Who understands? This church in Guangzhou is always crowded, but it's still so popular!

Sacred Heart Cathedral is located on Yide Road in downtown Guangzhou, adjacent to Beijing Road Pedestrian Street. It is very convenient to get there. Take Exit D of Haizhu Square Station on Metro Line 2 and walk for about 10 minutes. There are many bus stops nearby, so no matter which direction you're coming from, you can easily find your way here. 【Attraction Introduction】 This Gothic-style cathedral was built in 1863 and took 25 years to complete. It is one of the largest and most exquisite churches in China. The entire cathedral is built of granite and blue bricks, with twin spires that pierce the sky. The interior is spacious and bright, with sunlight streaming through the stained glass windows, adding a touch of warmth and mystery to the solemn atmosphere. Every Sunday during Mass, the cathedral is filled with believers and tourists, who come together to witness the beauty of faith. 【Recommended Local Cuisine】 After visiting Sacred Heart Cathedral, you can head to the nearby Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street to taste authentic Guangzhou snacks. There are famous tea houses such as Tao Tao Ju and Lianxiang Lou, where you can enjoy a traditional Cantonese breakfast. Order a few cages of crystal-clear shrimp dumplings or try some smooth and delicious rice noodle rolls. There are also various dessert shops waiting for you, such as double-skin milk and red bean paste, to satisfy all your sweet fantasies. 【Recommended Nearby Attractions】 In addition to Sacred Heart Cathedral, there are many other places worth visiting nearby. For example, you can go to the Pearl River to enjoy the night view of the "Little Waist" of the Canton Tower, or go to Shamian Island to experience the exotic atmosphere, where there are many well-preserved European-style buildings. There is also the modern Tianhe Sports Center, which is a great place to go for a walk or relax. 【Recommended Photo Spots】 Want to take a great photo? It is recommended to go in the evening, when the light is soft and perfect for taking photos of people and buildings. Stand in the square opposite the cathedral, with the entire building as a backdrop, and you're sure to capture unforgettable images. Also, don't forget to go inside the cathedral and capture the colorful light and shadow cast by the stained glass windows, which will add endless artistic charm to your photos.
