to local Chinese beliefs that during the era of British rule, local inhabitants would seek the wisdom of Man Cheong and Kwan Yu when it came to major issues of the community.
