Bailu is a town in Pengzhou .Its beautiful landscape attacted so many

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.
