Fanchuanpu Catholic Church

From Yantai Mountain, I saw this attraction not far away, so I went around. There were few tourists. There were a few children playing hide-and-seek and playing badminton. I personally liked it. I took pictures and made movies. By the way, a small road in it was very inconspicuous and easy to miss.

Pan Shippo Catholic Church was founded in the Qing Dynasty. The architectural style is a mix of Gothic and Roman style, so the grandeur. After a hundred years of storms and rain, several renovations, showing the development of Catholicism.

Pan Shippo Catholic Church, I would like to call it a bead in Fuzhou. The Gothic church built during the Tongzhi period has a history of more than 150 years. Now I see the buildings rebuilt during the Republic of China, which combines Gothic and Roman styles and complete Western taste. The moment you walk into the church, you are deeply shocked. The church is large, surrounded by colorful glass and cement columns, the statue of the Virgin and the railings of Han white jade, holy and quiet, and the interior is well preserved. Jesus' deeds are explained in a concise way through stained glass, and there are five altars large and small, which can be slowly appreciated. Note: Monday to Friday is not open. At 6 am and 7 pm, churches and believers do mass, that time can enter. There are Sundays and church doors are open. If you want to visit, you can tell the volunteers in front of the church that they will take you in and explain. The volunteers are very enthusiastic and can ask more if you want to know. Panchuanpu Catholic Church covers a large area, there is a square, there is time to see the surrounding area, the Catholic atmosphere is still very strong. It is not far from Yantai Mountain, and you can walk to Yantai Mountain Scenic Area in ten minutes. If you are interested, there is also a stone church there, which is eight years earlier than Pan Shippo, but unfortunately it is not open for many years. Come out from the church door, don't forget to take a brochure to the volunteers, there is a detailed introduction to Catholic Jesus and Pan Shippo. In addition, Easter and Christmas, there will be grand activities here, interested can experience again.

Pan-boat Pu Heavenly Church is sitting in the South and north of China, facing the Minjiang River with great momentum. It used to be one of the starting points of China's maritime silk road. From here, Chinese silk, porcelain and black tea were transported to Europe and became Royal tribute. It was a Fuzhou proverb at that time. The church lobby is a Gothic cross-shaped building with a 3-meter-high cross on the top of the bell tower. The repaired church keeps the original church to the maximum extent. The crystal chandeliers on the roof are customized from abroad according to the original shape, and a large number of murals are in the original position. Eleven European-style columns stand side by side in the church. Each column of the vault radiates four arched square timbers, intersecting with stars at the vault. On both sides and the upper windows of the altar, there are eight coloured icons painted in three glass rooms at the front. Now Pan Boat Pu Catholic Church has Mass at 6 a.m. every day, Bible class every Tuesday evening, Eucharist pilgrimage every Thursday evening, Mudao class every Friday evening, pre-marital counseling class every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, double holidays every week, and holiday evangelism group also receives visits.

When I first got to the front door, I was too holy to enter. Around the back to see a lot of people in the leisure and entertainment, and then around the main door into. The Gothic style building is very beautiful. There are new people taking wedding photos outside the main building. The building is open only on weekends. When I entered, I was shocked by the sacredness and beauty. The missionaries were charitable and gentle. They patiently told stories about Jesus and gave me a Bible. Although I don't believe in religion, I think that existence is reasonable. I would like to know more about such a religion which spreads goodness and beauty.
