TianJin Trip: Xikai Cathedral

Our third stop in Tianjin is the Xikai Cathedral. We learned our lesson - we took a cab from the Food street to the Cathedral. No more walking. Just tell the driver to go to Xikai Jiaotang - they'll know where to go.

From chinatoday.com: Also known as the French Cathedral, this building is on Binjiang Road in Heping District. It is 45 meters tall and is both a cathedral, built in 1914 and a church, built three years later. It covers an area of 1,585 square meters. Xikai Cathedral is the largest church in Tianjin and has been recently refurbished.
