Hualien Xincheng Catholic Church

The Xincheng Catholic Church is said to be a building left over from the Japanese occupation era, and was later converted into a Catholic church. There are torii, stone beasts, stone dogs and other Japanese cultural elements at the entrance. Later, the Catholic Church bought this land and built a church in the shape of a ship, Noah's Ark. After years of baptism, the outside is surrounded by beautiful and tenacious vines, coupled with colored glass windows, forming a very distinctive church. Walking in this church with many cats, you can feel the harmonious lifestyle between animals and humans. Walking in the solemn church, your heart is very calm and you admire the natural art that blends religion, culture and nature together. It's really beautiful!
