Gulangyu - Trinity Church

Looking up, I saw a white triangle and a red cross sticking out of the wall. Under the reflection of the blue sky, it was particularly charming. Walking to the front, I found that it was the roof of Trinity Church.

The walls are dominated by red bricks, with square columns and long windows, a three-dimensional cross shape, a strong sense of lines, simplicity and clarity, which is different from the gorgeous Catholic churches that we usually see.

There are five churches on Gulangyu Island, Trinity Church is one of them. The other four churches are Concord Chapel, Catholic Church, Gospel Church, Fuxing Church.

The church is more than 70 years old. The entire roof is made of pure steel structure and there is not a single pillar in the house.

By chance, there was a church service going on there, so I was able to go inside and take a look.

Out of respect for religious beliefs, no interior photography was done.

Coming out of Bishan Cave is the famous Trinity Church, which means that three churches jointly built it. It is said to have been built in 1934. The building looks very new and should have been renovated. We did not go in these days because we are not believers and it is not appropriate to enter casually.

The church on Gulangyu Island is basically closed to the public and you can only admire the exterior of the entire building from the wall.

I passed by and took photos, but I couldn't go in. The appearance was still quite beautiful.

It was a memorial to 21 people at the beach, but I can’t remember who they were. I remember that I felt quite emotional at the time.

Trinity Church is a red and white brick church with a beautiful appearance. It can accommodate thousands of churchgoers and weddings are often held there on weekends.

Trinity Church* This is easy to find, but it is usually closed.

There is a cemetery next to it...

I came across Trinity Church, with red brick walls, white roof, blue sky above and green shade below, which was particularly refreshing. It symbolizes the joint construction of three churches and also contains the doctrine of the Trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

This is a relatively iconic building on Gulangyu Island. Unfortunately, it was not open when I went there. I think the church among the international buildings must be worth seeing.

The architecture is very distinctive and worth a visit. The feeling in Gulangyu Island is not much different, and the same is true for Trinity Church.

There are many churches on Gulangyu Island, and Trinity Church is one of them, located at No. 67, Anhai Road, Gulangyu Island. Trinity Church not only means that three churches were jointly built, but also contains the doctrine of the Trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

As the morning glow rises, you can see a pink brick building with gables on each side. Under the gables, there are three gates about 3 meters high divided by square columns, with a window on each side. The architecture of Trinity Church is very unique, presenting a three-dimensional cross shape, with an octagonal bell tower in the middle. The overall building is very beautiful, with a Western classical revival style that combines Chinese and Western styles.

Since Trinity Church is only open to the public on weekends, we can only admire its beauty of sunrise and sunset from a distance. We will visit its interior next time if we have the chance.

　

　　

Every aspect of the Trinity Church building is exactly the same. It is the largest Christian church in Fujian.

Just on Gulangyu Island, I accidentally walked here.

A very beautiful little church, but you can only see the exterior because it is only open to the public on weekends

This church was built more than 20 years ago. The entire roof is made of pure steel structure, and there is no pillar in the house. It's a pity that I didn't come across a worship service. I really hope to go inside the church to see how beautiful it is.

It is a Christian church that is only open for worship on weekends.

This is a Christian church. The green trees, blue sky and red walls are a perfect match!

Trinity Church is under repair and cannot be visited, which is a pity.

The first attraction we passed was Trinity Church, a Protestant church built in 1934. It is made of red bricks and has a white roof. It was named Trinity Church after the doctrine of the Trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. It was closed on Sunday and we were unable to visit.

I accidentally saw it while walking on the streets of Gulangyu Island. It is not a must-see attraction, but the architectural style is quite unique.

Trinity Church is located near Bishan Cave. This church is quite beautiful.

The buildings in Gulangyu are called Wanbo Buildings. Many buildings on the island have a strong European style. The three major column styles of ancient Greece, Doric, Ionic and Corinthian, are displayed in their own styles. Roman columns, Gothic spires, Islamic domes, Baroque reliefs are full of classicism and romanticism. Therefore, the buildings are still very beautiful.

Trinity Church on Gulangyu Island is very big and beautiful.

I passed by and checked in, but unfortunately the gate was closed and I couldn't go in to see it.

I have always been deeply fascinated by churches, solemn and romantic~

This is a very distinctive building on Gulangyu Island. I was lucky enough to see it when I passed by.

It's beautiful and religious. I took the wedding photos here.

Trinity Church is a Christian church with red bricks and a white roof. The entire building has simple and clear lines and is quite American in style.

