In the early years of Taiwan's southwestern coastal region, residents suffered from Blackfoot disease due to long-term consumption of arsenic-laden groundwater, causing much physical and mental anguish. During this period, the establishment of the Beimen Christian Church provided spiritual support for the patients. The church collaborated with Dr. Wang Jinhe to contribute to the physical and mental well-being of the afflicted. The building located behind the church is known as the "Beimen Little White House," which witnessed this significant history. It boasts a clean and elegant appearance and has recently become a popular spot for tourists to visit and take photos. Nearby, Yonglong Channel was the main shipping route for salt during the Japanese colonial period and was once a bustling landing site; today, it serves as an economic artery for local fishermen.
