In the early years of Taiwan's southwest coastal area, residents often drank arsenic-laden groundwater, leading to the prevalence of black foot disease, causing many patients to suffer both physically and mentally. During this period, the establishment of the Beimen Christian Church provided spiritual support for the patients. The church collaborated with Dr. Wang Jinhai to dedicate efforts to both 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 history, featuring an elegant white exterior. Recently, it has become a popular spot for tourists to visit and take photos. Nearby, Yonglong Canal was the main waterway for transporting salt during the Japanese colonial period. In the past, it was a bustling ferry terminal, and today, it serves as an economic artery for local fishermen. Visitors can stand on the bridge to admire the beautiful scenery of the waterfront homes and feel the former splendor of Beimen.
