Guiyang's travel features a classic blend of Eastern and Western architecture, with the trendy church being a hit for photos

⛪️ After checking into the hotel, I immediately embarked on my Guiyang journey, with the first stop being the social media-famous trendy church. The classic architecture that combines Eastern and Western elements, along with its niche and mysterious colors, makes this trip to Guiyang full of anticipation. ————————— Name: Guiyang Catholic Church Address: No. 166, Shanxi Road, Yunyan District, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province Opening hours: 08:30-17:00, no entry after 16:00 Admission: Free ————————— ⛪️ The history here dates back to 1774, which is quite a long time ago. The church exudes a simple elegance with an understated splendor, calm and filled with a sacred glow. Stepping inside, you are greeted with the breath of the years, beautiful and slow, inviting you to explore. 🌟 A quiet spot in the hustle The location of the Catholic Church is excellent, situated in the bustling city area, where an inconspicuous iron gate leads to a surprisingly open space. No matter how complicated the outside world is, entering here slows down your pace, and the world becomes much quieter. Entering the main hall brings a sense of tranquility to the soul. 🌟 East meets West From the front, the church has a Chinese-style bell tower, but from the back, it indeed has the classic Western church arch structure, majestic and solemn. The decorations on the exterior walls are of Western style, but they are carved with patterns and elements reminiscent of medieval blue and white porcelain, full of surprises. 🌟 High photo yield Taking photos here is fantastic. The main photo spot is the square in front of the arch at the back of the church, with a massive backdrop that makes for great photos. Next is the front with the unique interwoven sense of the Chinese-Western bell tower, and finally, you must go inside. The colored glass windows, the high-domed hall, the grand European sculptures and architecture, and the holy atmosphere quietly await your exploration. ⛪️ Whether you are religious or not, it does not affect your ability to feel the passage of time, the grandeur, and the serene temperament of the church. Sit quietly in the church for a while, watching the sunlight filter through the colorful glass into the room, and feel a profound sense of peace inside.
