Photographer and anthropologist Liz Hingley's Sacred Shanghai explores the spaces, rituals, and communities—official and unofficial, public and private—that weave the spiritual fabric of China's largest and most cosmopolitan city. After decades of repression during the Mao era, China has undergone one of the greatest religious revivals of our time. Disrupted by the pace of development and globalization, millions are turning to faith to find meaning and hope in the alienating megacities that now dominate Chinese life.
