Wanchin Church, Catholic basilica in Wanluan, Taiwan

Wanchin Church is a Catholic basilica located in Wanluan Township in Pingtung County, distinguished by two towers and a bell cote at the apex of the nave roof. The structure occupies a prominent position in the township and showcases religious architectural design.

Spanish Dominican Father Fernando Sainz built the first mud structure in 1863, which was reconstructed in 1870 after an earthquake struck in 1865. The building later received special recognition that solidified its importance in the region.

The church is named after the Immaculate Conception and serves as a gathering place for the faithful in the township. Visitors can see religious artwork and decorations that shape the experience of those who come here.

The church is open daily for visitors to explore at their own pace. Those seeking more information can speak with staff on-site or inquire in advance.

Each December, a traditional procession carries a palanquin holding a statue of Mary through the township streets. This event weaves together faith and local custom in a way few visitors expect.
