Description: TWGHs Man Mo Temple, located on Hollywood Road in Sheung Wan, was built in 1847. It was named after the deities revered in the temple – Man Cheong, the God of Literature, and Kwan Tai, the Martial God. A building cluster of immense historical and cultural significance, the temple was declared a monument by the Hong Kong government in November 2010. The Man Mo Temple Autumn Sacrificial Rites, an intangible cultural heritage item of Hong Kong, has been held annually since 1957. Upholding Chinese cultural traditions, the officiating guests and directors of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals perform the Sanxian Ritual (Three Presentation Ritual) in traditional black ceremonial robes.
