Union Church

鼓浪屿的协和礼拜堂是小岛上最早的教堂⛪️，位于鹿礁路，竣工于1863年。1911年进行翻修，改名为“协和礼拜堂”。协和礼拜堂的外墙上有“爱的箴言”和“十诫”，均来自于创世纪、哥林多前书及出埃及记。著名文学家林语堂先生和妻子廖翠凤曾在此举行婚礼，给教堂蒙上了浪漫的故事。现在很多年轻人喜欢到这里取景拍摄婚纱。

这地儿距离海底世界不远，最初是外国人做礼拜传播宗教的，现在是鼓浪屿上著名的建筑之一，拍婚纱的很喜欢来此取景，周边还有不少西式建筑，风景还不错。

从旧邮政支局走出来，看到不少新人穿着礼服走向同一方向，不到两分钟就见到礼拜堂。果然看见不少人在拍婚纱照。教堂没有开，但外面的空地都是拍照的新人，但说实话，景观只是一般。

鼓浪屿从二十世纪初被强行辟为公共租界，西方列强甚至日本帝国，纷纷在鼓浪屿建立自己的租界，并修建了众多的领事馆，这些形态各异的造就了鼓浪屿这个万国建筑博物馆的称号。外国人的到达，也带来了他们的宗教，这个礼拜堂是东南地位最有名的。

Unfortunately, it is not open to the public. There are ten commandments and love proverbs outside. It is good to take pictures. The Concorde Chapel should be the most unlike the church. I have never seen the top roof of the church without a cross. Such classical design is more like the architectural style of the Greek temple, simple - low-key - practical, without too much decoration, but there is a kind of elegance - solemnity - pure beauty, and the perfect wedding photo background.

Going to Gulangyu to see other people's brides is a joke, but you will indeed see many brides taking wedding photos here, especially in front of Concorde Chapel. European-style architecture with wedding dress, wonderful, in front of the door "love proverb" also means the marriage Concorde beauty.

The appearance is simple and the inside is very exotic. Stained glass, bronze chandeliers, everything is like a scene in a movie. Imagining the wedding photos taken inside must be very artistic.
