#Bailu Monastery Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Sichuan Tourism | The Han-Localized Magic Academy perfect for a getaway with your besties - Bailu Academy
Bailu Academy is located in Hui Shui Village, Bailu Town, Pengzhou City, Sichuan Province, China. It was established in 1895 and was co-designed and built by French Catholic missionaries Father Bourrass and Father Lu Shuya. It served as a seminary for the Chengdu Diocese to train Catholic missionaries and became the cradle for cultivating Catholic clergy throughout Sichuan.
The architecture is a blend of Chinese and Western styles: a typical Chinese courtyard with a grand scale, paired with a towering white French chapel. The exterior walls are made of marble, while the interior is a wooden structure with simple arch vaults in the shape of a Latin cross, adorned with stained glass windows. The overall building is actually a mix of Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Nestled in the foothills, it is a spectacular sight, and social media influencers like to call it the Chinese version of 'Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry'.
Unfortunately, the original building of the academy was almost leveled to the ground during the '5.12' earthquake. What we see now is a 1:1 restoration and reconstruction on the original site in 2015.
📷 Photo tips:
1⃣️ White or black long dresses are more photogenic~ or wear court-style clothes with some accessories~
2⃣️ The academy is very close to Bailu Music Town, and you can combine a visit to both. If you're just visiting the academy for photos, it won't take much time~
3⃣️ The second floor is not open to the public, so you can only visit the first floor. There is a public welfare book bar + coffee shop on the first floor, where you can sit and quietly enjoy the atmosphere with your besties after taking photos.
✝️ Address: Bailu Academy, Hui Shui Village, Bailu Town, Pengzhou City, Chengdu (If you only want to visit the academy, navigate directly to Bailu Academy, not Bailu Town)
🚗 It is recommended to drive there yourself, there are two parking lots near the academy, both charging 10 yuan.
⏱️ Opening hours: May 1st - September 30th 9:00-17:00
My friend thought I went to Switzerland for a concert! It was just around Chengdu

Thank you to my dear friend for taking me here for a visit before the National Day holiday.
It felt like going abroad, and we took a lot of beautiful photos.
We listened to a heart-stirring concert.

Let me share the entire travel strategy and our itinerary.

I suggest allocating a whole day for visiting this place.
We left Chengdu after lunch, and the journey was almost entirely on the highway, which was very smooth.

The architecture of the entire town is very beautiful, just like being abroad, with fountains and various small western-style buildings. You can take beautiful pictures anywhere. There is a market in the town to stroll around, and live performances by artists to watch. The music atmosphere is cleverly integrated into the environment of the town. Walking on the streets, you can feel this romance!

After visiting the town, we drove for less than 10 minutes to reach the concert venue at Shangshuyuan.
In the ancient century-old building, with dazzling lights and rousing symphonies, music and starlight intertwined, creating a beautiful, romantic, and classical artistic atmosphere. Being able to experience it live, I really felt so honored and happy!
This opening concert selected classic pieces from both Chinese and foreign repertoires for interpretation, and also incorporated opera elements, presenting wonderful segments of classic operas, creating a romantic atmosphere and an immersive musical and artistic experience.
It's no exaggeration to say that I was moved to tears several times, especially when I heard 'The Butterfly Lovers'.
I truly felt the greatness and beauty of music.
