In the early years of Taiwan's southwestern coastal area, residents often drank arsenic-laden groundwater, leading to the prevalence of black foot disease, causing significant physical and mental suffering among patients. During this time, the establishment of the Beimen Christian Church provided spiritual solace for the afflicted, and the church collaborated with Dr. Wang Jinhe to dedicate themselves to the physical and psychological well-being of the patients. The building located behind the church is known as the "Beimen Little White House," which witnessed this important historical period, boasting an elegant white exterior that has recently become a popular spot for tourists to visit and take photos. Nearby, Yonglong Waterway was the main channel for salt transportation during the Japanese colonial period; it was once a bustling wharf and is now an economic artery for local fishermen. Visitors can stand on the bridge to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the stilt houses and feel the former grandeur of Beimen.
