What travelers say:

The Basilica of the Virgin of the Lushan: also known as the Lushan Catholic Church, the Cathedral of the Lushan, and the Basilica of the Virgin of the Far East. It is located on the top of the Lushan Mountain in Songjiang District, Shanghai. It is a famous pilgrimage site for the Chinese Catholic Church and is famous for the Basilica of the Lushan Mountain. It is named for the main protection of the Virgin Mary. In 1863, the Catholic Jesuit Church built five bungalows in the middle of the mountain for missionaries to recuperate, with a small church. Later, a six-point pavilion was built on the top of the mountain to worship the Virgin Mary, place an altar, and hold mass, which is the source of the pilgrimage to Mount Lu. 1871, the hilltop lobby was built in 1873, which was in a cross shape and a mixed Chinese and Western building. Later, due to the large number of pilgrims and not enough to use, the church was demolished in 1925 and started construction in April of the same year, which took ten years and was completed in November 1935. The annexed buildings have the Virgin Pavilion, Joseph Pavilion, Sacred Heart Pavilion and 14 Bitter Road and other landscapes, located along the mountain road.
