'White Deer') is a town under the administration of Pengzhou, Sichuan, China.

[1] As of 2018[update], it has one residential community and eight villages under its administration.

[2] Bailu has been developed into a so-called "French town" due to its French Catholic heritage, according to Xianghui Liao, however, the real reason for this designation is to serve tourism and economic development: "This led to the commercialization of once authentic religious sites for tourism and economic development as part of the secularization process.

[...] Catholicism's public influence on tourism and economic development has been increasing, while its activities and church attendance have not followed synchronously.
