We started off from Menglian to visit a Christian church in a Lahu Ethnic Group area Called Nuofu Township.
The church was built in 1922.Since 1885.after the Great Britain colonized Burma,West churches began to spread Christianity in our country’s border areas where Lahu and wa Nationalities lived .It is said that an American priest ever went to the Lahu and Wa people areas many times to spread the religion,enrolled and converted a number of local ethnic people.

The church is a fenced building modeled after the typical Lahu building style,with a total area of about five hundred square meters The design featare is somewhat unique,with a tint of western style.It certainly has a historicaI and artistic value.The keeper of the church told us,the Lahu people here a11 believed in Christianity.In such an out—of—the—way place where people are still very poor,maybe the religion is their spiritual cornfort.
