Temple 文武廟 X Flea Market: Hollywood Road 荷李活道

it’s distant yet walk-able from

the main roads of Central 中環

as I walked further away from

the tall office buildings and

rows of fashion retail outlets

walking into the very

authentic “Hong Kong” neighbourhood

the iconic WenWu temple 文武廟

Wen 文,scholarly,

represents Confucius

on the contrast,

Wu 武, warrior-hood,  

represents General Guan Yu 關羽

the legendary hero from Three Kingdoms
