Just a handful of people still live in a village on Shengshan Island, which is east of Shanghai, that was once home to more than 2,000 fishermen.

The remote village, on one of more than 400 islands in the Shengsi archipelago, was abandoned in the early 1990s as first wealthy residents then others moved away, aiming to flee problems with education and food delivery.

The festival is the main festival of the Tenggerese people and lasts about a month. On the 14thday, the Tenggerese make the journey to Mount Bromo to make offerings of rice, fruits, vegetables, flowers, and livestock to the mountain gods by throwing them into the volcano’s caldera. The origin of the festival lies in the 15thcentury when a princess named Roro Anteng started the principality of Tengger with her husband, Joko Seger, and the childless couple asked the mountain gods for help in bearing children. The legend says the gods granted them 24 children but on the provision that the 25thmust be tossed into the volcano in sacrifice. The 25thchild, Kesuma, was finally sacrificed in this way after initial refusal, and the tradition of throwing sacrifices into the caldera to appease the mountain gods continues today.
