[Evangelical Church, Lijiang, China] A quiet church in a Naxi town

As you walk along the cobblestone streets of the Lijiang Old Town, a World Heritage Site, you'll suddenly come across the quiet wooden Christian church, the Gospel Hall. Blending traditional Naxi architectural styles with Christian elements, this is a special place where Lijiang's unique history and culture intersect.

👀Highlights✨
🪵A church, but Chinese architecture? The encounter between Naxi and Western cultures
The Gospel Hall lacks a Western-style steeple and features beautiful traditional Chinese architecture, with a tiled roof and wooden latticework. The interior is simple and warm, exuding a homely atmosphere despite being a space for prayer. It's truly a testament to the fusion of different cultures.

🕊️A peaceful spot where history and prayer come to life
Built by American missionaries in the late 19th century, this church has long taken root in the community and remains a quiet haven for local Christians and tourists alike. Stopping by during a sightseeing break offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle.

📸 Beauty in the Serenity
The courtyard, bathed in sunlight filtering through the trees, and the chapel, with its tranquil, warm wooden décor, are exceptionally photogenic. This hidden gem offers a unique setting, a departure from the glamorous old city area.
