Was keen to go inside this cathedral, so much so it was the first place I visited on my trip to Tianjin. It is on a back road behind a row of big name shops. It was closed when I arrived, and seemingly had very limited opening hours so I didn't manage to go inside which is a shame. A beautiful exterior none the less.

This church offered a good halfway stop for walking between the Five Great Avenues area and the Porcelain House. The church is well appointed and cool inside. It is free to enter the church area. I wouldn't say to go out of your way for the church but it was a convenient stop for us while in Tianjin. There are some shops and cafes across the street including a Starbucks with a second story that has a good view of the church. Closest metro station is Yingkoudao. Plan to spend maybe half an hour here.
