Religious Cultural Tour Explore Hong Kong Styled Divination

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!

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.

Continue your journey into the heart of Hong Kong's spiritual landscape with a visit to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery (Man Fat Tsz) in Sha Tin. Buddha is closely connected in Chinese culture, and this extraordinary monastery, nestled on Man Fat Shan, showcases this connection in a breathtaking display. Founded in 1949 by Master Yuet Kai, the monastery houses an astonishing collection of over 12,000 Buddha statues.

Immerse yourself in the serene atmosphere and marvel at the sheer scale of this unique and awe-inspiring site. While access to the monastery involves a short uphill walk (vehicles are not permitted), the breathtaking views and spiritual rewards at the summit are well worth the effort.

Conclude your exploration of Hong Kong's cultural treasures with a visit to the Che Kung Temple, a site steeped in tradition and local belief.

Built approximately 300 years ago, this temple draws visitors from around the world seeking its oracles and fortune stickers, particularly for blessings of health.

Immerse yourself in the Hong Kong tradition of 'spinning the windmill' to attract good luck and ensure a smooth and prosperous year. Locals believe that by setting the windmill in motion, favorable winds will guide their lives.

**But here is a secret known to Hong Kong locals: according to the temple caretakers, if your overall fortune was good in the past year, you do not need to spin the windmill. Instead, simply strike the drum three times to continue last year's good luck.**
