This isn't Europe, it's Shenyang in Northeast China! So picturesque!

Shenyang is such a charming place. I've been exploring Shenyang for the past couple of days, and I stumbled upon a hidden gem that's not only incredibly photogenic but also feels like I'm abroad! 🔍 Shenyang Little South Catholic Church Also known as Shenyang Catholic Church or Nanguan Catholic Church, it's colloquially called "Western Mansion." Located at No. 40 Nanlejiao Road, Shenhe District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, it was built in the first year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty. It's a typical Gothic building from the European Renaissance period. Shenyang Catholic Church was designed by Father Liang Hengli, a graduate of the University of Paris. The church is situated in the center, 66.3 meters long from north to south and 17.2 meters wide from east to west. It's a Gothic structure with two bell towers reaching towards the sky, about 45 meters high. Almost every corner is a great photo spot. The entire church isn't particularly large, but every angle is beautiful. The magnificent exterior and Western architectural aesthetics create a sense of solemnity and reverence. Recommended photo spots📸 1. The front of the church is very majestic, perfectly showcasing the beauty of the architecture. 2. The three pillars at the back of the church offer a panoramic view. 3. I recommend taking photos from the side, which gives it a mysterious, Hogwarts-in-Northeast-China vibe. Outfit suggestions: Black sunglasses and a trench coat create a cool, dark look. Or a European retro long dress would also look great. 💰 Free🆓 Route recommendation: From the Marshal Zhang's Mansion, it's a ten-minute walk or a short taxi ride for ten yuan.
