38751 A picture made available on 24 July 2016 shows people
visiting the High-Heeled Shoe Church in Chiayi, western Taiwan,
23 July 2016. The church, costing around 686,000 US dollars, is
made with 320 pieces of blue glass and measures around 17 meters
tall, 11 meters wide, 25 meters long. The Southwest Coast
National Scenic Area Administration built it as one of its four
church-themed landmarks, to commemorate a woman who had her feet
amputated during the 1950s due to Blackfoot disease (BFD) and
could not walk down the aisle in high-heels for her wedding. The
glass slipper church was formally opened to public on 22 July.
