Guangzhou | Sacred Heart Cathedral | Check-in Guide

🌟Guangzhou Sacred Heart Cathedral⛪️, located on Yide Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, is a Catholic church, and also the largest church in the Catholic Diocese of Guangzhou and one of the most magnificent twin spire Gothic buildings in the country. 🌟The history of this cathedral⛪️ can be traced back to 1863, when it was designed by a French designer and took 25 years to complete. The church is modeled after Notre Dame de Paris in France, with a full stone structure, 35 meters wide from east to west, 78.69 meters long from south to north, and 58.5 meters high from the ground to the top of the tower. The interior decoration and facilities of the church are also very distinctive and of historical value. 🌟Its pair of towering spires symbolize ascension to heaven and conversion to God. The spire on the bell tower of the front facade is a style of Gothic church architecture. The spire is a hollow octagonal cone, built with stones, getting steeper as it goes up, and finally piercing the sky like a spire. 🌟In 1996, Guangzhou Sacred Heart Cathedral⛪️ was announced as a national key cultural relic protection unit, which also shows its important position in culture and history. 🚗Transportation: 🚇Take Metro Line 6 to Yide Road Station and walk 300 meters to reach 🚇Take Metro Line 2 to Haizhu Square B1 exit and walk 700 meters to reach 🎫Tickets: No tickets required🆓, no appointment required ⏰Opening hours: Tuesday to Friday 9:00-11:30, 14:30-17:00 Saturday 9:00-14:30 Sunday 13:00-14:30 Closed on Monday❗️ 🕐Mass time 🔸Monday to Friday 6:45 am Cantonese 🔹Saturday 6:45 am Cantonese 3:30 pm Korean 7:30 pm Mandarin 🔸Sunday 6:45 am Cantonese 8:30 am Cantonese 10:30 am Mandarin 3:60 pm English 7:30 pm Mandarin ⚠️Precautions ⚠️Keep quiet🤫 when visiting the church⛪️, and set your mobile phone📱 to silent📵 ⚠️Pay attention to the etiquette of visiting, do not wear inappropriate clothing such as vests, shorts or short skirts. ⚠️Do not use flash when taking photos📷❌ If you come to Guangzhou, you must go and see it, it's really beautiful!!
