Unfortunately we have to change plans as there's a lot of rain incoming. This freed up this morning so we went a bit north to the coast and visited an interesting relic from the sixties. In Wanli a handful of "futuro houses" were built and abandoned in the eighties. Today they are rotting slowly away, but still looking kinda futuristic.
There are more of these houses which survived, you can find them on this site: https://www.thefuturohouse.com/

@ripper@chaos.social I'd happily watch a video series of someone renovating these.

Of course there's more to see at the coast than just these derelict houses. Yehliu Geopark is just 3km to the north (just 5 minutes by bus). It's a bit touristy, but still cool to see. On the peninsula, there are sandstone structures shaped by erosion. Some seem to be close to collapsing. #TripToTaiwan
