The cement surface is stacked like steps. The exterior of the church is plain and simple, without any church decorations. It completely overturned my impression of the church. The church has a clear space of 75 meters and a ground diameter of 106 meters. There is no pillar. It can accommodate 20,000 people. Such an indoor space scale is impossible for any traditional church. Walking into the church, the light is dim. My eyes adjusted for a while, and a huge cross came in through the natural light above my head. The top cross extends downward, and the colorful mosaic glass forms a biblical story. A wonderful innovative design. It took 12 years to build and was completed in 1976. In addition to the main entrance, the church has several doors on both sides. All the doors are open, and no security personnel can be seen. Whether the church's trust in the people and the public's fear of God make standing guard redundant, there is a small souvenir shop on one side of the gate. If you want to find someone, this is the only shop
