Xitang Christian Church is located within the ancient town’s Sianxian Temple Alley. The church faces east and west, with a width of four rooms and a seven-beam structure, with an additional two beams added to the north side. The beam frame is in the shape of an inverted ‘V’, and the entire structure is made of bricks and wood, with blue bricks covering the floor. Previously known as the Gospel Hall, the church has existed since before 1944 and has been continuously maintained from then until now.
On the southwest side of the church, there are two floors and two basements (divided by five beams), which were originally used as the resting and office space for the priests. The doors and windows have been renovated in their entirety. The facade of the church has been rebuilt since the 1980s. Across from Chaodongdai Street, there is a Christian dining hall facing west, with six rooms (one of which is a wood room) in a single-story building. On Sundays, a considerable number of elderly people still come here to attend worship services. The opening hours and specific business status are subject to the day’s opening conditions.
