Shamian Christian Church

Shamian Christian Church (Chinese: 沙面基督教堂; pinyin: Shmian Jīdūjiàotáng) is a Protestant church located in Shamian, Liwan District of Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.

It was located in the Shamian Guangzhou British Concession.

After World War II, the Nationalist Government retracted the concession and handed the church over to the South China Diocese of the Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui, or Anglican Church in China.

[1][2] Following the Chinese Communist Revolution, the local government took custody of the Shamian Christian Church.

After the 3rd plenary session of the 11th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party in 1978, a policy of some religious freedom was implemented.
