Residents claim that a section of the grain of a wooden door in a Chiayi County house resembles the face of the man who built it more than 100 years ago, attracting the attention of a foreign TV station.
Liu Ming-chih (劉明智), a village elder, said the likeness was not the result of any human intervention.
The home is located in Anching Village (安靖), Meishan Township (梅山), Chiayi County, which is familiar to people interested in the history of Chinese migration to Taiwan.
The home belongs to the Yangs, but stands empty because the family has moved away, said Lo Ching-chou (羅清洲), the village chief.
Liu said the Yangs claimed the "face" in the door resembled that of the man who built the house.
Japanese TV station NHK sent a crew to do a report on the door on Friday.
In addition to the "face" in the door, Lo said the paintings in the lobby of the house were also worth seeing.
