Lijiang Gospel Church (福音堂, Fūyīntáng). Unusual syncretic architecture blending Western Christianity with local Naxi and Han Chinese aesthetics. Note the "Gable-and-Hip" roof elements and traditional brickwork integrated with a Latin cross. Originally established by British missionaries from the China Inland Mission (CIM) in the early 20th century (c. 1920s). The CIM, founded by Hudson Taylor, famously required missionaries to adopt Chinese dress and customs to minimize cultural barriers. During the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976), religious activity was suppressed; the building served as a warehouse before being restored and reopened in the 1980s. Today, it operates under the Three-Self Patriotic Movement (TSPM), the state-sanctioned Protestant body in China. Services are often conducted in both Mandarin and the Naxi language. The central sign "福音堂" literally translates to "Hall of the Good News" or "Gospel Hall," the standard term for Protestant churches in the Sinosphere.
