● High Heel Chapel

Soon after its completion, the High Heel Chapel became a popular attraction in southern Taiwan. In June, it officially received Guinness World Records certification as “the largest shoe-shaped building.” Additionally, it is illuminated every Friday and Saturday evening, creating a romantic atmosphere unique to the High Heel Chapel at night.
