This postcard of a Chinese Temple was published by KM&Co, Hongkong. It does not look like Man Mo Temple. Is it the Tin Hau Temple in Causeway Bay?

Hi there,

Despite there seem to be a 公所 for both Pak Tai Temple and Man Mo Temple, the one next to Man Mo Temple stood a little bit apart but this one is right next to it.

The ceramic decoration at the roof top is not exactly the same at the present day Pak Tai Temple in Wanchai though. The present day version must have been swapped in during one of the renovations.

This temple is Wan Chai Pak Tai Temple which was built by locals in 1863 at Lung On Street, near Stone Nullah Lane. Nowaways, the temple is still kept in good shape, and it is one of the declared monument of Hong Kong.
