The realm of profound mystery.


Xuanwu Gate Church. Established by Matteo Ricci in the 13th year of Wanli, expanded by Antoine Thomson in the 7th year of Shunzhi. Rebuilt after a major fire in the 40th year of Qianlong. Destroyed during the Boxer Rebellion in the 26th year of Guangxu. Reconstructed again in the 30th year of Guangxu.
Truly, in the pages of history, the change of imperial power and the persistence of religion coexist.
