Shengmu'anxi Church

20220822 Afternoon: 1. The "Sabbath Church of the Virgin Mary" is located in the "Harbin Cultural Park" (4A). The park is a convenient park located in the urban area. The traffic is in all directions, but there is no special parking lot. You can only find a place to stop around the park. The amusement park in the scenic area was once the top ten amusement parks in the country. When the Ferris wheel was built, it was the highest Ferris wheel in the country. After the epidemic, the amusement facilities have been suspended. At present, the park is more like a pedestrian street, and you can enter and exit at will. 2. There are three entrances to the east, west and south of the scenic spot. I entered the park clockwise from the west gate. The amusement facilities are mainly concentrated on the west side. They have all been out of service. The "Lianxin Lake" has also dried up, but the public toilets are still open. Passing through the open-air "smart gym" on the north side of the park (the equipment is very new and can cover the rain) and "respecting the old garden" (the flower and vegetation walking path) to Dongmen Square, a bright green "sun lawn" against the figure of sanitation workers sweeping the floor, the park's iconic landscape "ferris wheel" also came to the eyes, This is also the iconic view of Harbin. The Ferris wheel's bracket is six-pointed, some of the passenger boxes have disappeared, the Ferris wheel may have been abandoned, but it can still see its former glory and grandeur. Continue to the park to the south gate of the "Old Site of the Sabbath Church of the Virgin", this old church with vines and mottled walls was built in 1908, is the largest Orthodox cemetery in Harbin and the Middle East Railway-affiliated area, 1902 to 1958 buried more than 40,000 Russian Orthodox Christians The ceremony was held in the church (after the cemetery was relocated), and the rest of the church's annex buildings, stone monuments, walls, etc. were destroyed in the development of the cultural park, and the church itself even served as a game hall. Taking the Ferris wheel as the background to shoot the church, the ancient charm and the modern atmosphere have a different taste. The church is not open at present. 4. The south gate is a very artistic entrance. The European-style tower is full of green vines to tell the history of the park and the vitality. Continue to walk back to the west gate clockwise, several very creative Western-style sculptures in the southwestern part are magnificent, domineering, and even the nearby bathrooms are exquisite Western-style buildings. The scenic spot will be greatly transformed in the future, looking forward to its second spring.

The Sabbath Church of the Virgin was built in September 1908, with contributions from the Middle East Railway Administration and donations from the church. The structure is square, the altar is protruding outward, and the white exterior wall is neat and simple. The entrance to the church has a round arched porch, four huge drum piers supporting the cross-crossed slope roof, on which the onion-headed dome is placed.

Walking Harbin The old site of the Sabbath Church does not know who thought it was, and the original Sabbath Church's upright bell tower was changed to the gate of the cultural park. It is really a godsend. Looking from a distance, the doorway where the ticket inspector stood was almost completely covered with dense green shade, and behind the clock tower was the tall Ferris wheel and picturesque sky, which really looked like a day. Does this seemingly mysterious world entrance remind everyone of "Thousands and Thousands of Search"? Because the church is inside the cultural park, you need to buy a ticket to see the panoramic view, but the church is not well maintained for a long time. [View] It is worth seeing [Fun] With children, you can take the Ferris wheel [Cost-effective] If you just come to see the church, it is a bit expensive. You can shoot the clock tower outside the door.

[Harbin Sabbath Church] The Sabbath Church of the Virgin Mary is also known as Uspinkaya Church, located on Dongzhi Street (Cultural Park Courtyard) in Harbin. In 1908, it was built by the Middle East Railway Administration and donated by the church to sacrifice the dead (commonly known as Maozi Tomb) for Orthodox Christians. The church is a Russian architectural style, brick and wood structure. Its symmetrical layout, gradually shrinking from the bottom up. The dead are dead, the living are like suv. The soul return to heaven is naturally the yearning of the churchgoers.

Special trip for it, the scale is small and exquisite, see other friends in the first half of the year to describe the situation is good, but now it has become a dangerous house, is posted with a seal not to enter. For a hundred years, the Church of the Virgin Sabbath guards the graveyard of the deceased, comforts the soul of the living, and is so fateful that it is not easy to stand, and I hope it can be properly rescued.
