We have been to Shanghai 5 years ago and the church was in renovation. However, we went to the church on a Monday this time and it was closed! We can only see the full church exterior and enjoy the nice garden just in front of the entrance plaza. Flanking the plaza is a modern building, quite a calm minimalist style, as a library. Unfortunately it was also closed on Monday so we have no access to any of the buildings. we also notice that there is an old building nearby as an observatory museum - a decently restored building - but also closed on Monday! its not shown on the Google map but it is there just round the corner of the church. We enjoyed to wander around but would be better to get access to the buildings. Please plan ahead your trip if you come to visit these places.

This is not just a Church but has rich history about China and the west for the last five centuries. St Ignatius Church is the centre of a range of cultural and scientific facilities established by the Jesuits. Now a few remaining are turned to museum and opened for visit. Also this Church, like most churches, are very welcome to public. While some other churches in Shanghai only open its gate during very restricted Sunday service time.

This is a nice building with an interesting history and intriguing architecture. They have recently renovated the lands in front of the Cathedral all the way to the road, and it is a beautiful parklike area with lots of seating to enjoy the view in all directions. It is just steps from one of the Metro exits at Xujiahui station on Line 11.

Was unlucky to come during the renovation time, and in a late evening. Managed to see only the chapel inside the Rev's chaplaincy. Wish i would travel back to this place on another day and see the church in its full glory, but sad that i'm thousands of miles away....!
