Recommendations for visiting Xujiahui CathedralXujiahui Cathedral is the cathedral of the Catholic Diocese of Shanghai, officially known as 'St. Ignatius Cathedral'. The cathedral is a medieval Gothic building, with a bishop's house, a nunnery, and a long cross-shaped plane on the side. The front faces east, with bell towers on both sides, towering into the clouds. The church faces west and east, is 79 meters high, 28 meters wide, with a brick and wood structure, covering an area of 2670 square meters, a building area of 6670 square meters, and can accommodate more than 3000 people. The entire building is five stories high, with a brick and wood structure, and the exterior is a typical European medieval Gothic style. The two sides of the main hall are Gothic bell towers, with a double-pointed brick and stone structure. The ridge of the hall is 18 meters high, the bell tower is about 60 meters high, the spire is 31 meters high, and the two crosses on the spire pierce the sky. There is also a cross on the body of the church, which is like a roulette wheel - life is like driving a roulette wheel, an apt metaphor. The center of the church body is a disc-shaped relief, complex and gorgeous, and it looks very much like the shape of a Roman clock from a distance. The external structure is made of pure red brick, with granite edges, a graphite tile roof, and many stone carvings of the Holy Child and God, pure and peaceful. 🚟Subway: Exit 8 of Subway Line 1, a hundred meters walk to reach.griffin_21321

The largest cathedral in the Far EastXujiahui Catholic Church, the largest cathedral in the Far East, is also the biggest highlight of the Xuhui Source Scenic Area, which is indeed shocking! The large lawn outside, under the contrast of the blue sky and white clouds, is particularly beautiful, and the pink and purple color of the pink grass is even more girlish. The twin towers of the church and several facades are very artistic, especially the sculptures on the front and the dozens of lions on both sides are extremely exquisite. Inside the church, after several years of renovation, it has been restored to be very elegant and grand. The sky blue banners hanging on the two rows of columns are particularly eye-catching. There are multiple prayer rooms in the corridors on both sides, and the oil paintings and sculptures inside are all fine works. Last time I came, the appointment was full and I didn't get in. Now I don't need an appointment, I can visit for free, and I met a good weather, I'm really happy!3th@n C@rt3r6
Xujiahui Cathedral, a gem of historical architecture!📍Address: Xujiahui Source, Xuhui District 🕰Business hours: Tuesday-Saturday 9:00-16:00, closed on Monday and Sunday Visiting the Xujiahui Cathedral located in Xujiahui Source in person is simply stunning! The eye-catching appearance of the church makes it easy to find. This is the former residence of the Ming Dynasty scientist Xu Guangqi's family, where two rivers converge to form Xujiahui. Coming out of the subway station, you might be a bit dizzy from the surrounding skyscrapers, but the spires of the church immediately make you feel its presence. The two spires of the cathedral reach into the sky, typical Gothic architecture, which seems a bit out of place with the skyscrapers behind. But its historical value fills people with awe. The cathedral has strict religious etiquette. When visiting, be sure to pay attention to your dress. Don't wear shorts, skirts, off-shoulder or belly-baring outfits, otherwise you won't be allowed in. 👀 The service here is very humanized, the volunteers at the door will remind you that you can take pictures, but don't use flash. Really very considerate! The most worth seeing in the church are the rose window and the stained glass. These stained glasses usually depict a Bible story. If you have time to watch carefully here, it is also an interesting thing, you can learn more about Western religion. The rose window is also a symbol of Gothic architecture, named for the round glass windows on the wall that resemble roses. The day of the visit was a sunny day, and the sunlight through these huge stained glass windows left beautiful shadows in the hall, which was really beautiful. Xujiahui Cathedral was built in the early last century. At that time, the French concession had the largest area and the best development in Shanghai. Many of the existing historical and cultural blocks in Shanghai are located in the French concession at that time. This church is a Catholic church, built by French missionaries, because Catholicism occupies a dominant position in France, and the church worships the image of the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus. Coming here is not just a visit, but also a historical exploration and a spiritual baptism. I hope everyone can feel the weight of history and the solemnity of religion. 🙏FLORA GOODWIN

