Wuxing Street Catholic Church
This Catholic church, located on Wuxing Street in Xi'an, has a history of over 300 years and is the main church of Xi'an. When you walk beneath it, you will be moved by its architecture; it's an indescribable feeling. Usually, when you enter the church, it is very quiet inside. Wooden chairs and an old piano stand quietly in the corners. Devout believers kneel under the statues, softly reading the Bible. The roof soars high, and light filters through the stained glass. Note: When entering the church, do not wear short skirts, shorts, slippers, or tank tops. Photography is not allowed inside the church but is permitted outdoors.
Guangren Temple
The only Tibetan Buddhist temple in Xi'an—Guangren Temple, has a white stupa representing the symbol of Tibetan Buddhism standing at its entrance. As you walk into the temple, the red temple buildings appear particularly beautiful under the blue sky. The five-colored prayer flags flutter in the wind, and the sound of chanting scriptures continuously resonates within the temple, penetrating deep into the heart with a calming power. I spent an entire afternoon here. Guangren Temple is located at the edge of the city, and you can take photos of the temple from outside the city walls, but be sure not to take photos inside.
