Sacred Shanghai by photographer and anthropologist Liz Hingley explores the spaces, rituals and communities—in official, unofficial, public and private forms—that together weave the spiritual fabric of China's largest and most cosmopolitan city. After decades of suppression during the Mao era, China has been undergoing one of the great religious revivals of our time. Unsettled by the pace of development and globalisation, millions are turning to faith for meaning and hope in the alienating mega cities that now dominate Chinese life. Shanghai has around 26 million inhabitants and is the tenth wealthiest city in the world. Hingley documents the way belief threads through everyday urban existence, from organised worship to private, improvised devotion.
