The Xujiahui Catholic Church in Shanghai is full of European-style Gothic architecture, double gabled design with red brick walls, and backed by modern high-rise buildings. Near the church is Shanghai's Xujiahui College, which has a profound historical and academic atmosphere. The exterior design of the college is simple and elegant, the environment is quiet and surrounded by green trees, which is perfect for walking and taking photos. Tour route recommendations: You can arrange to go to the Catholic Church on Sunday morning to attend Sunday Mass to feel the religious atmosphere and architectural beauty. The space inside the church is open, the stained glass windows are illuminated by the sun, and the atmosphere is particularly solemn and quiet. The best photo spots outside are the main entrance and the left and right sides, including close-ups of the double gables—the tall gables with modern city backdrops are very distinctive. After visiting the church, you can take a slow walk along Puxi Road to Xujiahui College (about 5 minutes walk), which has a rich collection of books, a quiet reading area, a cultural and creative products area and a small exhibition space. The old building of the college blends with modern design, which is very eye-catching for taking pictures. When you are tired from walking, you can sit in the lounge area of the college and enjoy coffee and slowly enjoy a moment of tranquility. Must-play highlights: 1. Deep feel the Gothic design of the church, carefully appreciate the exterior stone carvings, colored windows details 2. The reading space in the college experiences the feeling of “urban peachland”, where you can read books and participate in small exhibitions 3. In front of the church, outside the college and under the shade of the trees are popular photo spots Attraction Tips: - The church is closed on Mondays and Sundays, with Sunday Masses on Sundays (7:30 mid, 10:00 mid, 12:00 English, 18:00 mid) - Church visits are from Tuesday to Saturday 09:00-15:30 - Dress appropriately and avoid loud noises when entering the church - Xujiahui is a bustling area with convenient transportation Notes: - Church events or some areas are not open for visits - Flash lights are not allowed in the hall, photography is not allowed in some areas - The college emphasizes quiet reading, please keep a soft voice - Lots of restaurants and coffee shops near the attraction - Both the college and the church have washrooms and basic facilities are convenient Topic: #Shanghai Photography New Landmark #Urban and History Fusion #Church Architectural Aesthetics #College Reading Time #Xujiahui Day Trip
