The St Joseph's Church of Beijing is a church located along the famous Wangfujing Street in Beijing. It is also known as the East Cathedral. Located at 74 Wangfujing Street, it is one of the most important churches in Beijing.
St Joseph's Church was built in 1655 over the site of the resident of the Jesuit missionary Adam Schall von Bell (1591-1669). The original church is long gone, as is many subsequent rebuildings, the result of earthquakes, fires and the Boxer Rebellion.
The St Joseph's Church that we see today is the result of a US$2 million makeover carried out recently. It stands before an open courtyard with an arched entranceway.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
