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!
