Introduction to Fangji Pavilion Memorial Garden: Fangji Pavilion Memorial Garden is located on a hillside on the seaside of Elephant Trunk Mountain. From a distance, you can see a small Gothic church standing on the seaside. The exquisite spire is hidden among the trees, which makes it look like a foreign country. The garden is full of charm. Every plant, tree, pillar and stone in the garden is exquisite and lovely. You can see the blue sea and sky from the railing, and the fishing sails are dotted. It is so beautiful.
This church was built in memory of Francis Xavier, who was hailed by the Catholic Church as "the most heroic pioneer warrior and greatest missionary". According to records, Francis arrived at Shangchuan Island in 1552 AD. He died of illness in Shangchuan in the same year. There are now churches, monuments, stone statues, etc. inside.
