位於台中火車站附近,有44年歷史的千越大樓,80年代有大型百貨商店、餐廳、夜總會和卡拉OK,遊客如織,但2005年一場大火後被廢棄多年。現在,這座大樓大部分都散佈著各種街頭藝術家噴繪的彩色塗鴉。
台中市政府在鄰近的「新盛綠川水岸廊道」即將完工,整治610公尺的灌溉河道,營造一條具旅遊及經濟效益的河岸,不樂見一幢廢棄的千越大樓仍然矗立河岸。
可是地主及大樓業權人在保留外殼或拆除重建的爭議仍然未有共識,規劃幾經更改,至今仍是未知數。
Located near Taichung Railway Station, the 44-year-old Qianyue Building has large department stores, restaurants, night clubs, and karaoke in the 1980s. Tourists abound, but it was abandoned for many years after a fire in 2005. Most of the building is now strewn with colorful graffiti spray-painted by various street artists.
The Taichung city government is nearing completion of the “Xinsheng Green Waterway Corridor”, which will renovate a 610-meter irrigation canal to create a tourist attraction and economically beneficial river bank. The authorities are wary to have an abandoned Qianyue Building still standing on the riverfront.
However, there is still no consensus on the dispute between the landlord and the building owner in retaining the shell or dismantling and rebuilding. The plans had been changed several times and are still uncertain.
