The Perfect Spot for a Selfie: Rainbow Church

The Rainbow Church is located on Cijing Island. The beach and the ocean in the background and the waters surrounding the Rainbow Church makes it the perfect setting for selfies, usies, or group photos with friends, family, and pets. It’s also a magnificent setting for wedding portraits.

Unlike most photo spots, there’s no best time to go. Great photos can be taken anytime of the day. If you go during the day, the blue skies will accentuate the bright rainbow colors. If you go during dusk, the warm colors of the sunset sky will give your photos a beautiful rosy hue.

Inspiration

It has a pink cross symbol in the alter, but many will argue it is not really a “church.” Rather, they are impressions of a church. Ultimately, the Rainbow Church is really what you make of it and what is meaningful and personal to you.

Architecturally, the square nave is more identifiable, while the alter is more abstract. Here are some photos of real churches and cathedrals to compare.
