The Crystal Church is located at the boundary of the North Zhao Salt Fields and the Central Zhao Salt Fields. The western coastal area is flat and open, with salt fields being the dominant landscape in earlier years. The mounds of salt protruding from the surface inspired the design of the Crystal Church, connecting large and small salt mounds as its conceptual imagery. The main color scheme is based on the white of salt, taking inspiration from the translucent appearance of crystallized salt, combined with the church's intention to comfort countless patients with black-foot disease, hence the name "Crystal Church." Completed in 2014, the Crystal Church has become a popular spot for wedding photography, offering expansive and serene views, where one can gaze towards the Xishan Mountain, "Dog Mist" and the Brine Tower to the south, as well as access the Jingzaijiao Salt Fields to the west.
