Stop asking, I haven't been to Europe; this is Xujiahui

⛪️ The cathedral in Xujiahui, which I've passed by countless times from the outside, I finally went inside for a visit yesterday. It turns out that there is a Catholic church in Shanghai that resembles those in Europe— 👉🏻 St. Ignatius Cathedral/Xujiahui Catholic Church 📍 158 Puxi Road, Xujiahui (near Wending Road) 🚇 190 meters walk from Exit 3 of Xujiahui Station on Line 1 ⏰ Tuesday to Saturday 09:00—15:00 Closed on Sundays and Mondays 💒 This century-old historic building was constructed during the Qing Dynasty's Guangxu period, featuring Gothic spires, a grand interior scale, colorful window lattices, and not a single statue of Jesus or the Virgin Mary is missing. 🇪🇺 Whether wandering inside or lingering around it, there's an illusion of being in Europe. ✅ Silence must be maintained during the visit. ✅ Weddings can be held in the church. ✅ There are masses on weekdays, and on Sundays and Catholic holidays, there are multiple ceremonies. During the four major Catholic festivals, there are often large-scale ceremonies, especially during Christmas.
