GUANGZHOU: The big new mechanical clock strikes at every hour, heralding a new beginning for the Sacred Heart Catholic Cathedral in this South China city.

The cathedral in Yide Road in downtown Guangzhou is popularly called the "Stone House" because it was built mostly with granite stones.

The 1863 structure was repaired at a cost of 20 million yuan ($2.56 million), and opened to the public after two years recently.
