Stumble upon a Catholic church hidden deep in the Qinling Mountains|||

|||. Wuqianling|Stumble upon a Catholic church hidden deep in the Qinling Mountains👣|||⛰ The majestic Zhongnan Mountain is beautiful, rich in resources, and has a deep culture. It is not only the birthplace of Buddhism and Taoism, but also has a place for Western Christianity... 📍 In Wuqian Village, Jiangcun Town, Huyi District, 1.5 hours from Xi'an, there is a spectacular Mount Mary, which occupies a mountain in the Qinling Zhongnan Mountain. It has a wide view and a panoramic view of Xi'an City. It is large in scale and very spectacular. Today, I will take you to check in this secret place in the deep mountains🚶‍♀️ - [Mount Mary] In 1930, the Italian missionary Dai Xiade saw that this mountain was similar to Calvary, where Jesus was crucified, and wanted to build a church here. Unfortunately, he died of illness here two years later. In 1946, the new priest Lu Jiusi led the believers to complete the wish of the former priest and built the church. It was later destroyed and rebuilt in 1999 after many hardships. For some reason, it has not been completely completed. - The terrain here is high and magnificent. It is a rare Catholic church in the northern foothills of the Qinling Mountains. There are also scattered building materials and statues in the courtyard, which have a kind of broken and incomplete beauty. It is unknown when the priests and nuns in the wooden frame box will be free. This place has a wide view and is an excellent place to enjoy the sunrise and sunset and shoot the starry sky. - [Travel Guide] ➡Distance: 15 km O-shaped crossing (about 6 km of cement road) 📈Elevation: 900 m 🔎Difficulty: ★★★☆☆ 🚶‍♀️Suitable for: Beginners
