It may not seem the obvious place to start a job hunt but a Buddhist temple on the outskirts of Beijing has become a pilgrimage site for some university graduates.
At the Wofo Temple the graduates make offers to the Buddha, hoping that a spot of divine intervention will help secure them a decent job.
English-speaking graduates chose the temple because they believe the name "Wofo" sounds similar to "offer" - as in job "offer" - in English.
One of those praying is Deng Naixin. Despite only being in her second year of a management studies degree, she is already worried about her prospects.
"The situation is getting tougher and tougher," said the 19-year-old. "There are so many graduates now."
"I need to keep working hard to improve my opportunities. But I'm also superstitious so I hope the Buddha will help me out."
But the prayers of today's graduates are largely going unanswered. This year a record seven million students graduated from China's colleges and universities.

Tatizo la kazi linazidi kuongezeka duniani. Apparently hapa kwetu sasa hivi form four graduates ndio wanatafuta kazi za ndani na nje manyumbani.
Tatizo hili viongozi wetu inabidi waliangalie kwa kina zaidi. Pia watu wenye uwezo wa ku-create nafasi za kazi kwenye jamii waendelee kufanya hivyo ili kupunguza kasi ya ongezeko la watu wasiokuwa na ajira nchini.
