Lonely Planet review for Cathedral of the Sacred Heart

The French were granted permission to build this cathedral after the second Opium War. The twin-spired Roman Catholic cathedral was designed in the neo-Gothic style and built entirely of granite, with massive towers that reach a height of 48m. Take metro line 2 to Haizhu Sq.

    For the architectural major it's a must see! Had some trouble getting there. Not a lot of Cab drivers knew what it was, but once I found one that did, no problem. It's definitely a step out of China both because of the architecture and the ethnic diversity. I didn't get to see much of the inside of the Cathedral because it is an active establishment and church was in session.
