That fire ritual was something else. I've never seen anything like that in public without police coming to shut it down. Very interesting.

Those ShiGandeng are interesting too and so is the story behind it. It's so cool you can walk around and still find where people have placed them and they've stayed there all this time. I wonder if they're still warding off evil spirits, hmm.

I appreciate you sharing all of this with us! The photos are great, and yes, you totally should have checked out that store with the books when you had a chance. From the photo, it just feels like there some hidden gems in there.

Thanks, Paul!
