An altar in a Chinese temple

At this syncretic temple that embraces all three basic religions the Chinese traditionally practise, more than one deity is honoured on its altar, with the one in the middle – Yu Huang Shang Di in this case – the most important. Being the supreme deity of Taoism, Yu Huang Shang Di is worshipped in both Taoist and syncretic temples.
