Dakeng Ghost City (大坑鬼城) was a failed housing development in the hills of eastern Taichung. It was formally named Taichung Lingxiu (台中嶺秀) and sometimes referred to as Dakeng Guicheng Alley (大坑貴城巷). Construction began in 1995 but the company experienced turmoil and was not able to complete the work. It was very popular with the urban exploration community for much of the 2010s. Demolished as of 2023.

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.
