Man Mo Temple
Located at Fu Shin Street, the Man Mo Temple. The
Temple was built by the Tsat Yeuk Villagers in
the late 19th century and was once used as the
office of the Tsat Yeuk Rural Committee. Careful
restoration work has given the Temple an
authentic look. There are many rooms inside the
temple and inside the rooms there are a lot of
god statues for people to worship, those statues
were just made of wood.
But after the restoration work people just put
the statues out in the middle of the temple for
people to worship.Now a day, Man Mo Temple
already listed as a monument?The open time of Man
Mo Temple is from 600 a.m. to 600 p.m..  
TransportationMan Mo Temple is near the

They are the gods of the door. They help us to
frighten away the ghosts. They are the General
Qin and General Wu. At night, they stood outside
the Tong Tai Chungs room so that Tong Tai Chung
could sleep and handle the affairs in day time.
But they couldnt stand outside every night. So
Tong Tai Chung made the painter to draw their
pictures and stick on the door. Then they became
the gods of the door. We need to respect them.

to pay the transportation fee, buying things in
the convenient shops like 7-11 and Circle K,

wishing trees there. One is for all kinds of
wishes, and one is for marriage. Many people go
there and try to wish for a good marriage.

will teach you how to do!
12
Because it will be more easier for you to throw
it up on the tree.
Why is there an orange link with the wish paper?
I see. It is very interesting. But why are there
so many people coming here and just make a wish??
Good question! Its related to legends There are
two of them. Let me tell you both of them!
13
Once upon a time, there was a woman. Her son was
weak in studying. So she went to the Wishing Tree
with her son, prayed to the tree earnestly. After
that, her son became clever and good at studying.
Then many people thought that there was a god in
the tree. They prayed to the god and made wishes
to the tree.
The following is another version. One day, there
was a fire burning all the trees. Before the
trees died, two Chinese redbuds grew in front of
the tree. And the two redbuds grew bigger and
bigger.So all the residents thought that it was a
very powerful tree! Then the powerful tree
developed into nowadays wishing tree.
14
For lunch, we will go to this restaurant for Yum
Cha. This restaurant is located in the Tai Po
Center. Why is Yum Cha so special? Its mainly
because you can eat many different kinds of
Chinese food there. Hong Kong people like this
kind of style very much. So how much is it?? It
is around 250. You can order any food you like
but remember that dont waste any food. Okay! Is
there time limitation? It starts from 1200p.m
until 500p.m.. Wow! Thats great! Certainly I
will be full! Hah! Lets go! Im sure that
youll like it!
15
Do you know how to use chopsticks?
Just use the hand to hold them together. Easy
job!!
Really? Lets try! You must hold them in the
correct way so that you can hold the food easily,
especially for the sphere shaped food like fish
ball! But many Chinese also dont know how to
hold them in the correct way
So what is the correct way? See here

Summary
17
Currently the largest park in Tai Po District is
the Tai Po Waterfront Park, completed in June
1997. It is located to the south of Tai Po
Industrial Estate facing the Tolo Harbour.

•   The Lookout Tower in the Park is 32.4 meters
  -high with the upper levels open to public daily
  from 900 a.m. to 600 p.m. Visitors can climb up
  the Tower and take a bird's eye view of the whole
  Park.

18
Its because some of the people in the New
Territories died when protecting their homeland,
so people there started to participate more in
activities concerning developments there and
this made Hong Kong in ones days of prosperity.

• Besides, it was also because of when England
  take over the New Territories, the starting point
  was the Lookout Tower in Tai Po now, so this
  tower was built there for commemoration.

Hong Kong Railway Museum
Do you know why it was located in Tai Po market
but not other places? Let me tell you.

• It is located in the town center of Tai Po
  Market. Inside is the Railway Station building
  which is erected in 1913. It has a  pitched roof
  of the traditional Chinese building and it was
  declared a monument in 1984. One year later,
  after the restoration and refurbishment, the
  building was opened as a museum. It have received
  an Annual Awards in December 1986 from the
  Architectural Services Department.

• Tai Po naturally developed into a center of
  administration and trade. The location of the
  Old Tai Po Market Station on the south bank of
  the Lam Tsuen River brought prosperity to Tai Wo
  Market and as more and more people came here to
  trade, the market gradually became a focus of Tai
  Pos flourishing economy.
