Kwan Tai is the God of War and the patron of Hong Kong's police and gangsters!

An historical figure from the Three Kingdoms period (AD 220-265), Kwan Tai was later deified as a Taoist symbol of integrity and loyalty.

An ever-burning lamp stands before his statue in the colourful mid-19th century Man Mo Temple on Hong Kong Island's Hollywood Road. Meaning "Civil and Martial", the temple is dedicated jointly to Kwan Tai and the God of Literature. Elaborate ceremonies are held to mark the birthday.
