Man Mo Temple

Step back in time and immerse yourself in the Man Mo Temple Compound on Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan. Built between 1847 and 1862, this complex comprises three blocks: Man Mo Temple, Lit Shing Kung (列聖宮), and Kung Sor (公所). It was once managed by the "Kaifong" (local residents). The Temple is a testament to Hong Kong's rich cultural heritage. We will provide complimentary incense sticks for you to experience the temple's fragrant atmosphere and participate in a traditional act of devotion. Immerse yourself in the calming scents and ancient rituals of this sacred space. A truly unforgettable start to your tour!

Bowrington Villain Hitting

Venture beneath the Ngo Keng Kiu, or Canal Road Flyover, in Causeway Bay, and discover a truly unique Hong Kong tradition. Here, you'll find elderly women seated before miniature shrines adorned with idol statues and incense sticks. For a small offering, they will perform the ritual of 'hitting the villains,' creating a paper effigy of your intended target – a symbolic act of dispelling bad fortune and negativity. They will then beat the effigy loudly and repeatedly with a shoe, a practice believed to ward off evil and bring blessings for protection. This surprisingly cathartic experience offers a fascinating glimpse into local beliefs and customs. Experience this unusual ritual firsthand, a captivating contrast to the serene atmosphere of the Man Mo Temple. Witness the local practitioners at work, and if you feel inclined to participate in the 'villain hitting' ritual yourself, an additional cost may be payable directly on-site.
