 Deserted Hotel from 1960s Opened in 1969, the hotel boasted approximately 200 rooms and featured a bowling alley, restaurants, and video game arcades, making it a popular tourist attraction in the area. The building cost around NT$100 million to construct and had strong political and business connections, which explains why the illegal structures have not been demolished. With the government's abolition of prostitution in 1979 in the area, coupled with the business owner being defrauded, the number of customers gradually dwindled, and the building eventually became deserted, standing as ruins today. Furniture and fixtures are scattered, and there are traces of a fire.
