The An Binh tree house is truly a fascinating sight, an abandoned warehouse gradually being “swallowed” by giant banyan trees.
Anping Tree House is located at 708 Anping District, Tainan City, Taiwan. This is an abandoned structure, but over time, it was nature that made people pay attention to this building again.

The old brick building was originally used as a warehouse for Tait & Company, a foreign trade company from the last century. This Western colonial style architecture is completely different from the traditional houses.
Due to being abandoned for many years, a giant banyan tree has gradually “invaded” the house. The root and trunk of the banyan tree over time became part of the house. After more than 200 years, the brick walls in the house have faded and collapsed. Roots and stems grow to take over the walls, windows, doors and ground, making it impossible for the viewer to distinguish which part is the house and which is the tree.

Some traveler describes An Binh Tree House as something out of a fairy tale. Wander through the crumbling warehouse rooms, observing where branches and roots have penetrated the concrete walls, some of which are difficult to see as they are completely covered by plant parts .
According to Taiwanese folklore, the roots of the banyan tree represent negative energy. In the past, local residents always tried to avoid this house because they thought there was negative energy inside. For a long time, this place was known as the “haunted house” and became a mysterious place for the people here.

This creepy feeling finally ended in 2004. The government built an exhibition center around the tree house to introduce the history of the house and the ecological environment of the surrounding area.
Today, An Binh tree house not only retains the feel of an ancient ruin but also offers adventure into a giant “brick flower pot”. This place is also Pit stop Interesting for explorers as well as photographers.
