千越大樓是台灣最著名的廢棄建築之一。距台中火車站只有幾分鐘的路程，在台灣第二大城市台中中區的心臟地帶發現它真是令人驚訝。
屋頂的3層類似飛碟型的塔樓曾經是卡拉OK吧，可360度全景欣賞城市風光。現在，這座大樓大部分都散布着各種街頭藝術家噴繪的彩色塗鴉。
多年來很多廢墟探險者都來過無償探索，亦有不少好奇者來拍照打卡。最近有所謂「藝術家」要收100台幣才准進入，不從者用大木棒驅趕，疑似流氓行為。
這座混合用途的商業和住宅高層建築始建於1970年代。80年代有大型百貨商店，餐廳，夜總會和卡拉OK，但持續時間並不長。到90年代，大多數業主與居民一起搬離。2005年，7樓的一家舞廳發生火災，這終止了該建築的商業壽命。
The Qianyue Building is one of the most well-known abandoned buildings in Taiwan. Located only a few minutes from Taichung Station, it is astonishing to find it in the heart of central Taichung, the second largest city in Taiwan.
The 3-storey UFO-like tower at the roof was once a Karaoke bar with a 360-degree panaramic view of the city. Most of the building is now splattered with colorful graffiti spray-painted by various street artists.
Over the years, many urban explorers have come to explore for free, and many curious people have come to take pictures and post on social media. Recently, some so-called “artists” started to charge NT$100 for admissions. Those who did not agree were driven away with a baseball bat. Suspected hooliganism.
This mixed-use commercial and residential high-rise was originally built in the 1970s. The place was a home to huge department store, restaurants, night clubs, and karaoke around the 80s, but it didn’t last long. By the 90s, majority of the business owners have left, along with the residents. In 2005, a fire broke out in a dance club on the 7th floor and that put an end to the commercial life of the building.
