What travelers say:

It gives me the feeling of being old and magical. First of all it is the oldest church in Asia, probably 420 years old. It is the first stronghold of a Jesuit missionary in Spain. The church style is Spanish, the exterior is vicissitudes of old, but the interior is gorgeous, especially the stained glass mapping, so that the church in the solemnity of the sacred also added a lot of mysterious beauty. The building materials of the Baclarion church, like those of the Spanish castle, are made of coral stone and egg whites, and are said to have used millions of eggs as adhesives. It was amazing because there were naturally formed bearded figures on the walls outside the church, some said Jesus, some said a missionary. Our driver also pointed to another wall that said it was the Virgin in the arms of the Holy Child, but only a outline, not as shocking as the huge statue. Visits to the church are free, and there is a museum in the church for a fee, and the museum has a collection of religious relics, including French clothes made with gold threads, Latin church music lyrics written on sheepskins, etc. The Baccarat church prides itself on its strange ceiling murals and the intricate ancient confessional of carvings, choosing a sunny time to enter, and the ground will map beautiful colored glazed light and shadow, very charming.
