City God Temple in Shanghai

The City God Temple in Shanghai is a typical Chinese Taoist temple. Normally the centre of a Taoist temple is a yard with an incense burner. Next to the yard is a hall with giant figures. The Taoist saints usually have beards, unlike the Buddhist ones. Behind this hall there is another one with a nicely dressed figure of the City God. There people go to pray.
