Man Mo Temple: Visit Sheung Wan, Hong Kong's largest temple dedicated to Man Tai, the literature god, and Mo Tai, the god of martial arts. It was built in 1847, and it is now a declared monument.
Peak Tram: Ride up to famed Victoria Peak on the world's steepest funicular. The 125-year-old railway travels 1,320 feet up, and creates the illusion that some of the buildings you pass are leaning at a 45-degree angle.
Sky Terrace 428: Check out the views from highest viewing platform in Hong Kong. At over 1,400 feet up, the vistas are far, wide, and unbelievably beautiful.
Aberdeen Fishing Village: See Hong Kong's famous floating village. In 1982, the population of boat dwellers was estimated to be about 40,000. Now, most people only use the boats for fishing.
Stanley Market: Browse through this amazing market place where you can find genuine Chinese silk garments, authentic Chinese art, and other nice souvenirs.
Lunch at Jumbo Kingdom: Enjoy a delicious dim sum lunch on one of Hong Kong's iconic floating palaces. You'll be served the same exact dim sum that makes movie stars, royalty, and other celebrities come back again and again.

The gods of the Man Mo Temple began as mortal men. Kwan Tai, the god of war and martial arts, is regally portrayed with a red face, a gold crown, and a long sword. But it took both his life and his death to get him to his lofty station. Born Guan Yu, he came from a lowly family.

Guan Yu's legend begins during the Three Kingdoms period (220–280 A.D.), a short but bloody time that saw the kingdoms of Wei (in the north), Wu (in the east), and Shu (in the west) in a constant state of war.

Guan Yu was a naturally gifted fighter who made himself a name as a soldier of fortune. Fiercely loyal, when his sworn blood brother Liu Bei founded the state of Shu, Guan Yu agreed to lead his armies.

His triumphs on the battlefield were so many that a price was put on his head. In time he was captured and beheaded, and that's when his legend was born. Within 40 years of his death, he was revered throughout the land as a hero.

By the 10th century, Taoists and Buddhists both claimed him into their deities. And during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), he was raised to his highest level with the title of "Saintly Emperor Guan the Great God who Subdues Demons of the Three Worlds and whose Awe Spreads Far and Moves Heaven."

Thankfully, during the Qing dynasty, his title was amended to God of War.

The god of paperwork

The God of War in the Man Mo Temple is highly recognized and revered by most for his legendary exploits, and for fighting demons. The other Man Mo god, Cheong Tai, presented wearing a red robe with a golden hand holding a pen was of great importance to one particular group of people during the Ming and Qing dynasties: Ambitious students seeking prominence and high ranking from their civil examinations. In short, bureaucrats.
