Legend: Chinese traditional religions: including worship of gods and ancestors, Confucianism and Taoism Buddhism Islam Ethnic minorities' indigenous religions: Zhuang folk religion, Yi Bimoism, Miao folk religion, Yao folk religion Mongolian folk religion: Tengerism Northeast China folk religion influenced by Tungus and Manchu shamanism, widespread Shanrendao Chinese traditional religions (worship of gods and ancestors, Taoism and Confucianism) are dominant in the provinces populated by a Han Chinese majority, and have a presence in areas with large Han Chinese settlements. In northeastern China (Manchuria), it has developed unique characteristics (forms of practice and pantheon) from its interaction with Manchu shamanism. The Confucian folk religious movement Shanrendao is widespread in northeast China. Among Han Chinese, the second largest religion is Chinese Buddhism. Theravada Buddhism is present in Yunnan areas bordering Burma, practiced by Dai peoples, and in the southern part of Hainan, practiced by the Li people. Tibetan Buddhism has an absolute majority in Tibet, and a strong presence of around 20% in Qinghai (which population is 20% ethnic Tibetan) and a smaller percentage in Inner Mongolia (13%). Mongolians practice it alongside their indigenous faith, Tengerism or Mongolian shamanism. Islam has a majority of over 50% in Xinjiang, populated by the Uyghurs, and a strong presence in Ningxia, the Hui Chinese autonomous region at the centre of China, and in Qinghai. Large minorities (20-30%) of practitioners of indigenous religion of non-Han Chinese origin, such as religions of the Zhuang, Yi, Miao and Yao, are present in Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan.
