This video counts down 13 real ghost towns in Taiwan the island quietly steps around: the prison island whose cemetery was called the Thirteenth Squadron, the fishing village that carried its god away by boat in 1977, the UFO pod resorts that rusted for decades, the condemned hot spring town of Lushan, the leprosy quarantine village of Losheng, and Xiaolin, the village that exists today only as a grave. Every event is documented, every legend is labeled, and this is Hollow China's first step beyond China, exactly as the community voted.
