1. Beijing Eastern Church

In old times, a church was built in each cardinal direction in the city of Beijing, and the eastern one was Catholic East Church, or Wangfujing Catholic Church. Located in downtown Wangfujing Street, it is one of the best-preserved religious sites in the heart of Beijing. The church was first built in 1665 by two priests and underwent a latest renovation in 2008. Beside the church is a square of 1.2 hectares, where lush trees, grass and sparkling neon lights compliment the gorgeous building at night.
