Tibetan Buddhist holy land meets Catholic church

There is a beautiful and quiet mountain village in the Lancang River Gorge - Cizhong Village. This is the heartland of Tibetan Buddhism - Weixi, Shangri-La. However, Cizhong Village is famous for the Cizhong Catholic Church. The Cizhong Catholic Church was built by French missionaries. It is located in the wooded hillside. There are grape plantations and wine factories in the front and back villages. The building complex is integrated with the natural landscape and is unique. The church architecture is a combination of Chinese and Western styles. There are bell towers, crosses and chapels supported by arcades. There are also Chinese pavilions and gatehouses with flying eaves and corners. You can overlook the panoramic view of Cizhong and the surrounding mountains and village houses!
