Located at 1-1 Jiulimutou, Zhoushan East Road, Gongshu District, Hangzhou, the Gongchen Church was built before the establishment of the People's Republic of China, with the religious background of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. It is adjacent to various provincial and municipal higher education institutions, such as Zhejiang Shuren University and Zhejiang University City College. It was named by Rev. Deng Fucun, the former chairman of the Hangzhou Christian Three-Self Patriotic Movement Committee. The pictures depict Gongchen Church's Christmas decorations as well as its inside and outdoor scenery.
