遥建梦幻水晶高跟鞋教堂A 16m-high glass church in the shape of a high-heeled shoe has been built in
Taiwan, apparently in a bid to attract more women.
遥建了一座高16米的水晶高跟鞋教堂,以吸引女遥游客。
A huge glass. . . what?
Yes, you read that right: a glass church, shaped just like a vast high-heeled
shoe as if lost by a titan Cinderella while racing through Chaiyi.
Made out of over 320 tinted glass panels, the shiny blue building measures
more than 10m wide and cost about T$23m.
It's set to open its doors to the public on 8 February, just in time for
Chinese New Year.
The shoe was inspired by a local story. According to officials in the 1960s,
a 24-year-old girl surnamed Wang from the impoverished region suffered from
Blackfoot disease. Both of her legs had to be amputated, leading to the
cancellation of her wedding. She remained unmarried and spent the rest of her
life at a church.
The high heel is intended to honour her memory.
