What travelers say:
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!

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
St. Ignatius Cathedral, also known as Xujiahui Cathedral, is a Neo-Gothic Roman Catholic cathedral, located in Shanghai’s Xuhui District. Since 1960, St. Ignatius has been the seat of the Bishop of Shanghai and the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Shanghai. The red brick walls and two towering bell towers are particularly eye-catching. Closed down and vandalized during the Cultural Revolution, the cathedral was re-opened and restored beginning in 1978. Fans of the 1987 film “Empire of the Sun” will recognize St. Ignatius Cathedral as the location for one of the film’s opening scenes.

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.

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^7553

A Historic Shanghai CathedralSt. Ignatius Catholic Cathedral in Shanghai’s Xuhui District is a historic landmark and the current seat of the Bishop of Shanghai. Built in the early 1900s, it has survived many rather tumultuous episodes including wars and revolutions. Fun fact, the exterior was used in the opening scenes of Steven Spielberg's 1987 film Empire of the Sun. Spielberg used the church as a stand-in for the Anglican Holy Trinity Church in Shanghai, which is where J.G. Ballard, who penned the novel on which the film was based, attended school. The park opposite the cathedral has been newly renovated and is a lovely place for photos. #churchs #architecturalphotosrwwishart39

Shanghai | A spiritual baptism in the 'Vatican' of the magic cityXujiahui's Catholic Church⛪️ Known as the 'Greatest Cathedral in the Far East', it truly does not disappoint. ———————————— ⚜️ Passing by the Xujiahui Academy, I was captivated by the Gothic bell towers on both sides, the red brick🧱 arches, granite edging, paired with the exquisite reliefs, quiet and pure🪔 ⚜️ Inside the hall are 64 carved Gushan stone columns, Gothic pointed arch windows, and I was deeply shocked by this sense of solemnity, especially the top cloister, intertwined together, said to be through a network design combined with aerodynamic principles📖, allowing the sound💬 of the three-story high hall to reach every corner ⚜️ Right in front of the entrance is the altar with the statue of Saint Ignatius in the center and 8⃣️ saints' statues🗿, with lively carvings and gilded designs, gorgeous and exquisite ⚜️ The stained glass made up of various divine statues and patterns is stunningly beautiful, along with the huge round windows🪞 and various carvings, where I could quietly appreciate the whole day ⚜️ The church⛪️ can accommodate more than three thousand worshippers, truly the 'Vatican' of the magic city, and it can also host weddings🎊, capturing the feeling of sacred romance❗️ Xujiahui Catholic ChurchRoamingRhapsody
One would truly be captivated by the sea of blooming flowers in Shanghai during March🌷🌹💐🌸 The city flower of Shanghai is the white magnolia, which is as beautiful as the tulips and cherry blossoms. The tulips at the Xujiahui Cathedral, the white magnolias at the Longhua Temple, and the cherry blossoms in Hongkou.The Culinary Explorer s Journey
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
Come and play in XujiahuiI passed by the Xujiahui Catholic Church before, on the left side of the square in front of the church, there is a square modern orange building, seeing tourists coming in and out, I guess it is a place for art exhibitions. I came to have a look today. After passing through the open coffee shop, I realized it should be a bookstore, but I don't know which bookstore it is, guessing from the decoration style, is it 'Zhongshu'? Looking at the staff's clothing, I guess it is Xujiahui Library. It's really open and friendly here. I learned from Baidu that on January 1, 2023, the Xujiahui Academy and the new Xuhui District Library were newly opened. It's a coincidence that I went to the Sports Museum, SAIC is preparing for the promotion of new cars, the 'Zhiji' series. It looks like a big event. Today, the parking lot of the Sports Museum (No. 1111, Caoxi North Road) is open to the public. But why can't I find the entrance on Gaode Map?Stella Garcia
