A Tour of Hu Zhuang Church in the Vicinity of Jinan

There is a very famous church in the vicinity of Jinan, which is said to be reachable by mail from abroad by simply addressing it to Hu Zhuang Church in China. It is one of the three major Catholic holy sites in the country, the Hu Zhuang Catholic Church. ⛪️The church complex is located 8 kilometers south of Pingyin County in Hu Zhuang Village. You can navigate there easily. There are two churches in the village, one at the village committee, and the other is the famous large church on the mountain. Climbing is required, so it is recommended to be prepared for sun protection and mosquito prevention, and to wear sports shoes. The Lourdes Chapel is located at the top of the sharp mountain to the west of Hu Zhuang Village. The entire building is constructed with large blocks of stone, with high-relief floral carvings on the pillars, exquisitely beautiful. The whole complex presents a Gothic architectural style throughout. 🌸On the way down the mountain, the road is flanked by the introduction of the Passion of Christ. Hanging in the church is a certificate issued by the 'Pope of the Vatican'. Normally, the villagers mostly go to the church at the bottom of the mountain, but for important events, they will go to the mountain. The church on the mountain is the original and more attractive. The navigation endpoint is usually the church at the bottom of the mountain. After visiting the church below, you can ask the locals, and they will tell you clearly which road to take to the mountain. Hu Zhuang Church is a place of faith for believers, and although I am not one, I was fortunate to encounter preaching at the church on the mountain. Sitting there quietly listening, it cleansed my heart. It is said that although climbing to the church looks tiring, you don't feel tired at all during the climb. I'm not sure if it's true. I actually climbed up in one go, and one of the friends who had been there before even climbed up in leather shoes without feeling tired at all. It feels magical, and friends who are interested can try it out and share your climbing experience🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️
