I had been wanting to explore
Hollywood Road for quite some time.
I had heard, through researching
Hong Kong travel web-sites,
THIS was the place for tourists
to find authentic Chinese antiques.
So Fred and I made a visit for date night.
The streets were STEEP
and the antiques were not
what I thought they would be.
They were either too cheep -
in quality
or too expensive in price.

Man Mo Temple
People visit Man Mo Temples to
pray to the god of literature and
the martial god.
Wikipedia: The two gods were popularly patronized
by scholars and students seeking progress
in their study or ranking in the civil examinations
They had just closed the temple gates
when we arrived. I guess we
won't be receiving any special help
on our studies this week ;).
STEEP Climb
The streets are so steep escalators
were installed to help
make the climb to the top.
You use the stairs and ramps
to climb back down.
Though it was not what I had
hoped it would be,
Hollywood Street
was still a CRAZY-COOL
place to visit in Hong Kong.
