Baptist Church, Yangzhou (Chinese: 扬州浸会堂), locally known as Baptist Church, Xianliang Street (贤良街浸会堂) and Chapel, Cuiyuan Road (萃园路礼拜堂), is a Protestant church located in Guangling District of Yangzhou, Jiangsu, China.

History

The church traces its origins to the former Lingquan Teahouse (灵泉茶馆). The International Mission Board bought it in 1917 and reformed it as a church in 1923. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Imperial Japanese Army commandeered it and used it as a cinema and cafe house. The church was restored and redecorated in 1946. The church was closed during the ten-year Cultural Revolution. It was officially reopened to the public in 1981. In January 2008, it was designated as a municipal cultural relic preservation organ by the Yangzhou government.
