#discoverchina Location: 璧山区兴旺街53号 (Bishan District, Chongqing) Search for: 璧山露德堂 Opening Hours: 9:00–18:00 Tickets: Free Parking: Free for the first 30 minutes ¥2/hour afterward Max charge: ¥10 About Lourdes Church: Named after the French Notre-Dame de Lourdes, this majestic site was established by French missionaries and is the largest Catholic church in Southwest China. Even though it was raining when I visited on a weekend, the rain actually added to its peaceful, European vibe — and the best part? Hardly any people! My suggested walking route: Once you enter the main gate, turn right and explore counterclockwise. Highlights: Main Church + Exterior Cloister: On the right after entering, the long cloister runs beside the grand chapel. One side: solemn Gothic arches and stained glass; the other side: lush green lawns and a serene lakeside view. Perfect blend of nature and architecture. Photo tip: Cloudy or rainy days bring out the real European mood — great for portraits or moody shots. #travel #naturalwonders

The largest Catholic church in the southwest It is also one of the best preserved Catholic churches. I would like to call it the most beautiful church in Chongqing Chongqing Bishan-Lourdes Church Lourdes Church was first built by a French missionary in 1890 during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. It was destroyed in the anti-foreign movement in 1898. Reconstruction began in 1902 and church activities resumed until after 1949. The architectural style of Lourdes Church is not pure Gothic. Some Chinese architectural elements were incorporated during the construction process. For example, the stone slabs and green tile eaves that are often seen in Chinese architecture are very common in Lourdes Church. The main buildings of the church are the bishop's building, bell tower, teaching building, and front and back gardens, which are connected by corridors. Today, Lourdes Church has become a great place to take photos and check in with its French romantic Gothic and Chinese and Western architecture. Sometimes it is also the most beautiful place for newlyweds to hold weddings.

I took advantage of the good weather in autumn to go traveling, and found another beautiful photo spot - Lourdes Church in Bishan. When I got there, I realized that the building complex was so well preserved and maintained, the area was large, the buildings were beautiful, and there were so many angles to take pictures from! Let me share with you some photography tips here. It’s really great for taking photos. - 📍Address: Lourdes Church, Bishan District There is a parking lot at the door, which is convenient for parking. It is in a village below Bishan, so it is more convenient to drive by yourself. - 📸Photography suggestions: 1️⃣ The weather is good and the photos are better in the morning. The light in the morning is better for taking photos of the buildings behind. 2️⃣The corridor on the right after entering the gate is nice for taking photos ✔️Shoot the extension of the corridor at an angle ✔️Stand at the arch and use two arches as a frame 3️⃣Then walk in and walk to the lawn next to the ancient tree. You can take pictures of one side of the main building on the lawn here. There are chairs on the lawn, and it is very atmospheric to stand or sit. 4️⃣Keep going inside, this area is better for taking photos ✔️Use the cylindrical building as the background to take photos with different styles ✔️The lawn in front of the corner tower, with the corner tower as the background, the camera position should be parallel to the person's face or the camera position should be low and parallel to the person and the corner tower. - 🧥 Outfit suggestions: The architectural style here is already very prominent, so I suggest you choose simple and elegant clothing styles. I paired this black and white sweater and skirt, both from Indicia. Cashmere sweaters are soft and delicate, and are very comfortable to wear next to the body. They are perfect to wear alone in this season. I really need to talk about this skirt. I was worried that it would be too long, but after putting it on, I found that this length of skirt is perfect for petite girls and it really makes me look taller! Although it is a big skirt, the skirt is smooth and does not show the hips. It looks good on pear-shaped figures.
