St. Joseph’s Church: A Peaceful Spot in the Heart of Beijing

#summervacay Just along the busy Wangfujing shopping street in Beijing stands St. Joseph’s Church also known as Wangfujing Catholic Church. This beautiful old church was first built in the 1600s and still welcomes visitors with its grey brick walls, tall towers and peaceful charm. It’s one of the oldest Catholic churches in the city and has a quiet square in front where people sit, rest, or take photos. The mix of Western and Chinese design makes it stand out among the modern shops nearby. Whether you're exploring the area or just looking for a quiet place to pause, this church is a lovely spot to visit.
