Beimen Islet Christian Church Introduction
In the early years of Taiwan's southwestern coastal region, residents frequently consumed arsenic-contaminated groundwater, leading to the prevalence of blackfoot disease. Many patients suffered profound physical and mental anguish. During this time, the establishment of the Beimen Christian Church provided spiritual solace for these patients. The church collaborated with Dr. Wang Jinhe to dedicate their efforts to the physical and psychological well-being of the afflicted. The building located behind the church is known as the "Beimen Little White House," which bears witness to this significant history, boasting a pure and elegant exterior. Recently, it has become a popular spot for tourists to visit and take photographs. Nearby, Yonglong Canal was the main shipping route for salt during the Japanese colonial period, once a bustling wharf. Today, it serves as an economic artery for local fishermen. Visitors can stand on the bridge to admire the beautiful scenery of the water village and feel the historical grandeur of Beimen.
