Bailu is a town in Pengzhou .Its beautiful landscape attacted so many tourists every year but Wenchuan earthquake ruined everything. Now the local government is working hard for the restoration of the tourist economy.The most noteworthy in Bailu is the site of Wenchuan  earthquake.You can find a school  was safe but the gound was risen 3 meters because of the earthquake .The old church and village with French Characteristics  in there are also attractive .
Now many new peasent houses (French architecture) like villa, the life of peasants is better now.

The Shangshuyuan Church is located in Group 2, Huishui Village, Bailu Town, Pengzhou City in Chengdu. Its construction started in 1895 and, after 13 years, it was completed in 1908. The church was built by a French Catholic  missionary and the building occupies a land area of 10440 square metres, including the main building, the north and south foyers and St. Mary's Worshipping Auditorium, which occupied 4434 square metres.
The priests did a wonderful job. They spread the gospel to the villagers with much patience and resilience. They faced the obstacles and real-life struggles as martyrs, and carefully disseminated God's gospel among the villagers. To enhance their evangelism, they even took measures to please the villagers, such as announcing that whoever becomes a Catholic can enjoy free Western medical treatment, and they would help those who did not own any fields to grow crops. They would even send lonely, old people to the nursing home they had set up. Children could go to school for free.
The missionary would also matchmake for those who were single.
As a result, more and more Chinese people walked into the church and had themselves baptised, attended worship services in the church regularly. In the mass hysteria of repentence and prayer, the hope of going to heaven filled the hearts of the villagers.
According to historical writings, during the Ming and Qing dynasties in ancient 
China, there were as many as 10 000 Ca  tholic  believers in Sichuan Province. In Bailu Town, as many as 1000 villagers were baptised. 
In those years many bridegrooms and brides come to the Shangshuyuan Church for wedding photograph. 33 persons(nobody died) for wedding photograph do not forget that time on 14:28 12 May 2008 in Shangshuyuan Church.
