Sanyitang is a church. It is a building with pink brick walls. Each side has a gable. Below the gable, there are three gates as high as 3 meters divided by square columns. There is a window on each side. The appearance of the not-too-large church is very beautiful and it is really worth visiting.
The church presents a rare cross-three-dimensional shape. There is an octagonal bell tower standing in the middle of the yellow-tiled roof, with a cross towering on the top. The interior features a roof truss with a column-free steel beam arch. It is centered. The interior is spacious and bright. The auditorium can accommodate about a thousand seats. In the center is a dome with a diameter of 10 meters, which looks like a big horn. The indoor acoustic effect is great. Therefore, this building not only has architectural functions but also contains rich acoustic effects.