Xiamen Christian Trinity Church is currently the only church on Gulangyu Island that has gatherings. Due to the successful application of Gulangyu Island for World Heritage status, the interior of the church is not open to the public for renovation. Also, due to the BRICS meeting, the entire Xiamen city is temporarily scheduled to be renovated, so the Sunday gatherings are temporarily held in the concert hall. You can go and listen to the gospel 😊

Trinity Church is on Gulangyu Island. It was not open to the public when I visited, but it looks very distinctive from the outside.

The exterior is quite beautiful. I seemed to be in a hurry to go to Haoyue Garden at that time, so I didn't stay here for long, but it is really beautiful from the outside.

After visiting the island, I passed Trinity Church again on the way back to the hotel (because I passed it in the morning..), which should be near Bishan Cave. It seemed that it was not open, so I did not go in. I looked at the front door and thought that this church was quite beautiful. I don’t know anything else_(:3 」∠ )_

I didn't go in, but it looked like a beautiful building from the outside. The buildings on Gulangyu Island are all very distinctive.

Trinity Church not only means that three churches jointly built it, but also contains the doctrine of the Trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. However, when I went there, the door was closed and I didn't know what was going on inside.

I don't know why Trinity Church was not open today, so I could only look at it from the outside and take two photos.

An old lady who came here as a volunteer was particularly amiable. She introduced that this was the earliest church on Gulangyu Island and that Lin Yutang and his wife were married here. The church was not big and not luxurious, but it always made people feel quiet.

It seems that I can't get into Trinity Church, so I just walked around the entrance. If you want to go, you can check how to get there in advance.

Trinity Church is a unique building. The white roof and red walls mainly constitute the exterior appearance of the church. Passing by this place, many newlyweds choose this place as a holy place to take wedding photos.

Passing by ~ Many newlyweds took photos at the door ~ Great photos ~

It seems to be a well-known scenic spot on Gulangyu Island. Those who come to the island to take wedding photos will use this place as the background.

I got there using Baidu Maps navigation. It's not far, but it's a pity I got there a little late, otherwise I heard you can go in on weekends.

Trinity Church is a Christian church on Gulangyu Island. There are rows of seats outside the church, which is very convenient for eating and resting outside. It took a total of 66 years from construction to completion.

The main building of Trinity Church was basically completed in 1934 (due to various reasons, the decoration of the ceiling and the octagonal bell tower on the roof were delayed until the autumn of 1945). On January 8, 1935, the three church presidents and directors held a meeting at the Xiamen YMCA, and the Xiamen District Council also sent people to participate. The meeting decided to name the new church "Trinity Church". Trinity Church not only means that the three churches jointly built it, but also contains the doctrine of the Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

The architectural style is beautiful, but it was not open when we went and we couldn't go in to visit.

A church on Gulangyu Island, which can only be viewed from the outside but not entered. It is particularly beautiful when the red flowers on the island are in bloom.

When we entered, there were many people worshipping. We listened for a while and felt a little moved when they sang hymns. When it was over, we asked if we could take photos. The priest was very kind and let us visit the church.

A very new church, it doesn't seem to have any special features

Um, the house number says No. 71 Anhai Road, but actually it’s just 7-8 minutes’ walk along Quanzhou Road to the left of the Linwu gate, and at the fork of Yongchun Road is Trinity Church. You can’t find Anhai Road or this road on the map! !

The red walls and white roofs look like Roman triangular roofs, with a European vibe. The occasional two or three coconut trees give it a villa feel. It is right next to the Bishan Cave. However, this place is also closed and you can't go in, but you can take photos outside to get a glimpse of the magnificence of the church.

Current status of Trinity Church: Brand new, still in use, probably only open on Sundays, closed on weekdays

I can only see it from the outside, so I don't know what it looks like inside.

The English name is "Trinity Church". Trinity means the so-called "Holy Trinity", which means the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Trinity Church belongs to the Church of England, which is one of the Protestant denominations. When I passed by, the door was closed and I couldn't enter. I have seen many churches in Europe, and this kind of churches in China can be completely ignored.

It's not far from the Organ Museum. I just looked at it from the outside and didn't go in.

Trinity Church is located on Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, with the address at No. 67 Anhai Road. It is a national key cultural relic site, and its architecture is quite distinctive: a tall pointed roof, white color, and a cross reaching into the sky. It didn’t seem to be open that day, but the newlyweds were seen taking photos at the door!

It's just so-so, just a building, I don't quite understand its beauty.

