Taoism
Taoism is a religion native to China.  It was founded by a sage named Lao Tzu.  The religion has both philosophical and religious strains.  I hope to get more information about Taoism up soon, but until then, please enjoy the photos!  (Just remember that they are copyrighted).


This is an altar which is commonly found outside homes throughout China and Hong Kong.
From this altar people offer incense to gods of the sky, sea, or other deities for the protection
of home and family, and for health, wealth, and good fortune.
