Union Church

The Concorde Chapel in Gulangyu Island is the earliest church on the island, located on Lujiao Road, completed in 1863. It was renovated in 1911 and renamed the Concorde Chapel. The exterior walls of the Concorde Chapel have "Proverbs of Love" and "Ten Commandments", all from Genesis, 1 Corinthians and Exodus. Mr. Lin Yutang, a famous literary artist, and his wife Jade Feng, had a wedding here, which covered the church with a romantic story. Now many young people like to go here to take pictures of wedding dresses.

This place is not far from the underwater world. It was originally a foreigner who worshiped and spread religion. Now it is one of the famous buildings on Gulangyu Island. The wedding dresses like to come here to take pictures. There are many Western-style buildings around, and the scenery is not bad.

From the old postal branch, I saw many new people in dresses heading in the same direction, and I saw the chapel in less than two minutes. Sure enough, I saw many people taking wedding photos. The church is not open, but the open space outside is full of new people taking pictures, but to be honest, the landscape is just average.

Gulangyu was forcibly established as a public concession from the beginning of the twentieth century, and Western powers and even the Japanese Empire established their own concessions in Gulangyu Island and built many consulates, which in various forms created the title of Gulangyu Island, a museum of architecture in all countries. The arrival of foreigners also brought their religion, and this chapel is the most famous in the southeast status.

Unfortunately, it is not open to the public. There are ten commandments and love proverbs outside. It is good to take pictures. The Concorde Chapel should be the most unlike the church. I have never seen the top roof of the church without a cross. Such classical design is more like the architectural style of the Greek temple, simple - low-key - practical, without too much decoration, but there is a kind of elegance - solemnity - pure beauty, and the perfect wedding photo background.

Going to Gulangyu to see other people's brides is a joke, but you will indeed see many brides taking wedding photos here, especially in front of Concorde Chapel. European-style architecture with wedding dress, wonderful, in front of the door "love proverb" also means the marriage Concorde beauty.

The appearance is simple and the inside is very exotic. Stained glass, bronze chandeliers, everything is like a scene in a movie. Imagining the wedding photos taken inside must be very artistic.
