You will visit a distinctive white house by the seaside park that has a nickname of ‘Taitung Howl’s Moving Castle’. It was built by a retired soldier in 1966 while he was still serving in the army, and he built it entirely by himself, from the wooden structures to the brick walls and all with using unwanted materials. From the outside, it looks to be a 4-story house but if you were to go inside, you would see it is actually six levels. Next, you will visit Kuiju, a beautiful and eerie abandoned Ninnan-style mansion also known as Minxiong Ghost House. The remains of the house are quite stunning, baroque pillars now wrapped in trees branches and vines, and whole sections of the exterior being close to being reclaimed by nature. If time permits before darkness falls, you might be able to visit the Da Yang Oil Depot in Dadu.
