Monkey King Royal Garden (大聖御花園) - Spectral Codex

A former amusement park and resort in the mountains of Zhudong. It was established in 1991 and became popular in subsequent years. It was renamed Mystic Kingdom Forest Resort (神秘國度森林渡假村) in 2006 as part of an effort to restore declining business but soon suffered a fate similar to other amusement parks in Taiwan’s over-saturated market. By the end of the 2000s only a small number of attractions including the car museum were still open to the public. In 2011 it shut down completely and much of the site has since been razed to the ground. Whether anything of interest can still be found on site remains to be seen.

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).
