So we are at kenting right now

We arrived kenting Saturday night
About 3 hour drive

Had dinner
And went on a super dope adventure with my brother.

So it's a closed down theme park called Space Port 9 星際碼頭
I remember when we stayed in this same hotel when we were still in elementary school about 10 years ago, this theme park was filled with people.
Tonight we decided to "break in" the closed down theme park. It's not even securely locked down. We could just walk inside.

Anyway, it's super spacey inside. Like huge!!! it would take us at least 3 hours to explore everything hastily. It would probably take up half a day if we were to investigate every room and every cabinet and every drawer. 
Everything was pretty much rusted and rotted. And as we walked around and went to different rooms such as office rooms, restrooms, dining room, pub, dance floor, employ physical training room, and some entertainment facilities, we concluded that the theme park closed down in 2002 which is 11 years ago.
I also picked up several items along our investigation.


We also found several items that was not related to the closing down like alcohol bottles, cigarette buds, cups, and a 2013 rave party ticket.
And we came to a conclusion that an unrelated organization held a party earlier this year at April even though it's all crappy. They also decided to locked up several places for security and safety reason.
We also checked the fire extinguisher and the date they last checked the condition of the extinguisher was Feb 2013. Which means that the employees of the hotel still came in to check stuff.


Anyway, it was a lot of fun to walk around an abandoned place with a flashlight and to try to figure out the story behind stuff.

Further investigation on the web revealed that they reason behind closing down was that the facilities failed the safety requirements. So they were forced to close down. And they probably weren't earning enough to renew the facilities.
The company was called 城市育樂 according to our evidence. It no longer exsists.
