Following the huge popularity of the Crystal Church in southern Taiwan, the Yunlin, Chiayi, and Tainan Area Administration is set to unveil a uniquely designed “High Heel Church” at Chiayi’s Budai Seaview Park. The project is expected to be completed by the end of the year and is poised to become the next hot topic in the region.

The High Heel Church is located in Budai Seaview Park, Chiayi. It stands 17 meters tall at its highest point and is about 11 meters wide, with its exterior made up of over 320 pieces of glass. Its striking and beautiful design is not only the first of its kind in Taiwan but also the only one of its type in the world. According to the Yunlin, Chiayi, and Tainan Area Administration, the glass high heel symbolizes “the dream every little girl has of owning a beautiful pair of high heels to accompany her as she steps into a graceful and elegant life. In Taiwan, before a bride joins her husband’s family, she must step on and break a tile with her high heels, discarding all the bad things from the past, just like the broken tiles. From then on, everything is a beautiful new beginning.”
