Photo taken on Oct. 23, 2009 shows the outside view of the Cizhong Catholic Church in
Yanmen Township of Deqin County in southwest China's Yunnan Province. First built
in 1867 and rebuilt in 1909, the Cizhong Catholic Church is a model which combines
the architecture features of both western countries and China's Tibet, Han and Bai
ethnic groups. The church and its wing-room, gate, cellar and grape yard were well
preserved by local government. It was listed as the key national cultural protection
relics by the State Council in 2006.
