Man Mo Temple 文武廟

#hkonbudget
The Ultimate Urban Contrast
Man Mo Temple perfectly embodies the unique contrast that defines Hong Kong, and it’s a brilliant, free way to capture the city’s spirit. Tucked away on Hollywood Road, this serene, low-slung temple is dramatically surrounded by towering modern apartment blocks and sleek commercial buildings. The juxtaposition is stunning. Getting there is also ultra-budget friendly. Take the MTR to Sheung Wan and walk the 15 minutes, or better yet, hop on a cheap "Ding Ding" tram along Des Voeux Road, soak in the sights, and walk up Ladder Street. The cost of a tram ride is minimal, and the journey itself is a classic, cheap HK experience. Inside, the heavy, fragrant air and quiet reverence is the best free escape you'll find from the noise and hustle of Central.