Trinity Church is located at No. 67, Anhai Road, Gulangyu Island. It is a very beautiful church with red brick walls, snow-white roof, and dignified elegance. Trinity Church is not only a representative building of modern Gulangyu Island, but also a national key cultural relic protection unit. Trinity Church is still a church on Gulangyu Island and is not open as a tourist attraction. At dusk, Trinity Church in the twilight looks more peaceful and tranquil.

I really like this kind of old-style building. It looks beautiful no matter how you photograph it.

Trinity Church is a church that was built in 1934 with donations from church members.

The landmark building on the island is closed at night, so couples can go there to pray devoutly.

A church in Gulangyu is not open to the public. Only the exterior view is available.

It just so happens that some people hold weddings here, and some people take wedding photos here. I think no matter whether they get married or take wedding photos here, they should be happy people.

Trinity Church, where many couples take wedding photos. At that time, there was a little girl playing the piano in the small house next to the church.

It is not open to the public, but it looks very nice and solemn.

It was my first time listening to a sermon in church and singing hymns. It was a wonderful feeling.

It seemed like someone was doing some promotion at the door, so I went in, took a quick look without taking a closer look, and then came out.

The location is obviously a traffic fortress. I couldn't find the way back several times, so I found it through him.

Trinity Church is mainly for Christians. When we went there, the door was closed during the weekend, so we could only look at it from the outside. However, we saw their activities on the notice board, and there are many activities during the summer vacation~~

A very unique church on Gulangyu Island. Many people took wedding photos here, but I didn't go in to take a look.

Trinity Church is a famous Christian church located at No. 71, Anhai Road, Gulangyu Island. Gulangyu Trinity Church was built in 1934 by believers living on Gulangyu Island from three churches: Xinjie Church and Zhushu Church of the American Reformed Church and Xiagang Church of the British Presbyterian Church. The name Trinity Church indicates that it is the product of the integration of three churches, which is also in line with the doctrine of the Trinity. In order to avoid confusion with Gulangyu Gospel Church, the name of the Gulangyu church was not adopted.

This is a Western-style church designed and built by the Chinese. It is a brick and stone structure. The plan layout is a right cross, and the facades in four directions are basically the same. In the center of the church, a lighting dome is designed on the ridge of the right cross. The red wall is decorated with smooth triangular lines, and the twelve doors and sixteen windows on the four sides are very wide, which has practical features of ventilation, lighting, and evacuation. No matter from which angle you look at it, its magnificent and extraordinary momentum is breathtaking.

I always feel that all the churches in Xiamen are on Gulangyu Island. This church is my favorite. The house number is No. 67 Anhai Road. In fact, it is just about 100 meters from the entrance of the cave. It is very magnificent and can accommodate thousands of people at the same time. In the center is a dome with a diameter of ten meters, like a big speaker. There is a stereo effect. The indoor sound quality is excellent, so this building not only has architectural functions, but also contains rich acoustic effects. If you are lucky enough to catch the opening, try speaking in the center. The echo experience is good.

Every Christmas Eve, many people come to this Christian church on Gulangyu Island to celebrate. This church has the best Christian choir in the country, and 90% of the members are music professionals. Even for non-believers, it is a wonderful concert.

But please note that it is only open to the public on weekends; Sunday 9:00-18:00; Saturday 16:00-20:00. There is also a choir on weekends, so you must experience it if you have time. It is said that the choir is composed of residents of Gulangyu Island.

It must be said that it is a place with a story, but for someone like me who is obsessed with scenery, it has no appeal.

There are many wedding photos lined up around here. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. The door may not be open. From the outside. The overall feeling is still good

The white roof and red walls are very beautiful. It is open to tourists after 2 pm every Saturday. On other days, you can only take pictures of the exterior through the fence.

The architecture of Trinity Church is unique, with a rare three-dimensional cross shape. On the yellow tile roof with drainage in all directions, an octagonal bell tower stands in the middle, and the top cross rises high into the sky. The red walls are decorated with smooth triangular lines, and there are twelve doors and sixteen windows on all four sides, which are very large and have practical features of ventilation, lighting and evacuation. No matter from which angle you look at it, its magnificent and extraordinary momentum is breathtaking.

Trinity Church is a church located on Anhai Road, Gulangyu Island. It is a pink brick building. Each side has a gable, and the lower part of the gable is divided into three 3-meter-high gates by square columns, with a window on each side.

I heard music and a pastor in the lecture hall, so I went in and sat down to listen for a while~~~

My favorite church on Gulangyu Island, pure white, beautiful no matter how you take pictures. Unfortunately, it is still closed.

There is a service at Trinity Church on the island on Sundays. Going in and listening to the music is quite spiritually inspiring.
