Shrine to Monkey King--Vinh Chau









The Monkey King is a fictional character based on mythology, so here is a shrine to him in Vinh Chau, as erected in a shaman's house. It is believed by many that the spirit of the Monkey King can possess the shaman and speak through him.

Ape worship has a long history in China, and the shaman is a Teochew Chinese.
