    Dali Ancient City Catholic Church enters in a small alley in the middle and lower section of Renmin Road in Dali Ancient City. Get off at Renmin Road on the 4th or Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas (2 yuan). Follow Renmin Road and go down, pass the intersection of Bo'ai, then pass the intersection of Fuxing, continue down, pay attention to the road signs on the right. Tickets are not required here, but they are not open for visits at night. After turning right on Renmin Road, walk through the long alley, about 20-30 meters, you can see the obvious signs. From the door is the model of ancient Bai architecture, with the introduction of the church and the history on both sides. After entering the door, there is a hotel on the right, and on the left is a long blackboard with some Catholic stories. The most eye-catching is the church of the front Lord. The style of the building is known to be a church built in the Bai area. Perfect blend of the church's architectural culture and the Bai architecture. Very interesting. Looking closer, there are two pairs of pairs written by Zhang Wenchang on the pillar at the door, respectively, "Welcome to the Canglinyi Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter at four times to restore the solemnity of the creation, and thank the storming period of the wind, flowers and snow and moon years do not carry the essence of the gospel" and "Two sexes in one body and one body with two sexes This is the characteristics of Christ. One is three and three is one. This is the mystery of the Lord. "Enter the church, there is holy water on the right, and there is free information on the left. The magic is that there is no feeling outside, but as soon as you enter the teaching, you can hear the music of a very comfortable prayer, and just sit here and listen quietly to that sound, and the whole person suddenly calm down. Maybe it was a glitz to walk in here, but it was calm when it came out, so this is a magical place. In addition, the architectural styles on the top and left and right sides of the teaching are also very white, which is very solemn.
