Beijing's most morbid temple, Dongyue is populated by hundreds of life-sized ghoul and
ghost statues, who offer protection from harassment in the netherworld in return for devo-
tion and a suitable offering. Still a working Taoist temple, Dongyue is dedicated to the god
of Taishan (one of China's five holy mountains). ( 东岳庙 ; 141 Chaoyangmenwai Dajie 朝阳门外
