Tainan Attractions

北門嶼基督教會 (1)

In the early days, the residents of the southwestern coastal area of Taiwan often drank arsenic-laden groundwater, which led to the prevalence of blackfoot disease. Many patients suffered deeply from both physical and mental torment. During this period, the establishment of the Beimen Christian Church provided spiritual solace for the patients. The church collaborated with Dr. Wang Jinhe to dedicate efforts towards the physical and mental well-being of the patients. The building located behind the church is known as the "Beimen Little White House," which also witnessed this important historical period, featuring a pure and elegant exterior. Recently, it has become a popular spot for many travelers to visit and take photos. Nearby, Yonglong Ditch was the main waterway for salt transportation during the Japanese colonial period and was once a bustling wharf. Today, it serves as an economic lifeline for fishermen. Visitors can stand on the bridge to admire the beautiful scenery of the stilt houses and feel the past splendor of Beimen.
