Wanjin Catholic Basilica - Wanluan Township

This is the oldest cathedral in Taiwan, about 150 years old. Situated in a wild open square and garden, its ageless and spiritual looks is rare for a small town in southern Taiwan. Some small aboriginal kids were playing there when I visited it. They made this quiet place come alive. A completely different experience compared with a visit to the more abundant and popular local temples in Taiwan.

Glory church, Spain style building, history and peaceful.

Construction of the WanJin catholic church began in October 1869 and completed in December 1870. It is the oldest church in Taiwan based on the Spanish Basilica style, the only Basilica church in Taiwan I think. Pope John Paul II bestowed the church "Holy Cathedral of Mary" in 1984 and Taiwan recognized it as a national monument at the same year. The sculpture of Mary goes on a local pilgrimage on the second Sunday of December since 1870. Twice worshipers led the pilgrimage around Taiwan in 1991 and 2009. WanJinIs an uni?ue catholic town due to the long history of Catholicism here. The church is beautiful and the surrounding grounds are also very nice. I brought a rosary home. The church is hard to reach by public transportation therefore a car is needed. During the weekday when it is not too crowded, one could park the the car directly at the church ground.

The church itself is not spectacular but it is full of history. It is the oldest cathedral in Taiwan and its spiritual look is rare especially since it is located in a small town in the southern part of Taiwan. The mass is solemn and holy. Great contrast to the temples around Taiwan. An interesting place to visit!
