Experience the sacred solemnity of Gothic architecture at Hongjialou Church in Jinan, Shandong.

When you come to Hongjialou in Jinan, you can personally experience the unique charm of this cathedral. Not only is it the largest cathedral in Jinan, but it is also one of China's famous century-old churches and occupies an extremely important position in modern Chinese religious architecture. The magnificent and beautiful double-tower Gothic architecture, the towering spire bell tower, and the exquisite stone carving pagodas are all amazing. Entering the church, each stained glass window has a gorgeous and vivid Bible story, and the light transmission and color are excellent. When the sun shines through, the brilliant light is fascinating. In the church, the singing of two volunteer aunts seems to have a mysterious power, which makes me immersed in an extremely sacred feeling in an instant. The most unique feature of this church is that although it is a typical Western building, many details can clearly see the influence of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. For example, the roof of the church's main hall uses traditional Chinese small black tiles, and the stone pillar heads inside are decorated with traditional Chinese painting techniques, such as seawater, rising sun, and pine crane, which are full of Chinese charm and truly reflect the combination of Chinese and Western. Here, every detail is worth our heartfelt experience. The opening hours of the Red Mansion Church are as follows: Monday to Friday: 9:00-11:00, 14:00-16:00; Saturday: 14:00-16:00; Sunday: 10:00-16:00. Pay attention to the time to avoid running out.
