Discovering the Ancient Catholic Church in Dali

#churches Hidden within the historical streets of Dali lies an ancient Catholic church, a rare and fascinating sight in China. Built in the early 20th century, this church beautifully blends traditional Chinese architecture with Western religious design. I was captivated by the peaceful atmosphere and the unique cultural fusion. A quiet retreat from the bustling city, this gem offers a glimpse into Dali's diverse spiritual heritage. #dalicatholicchurch #hiddengem #culturalfusion #historicchurch #travelchina #spiritualretreat #chinesearchitecture #religiousheritage #daliexploration #offthebeatenpath

Gankeng Hakka Town

Step into timeless charm at Gankeng Hakka Town, where tradition meets picture-perfect scenery! 🏮🌳 Soak up those old town vibes as you wander ancient courtyards, tree-lined paths, and heritage lanes—all tucked away from Shenzhen’s city rush. Embark on your stroll starting at the stone gateways, letting winding paths lead you past classic tiled Hakka houses and serene lotus ponds. Don’t miss that Insta-worthy tree hung with red blessing ribbons—a splash of color and culture in the midst of tranquil greenery (cloudy days add a moody magic! 🌧️). Snap close-ups of intricate Chinese architecture and lotus blooms for your photo archive. Take time to pause by the riverside pavilions, where reflections add depth to every shot. Must-do: Sample fresh Hakka snacks at local stalls and step into historic buildings for a glimpse of rural craft and life. If it’s rainy, be sure to carry a light raincoat or umbrella—the open courtyards get slick, but watching mist linger over rooflines feels straight out of an old movie. Early visits (before 10 AM) guarantee fewer crowds and quieter photo opportunities, especially in hidden corners. Practical tip: Gankeng Hakka Town is open all day, year-round—perfect for spontaneous detours! Some courtyards may be slippery when wet; comfy, sturdy shoes are a must. Respect local customs, especially when photographing blessing ribbons or residences. #Shenzhen #GankengHakkaTown #OldTownVibes #ChineseArchitecture #TravelChina #happyhalloween
