Cinderella shoe church under construction in Taiwan

A church in Jiayi, Taiwan built in the shape of a Cinderella-like glass shoe has created headlines ahead of its proposed opening prior to the Chinese New Year. It is 17m high and 11m wide, and made of

320 pieces of glass.

Constructed almost entirely from glass, the main structure of the building took more than two months to be built. Hype surrounding the construction has already led to traffic jams nearby from curious commuters.

Head of the project, Zheng Rongfeng, stated that the church will be open to visitors before the Chinese New Year. It was built for couples to get married and take wedding photos and it has a huge traditional significance.

According to their tradition, the bride needs to wear high-heels to tread on tiles and then throw away the shattered pieces before stepping in the bridegroom’s family, which signifies the end to past misfortunes and the beginning of a better life….. a Nigerian couple r billed to b d first to wed there…..
