Most Expensive Fallow Fields on Earth

Found this great article about the vacant property found right facing the 101 tower that many visitors pass by and wonder about.

"Insulated from modern Taipei by a thin wall of knotweed, a gingham-shirted farmer adjusts his wellies and sprays insecticide on what, at an estimated $1.2 million (£725,000) each, are probably the most expensive cabbages on Earth."

I always wondered about that plot of land and how it could sit there like that being used for farmer's fields.

Not that there's anything wrong with farmer's fields, of course!

Now I know. Thanks Dave for solving the mystery!

Amazing!
I would sell that plot at lightning speed, so the nonchalant attitude of that land owner is incredible to me.
