Underground Religious Kitsch

Walking around one of our local parks, I wandered into a large cement bunker.  This was apparently an abandoned mine shaft or perhaps an air raid shelter? I will never know.  An attendant charged me 10 rmb to enter. I had no idea where the tunnel lead, so of course I ducked right in.

Down the dark and dank corridor rooms branched off to the right and left.  These rooms were motion sensor controlled to burst into light and animatronic weirdness as I passed.

I think the characters were representations of Buddhist religious events, but I was far to dazzled and creeped out by the craftsmanship to linger to investigate further.