Lesser-known attractions worth visiting in Shanghai|Excellent historical buildings|Excellent historical buildings. In recent days, there have been frequent news about crowded tourist spots and traffic jams. This year's holiday, the popularity of popular cities can be imagined. Due to the non-adjustment, I couldn't go far... Seeing that many friends are planning to travel to Shanghai, I wrote this recommendation of lesser-known attractions. Most of these attractions are on the streets of Wutong District, but if you don't pay attention, you will miss them. The number of people will be relatively small and the experience will be much better! 1. Delamond Residence Built in 1899, it was originally Delamond's private garden residence. The Baroque-style porch, pillars of green and red bricks, gable triangular gables at both ends, plus traditional eaves boards, the combination of multiple elements makes this building more charming. The entire building is well preserved and was rated as an excellent historical building in Shanghai in 1994. 2. Xujiahui Cathedral The Xujiahui Cathedral was designed by architect Tautfan. It started construction in 1896 and was completed in 1910. It was known as the "largest cathedral in the Far East" at that time. Before 1920, this church was the tallest building in Shanghai. It is still the largest cathedral in Shanghai and became an excellent historical building in Shanghai in 1989.3. Museum of Arts and Crafts Built in 1905, with a total area of 1496 square meters, it is a three-story mixed structure. It looks like an 18th-century European castle, so it was commonly known as the "Little White House on the Sea". 4. Baidai Small Building Built in 1921, it is an independent garden residence. It is the old site of Baidai Record Company. It carries the dreams and tears of countless musicians and has witnessed the rise and fall of the record industry. 5. Left League Memorial Hall Located on Duolun Road Cultural Celebrity Street in Hongkou District, it was built in the 1920s and has a pivotal weight in literary history. 6. Sun Ke Villa Originally Wudak's private house, he later received help from Sun Ke. To express his gratitude, he transferred the villa to Sun Ke, and since then Wudak and Sun Ke have become neighbors. 7. Zhang Leping's former residence Zhang Leping is a famous cartoonist in modern China, the creator of the image of Sanmao in "Sanmao's Wandering Diary", and is known as the "Father of Sanmao". 8. Ke Ling's former residence Ke Ling is a famous essayist and film playwright in China. Since 1930, he has started his "word cooking career" with the pen name "Ke Ling". 9. Xia Yan's old house, Cao Ying's study Xia Yan's old house and Cao Ying's study are both in the Hengfu Art Center on Urumqi South Road. Xia Yan lived here for a short time of 6 years, and the second floor restored the living scene at that time. 10. Xiyantang Built in 1929, it is the only Byzantine-style church in Shanghai. It was designed by Wudak. The unique round dome, colored glass windows, the flock of sheep on the lawn and the statues make it particularly quiet and mysterious.Z0y @nd3rs0n
The Xujiahui Catholic Church in Shanghai, witnessing the historical vicissitudes of modern ChinaThe Xujiahui Catholic Church, this old building full of historical charm, is located in the bustling Xujiahui District of Shanghai. As the cathedral of the Catholic Diocese of Shanghai, its existence not only represents the power of faith, but also carries the vicissitudes of modern history in Shanghai and even China. What you may not know is that there is a distinction between the old and new churches. The old church, built in 1851, was established by Father Nangerlu after obtaining a piece of land from the descendants of Xu in Xujiahui. This church is named after Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuits, hence the name "St. Ignatius Church", which is what we call the "old church". The existing cathedral, or new church, officially started construction in 1906. The new church is a typical French Gothic double spire building, five stories high, with a brick and wood structure. Its construction is full of creativity and imagination, as if it brings the romantic style of France into the bustling city of Shanghai. At one time, this church was known as the largest church in the Far East, which shows its status and influence at the time. The Xujiahui Catholic Church has witnessed the changes in China's modern history. From the missionary activities in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, to the church reconstruction after the Opium War, and then to the prosperous development after the reform and opening up, it has always stood at the center of faith, providing spiritual sustenance for people. Today, this church has become a national key cultural relics protection unit, and is also one of the first batch of China's 20th century architectural heritage. Its historical value and artistic value have been widely recognized by the world. Standing in front of the new church, can you feel the historical atmosphere from 1906? Those past years seem to have been baptized under the spire of this church. Whether it is the old church or the new church, they both carry the faith and history of the Xujiahui area, and have become a cultural card of Shanghai and even China.Lucy.Barnes^7554

It seems that it has been 20 years since the last time I came to Xujiahui Catholic Church, when the road was lost but full of vitality and hope. At that time, Xujiahui Catholic Church was in my eyes a symbol of Christmas and full of festive joy. Today, although not as things are human, but also have been hard polished by life. At this moment, there is more tranquility and patience, and I have not visited the structure decoration before. When you come to a place as sacred as a church, you always have peace in your heart and you fill yourself with strength.
Xujiahui Catholic Church, the first cathedral in the Far East, is also the biggest highlight of Xuhuiyuan Scenic Area at present, which is really shocking! The large lawn outside is particularly beautiful against the blue sky and white clouds, and the pink purple of the pink grass is more girlish. The church's twin towers and several facades are very artistic, especially the sculptures on the front and dozens of lions on both sides are extremely delicate. The interior of the church, after several years of renovation, has been restored to a very elegant atmosphere, and the sky blue strips hanging on the two rows of columns are divided into colorful colors. There are multiple prayer rooms in the corridors on both sides, and the oil paintings and sculptures inside are boutiques. When I came last time, the appointment was full and I didn't have time to enter. Now I don't need to make an appointment. I visit for free. I also encountered a good weather. I was really happy!

Xujiahui Catholic Church has already resumed free 🆓 open to citizens.

National holidays will be notified separately. For special religious activities, the measures for closing the museum are also taken.
