Along the coasts and waterway of the southern China there is a tribe called the Tanka who reside on the junk boats. Each family would have two small boats,one anchored for living and the other for fishing. Wooden figurines of Gods and ancestors are made for worshiping and to offer blessing when they are out at sea. With the decreasing number of fish and the better job opportunities on land, there are now only 1/5 of the Tanka still living at sea.
