Yanjing Catholic Church

Catholic church in Mangkang County. Architecture that integrates Tibetan characteristics, if it weren't for the cross, I wouldn't think it was a church inside the church, or it still retains the original Catholic characteristics.

How to go to Tibet Yanjing Catholic Church: Yanjing is located at the junction of Yunnan and Tibet, and it is also 113 kilometers away from Yunnan, the nearest county to Tibet, Deqin. If you leave from Lijiang, you must take the shuttle bus to Shangri-La and then transfer from Shangri-La to Deqin. Lijiang has no direct shuttle bus to Deqin). Because it is close to the evening to Deqin, there is no car to Mangkang, it is best to arrive from Deqin to Feilai Temple, so that you can get up the next day to enjoy the spectacular and sacred Meili Snow Mountain. After enjoying the Rizhao Jinshan of Meili Snow Mountain, take the shuttle bus from Deqin or Feilai Temple to Yanjing. Because it is a rural passenger transport and the speed limit in Tibet, it is almost two or three in the afternoon to reach the Yanjing. The Catholic Church is still some distance from the center of Yanjing Town. You can take the motorcycle or hike of the local villagers. The church is a sacred religious place for the locals, so please respect local customs and habits. At present, the Yanjing Church is free to tourists and does not charge any fees.
