A Chinese Ghost Town

So we kept driving along the coast near the cape and we came to this old Chinese building that housed a museum. I was wanting to go. The parking lot was dead and the place was as deserted inside as out. It looked like it had been really cool at one time, but had become dilapidated over time like everything in this area which was kinda sad. This area used to be popular with tourist in the 1970's but now apparently no one cares.
We went inside and the museum was closed. So we walked around the huge gift shop with random items and then just walked around the outside grounds since we were already there. It's a shame this building has been ignored because it looks like a lot of work was put into it when it was built. I guess because of the lack of public transport in this area and the fact that most Japanese now go overseas to Thailand or Bali or somewhere else for their holidays this place has been ignored in more recent years.
