:format(jpg)/taiwan/taipei/beitou/beitou-royal-hotel-1.jpg)
A long-abandoned hotel at the far end of Wenquan Road (溫泉路) in Beitou. It was likely established in the mid-1960s and probably closed sometime after prostitution was banned in Beitou in 1979. Although it is famous within the urban exploration scene the site is not the safest to explore; exercise appropriate caution when visiting. It was located immediately to the north of Meijia Hotel (美家莊).
Warning: this location is abandoned, hazardous, or otherwise neglected and may be unsafe and even dangerous! Exercise appropriate precautions when visiting.
警告：此處已廢棄或長期無人管理，可能存在潛在危險。造訪時請務必提高警覺，並做好相關安全防護措施。

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
