Located
at
Yide
Road
near
the
Haizhu
Square
in
the
city
center,
this
beautiful
over
130-year-old
Roman
Catholic
cathedral
is
a
holy
and
peaceful
site
in
the
bustling
and
busy
urban
area.
From
our
hotel
at
Qiaoguang
road,
we
walked
here
within
15mins
of
leisurely
paced
walk.
The
cathedral
was
nice,
aka
the
Notre
Dame
of
Guangzhou
(similarly
to
that
in
Ho
Chi
Minh
City)
with
the
same
architectural
style.
Unfortunately,
on
the
day
of
our
visit,
the
Cathedral
was
closed
to
the
public
for
some
private
events
and
so
we
could
not
stand
outside
to
take
photos
and
read
the
intro
from
the
information
plagues.
And
along
the
section
of
the
cathedral
was
small
square
with
2
rows
of
shophouses
and
cafes
and
right
next
was
a
long
stretch
of
shophouses
selling
dried
foods,
toys
and
stationery
which
was
very
crowded,
noisy
and
full
of
vibes
but
within
the
cathedral
area,
it
was
quiet
and
peaceful,
what
a
contrast,
all
within
100-120m
of
distance!
