Buddha's World (佛陀世界)
A fairy tale castle in the mountains? Buddha's World (佛陀世界) is an abandoned theme park laying in Taoyuan & Hsinchu counties. The place is now used for Buddhist practices and is open to visitors only on weekends from 9 am to 3 pm. The entrance is completely free.
The theme park, originally named Fairy Tale Land (童話世界), opened over forty years ago. It was eventually forced out of business by the local government a few decades ago due to environmental issues concerning water conservation in the Shihmen Reservoir.
Later, the place was purchased by a Buddhist sect with plans to develop it into a Buddhist theme park for tourists. However, the same environmental concerns prevented any construction from taking place.
The ruins of the Fairy Tale Castle are the main attraction here. The building appears destroyed and overgrown with trees but still provides a good backdrop for pictures.
Unfortunately, it has started to rain. We have only been here for half an hour and now we have to head back home. It's a pity because our place is an hour's drive from here, but we can't stay in the mountains for too long.
