As you enter Man Mo Temple Hong Kong, you will notice a strong burning and incense smell which stays with you right up until you leave. At first the smoke may be a little overwhelming but you’ll get used to it after a bit. The temple is full of lanterns with red cards hanging from the bottom. As you look up, you will notice the ceiling is full of larger, burning incense which create large clouds of smoke. The clouds of smoke go hand in hand with the light rays that shine through the holes in the ceiling as the smoke enhances the light rays.
The interior of the building complex is largely decorated with the colour red and classic Chinese script and statues. You will also hear many people banging the large gong which is located on the wall. Towards the back of the temple you will find people praying and making wishes.
