In the early years, the southwestern coastal area of Taiwan was popular with a disease called "Blackfoot Disease" due to the residents' long-term consumption of arsenic-contaminated groundwater. Many patients suffered from physical and mental torture. During this period, the establishment of the Beimen Islet Christian Church provided a spiritual refuge for the patients. The church collaborated with Dr. Wang Jin-he, and together they contributed to the physical and mental well-being of the patients. The building behind the church is known as the "Little White Palace" and serves as a witness to this significant historical period. With its elegant and white exterior, it has recently become a popular spot for tourists to visit and take photos. The nearby Yonglong Ditch was a major salt transportation route during the Japanese colonial period and was once a bustling ferry terminal. Today, it remains an essential economic lifeline for fishermen. Visitors can stand on the bridge and admire the scenic beauty of the "water village" while experiencing the past glory of Beimen.
