Ghosts
See the pinkish-red buildings with the pointy roofs? These are apartment buildings that are apparently haunted. They are painted red because apparently the color red has either a pacifying or suppressing effect on the restless spirits. Still, even though the protections are in place, this place is apparently pretty cheap. The law of supply and demand, you know. Lots of gui lao ren (a slighly rude way to refer to foreigners, which ironically translates to “ghosts”) rent rooms from this building.
