Sacred Heart Cathedral of Dali

The Sacred Heart Cathedral features Chinese architectural elements combined with Western religious design principles, creating a distinctive structure in Yunnan Province.

Built in 1927 by French missionaries, the cathedral underwent reconstruction in 1984 following damage sustained during the Cultural Revolution period.

The cathedral's design incorporates local architectural influences while maintaining traditional Catholic religious elements, representing the fusion of Eastern and Western traditions.

Located at 6 Xinmin Road in Dali Ancient City, the cathedral holds regular services for the local Catholic community of approximately 5,000 members.

The State Council of China designated this religious structure as a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level in October 2019.
