God’s Own City in Taiwan

He must have stopped here for a rest – there’s no other way to explain all the churches. For me, Tainan is the most beautiful city in Taiwan. The old buildings, the narrow alleys, and even the somewhat run-down corners all contribute to its charm.

Xinglin General Hospital was once a landmark for urban explorers, not least because a Netflix film (Hospital) was shot there. Today, the place is well sealed off. The windows are barred, yet some people have tried their luck, apparently even sawing through the grates.

It seems God took a holiday here, less than 100 meters from Chihkan Tower.

The building has something of a dubious reputation. If you take the elevator up to the 8th floor of the Liho Hotel, you’ll see signs everywhere saying “No drugs.” Next door there’s a KTV. From the macho posturing of pockmarked men in expensive cars, one can draw conclusions. In any case, there was once a raid on an illegal brothel there.Several floors have been abandoned.

It can’t be a good thing when young men move straight from the SpongeBob fan club to Netflix, can it?
