The land in the name of the gods is for sale! Two land parcels in Tainan’s Haian shopping district are released, with reserve prices starting from 1.9 million

Recently, two commercial land lots have been released in the elite business district of Haian Road in Central and Western District, Tainan City. The base price starts from only NT$1.89 million. A closer look shows that the original registered landowner is actually "Lu Dongbin", one of the Eight Immortals. Among the 47 cadastral clearing lands recently announced by the Tainan City Land Bureau, these two prime lands registered under the name of "Ancestral Temple Lufu Xianzu" were tendered by the city government in accordance with the law due to unclear property rights. The bidding is expected to be opened on the 19th.

The Tainan City Land Affairs Bureau is handling the second batch of cadastral clearance land auctions in 2015. There are 47 bids in total, distributed in 11 administrative districts including Central West District, Shanhua District, Yongkang District, Anping District, and Qui Nhon District. The bidding is expected to be opened on the 19th.

Among them, the 4th and 5th land parcels that have caused heated discussions are located on Haian Road and Puji Street in the Central and Western District, which are crowded with tourists. They are both part of the Shangsi Commercial District. The fourth bid is about 7.36 square meters, with a base price of 1,897,740 yuan. The fifth bid is about 9.01 square meters, with a base price of 2,323,620 yuan. The converted land prices of the two land purchases are both about 258,000 yuan.

According to the official auction list, the original registered names of these two land parcels were "Xianzu Lufu of the Ancestral Temple". According to the National Cultural Memory Bank, Lu Xianzu is the well-known Fuyou Emperor Lu Dongbin among the people. Local sources revealed that in the early days of Taiwan, some land was often registered in the name of gods, associations of gods, or religious organizations. As time went by and organizations changed, the property rights information became incomplete.

The Tainan City Land Bureau stated that for this type of land whose ownership cannot be clarified through statutory announcement procedures, the government will auction it on its behalf in accordance with cadastral clearing regulations to resolve historical issues.

Zhang Rong, manager of Xinyi Housing Tainan Minsheng Store, analyzed that the Haian Road and Guohua Street business districts are densely populated by tourists and filled with merchants, which has the effect of clustering stores. The current price of land in the alleys of the district is about NT$250,000 to NT$300,000.

Local agents estimate that the unit price tendered by the Tainan City Government is also in line with the market. Although the area of ​​the two land parcels is not large, there are tourist crowds in the surrounding area. It is expected that interested bidders will combine their bids. If both successfully win the bid, the total land area will be about 16.4 square meters. The use plan will be more flexible. It is also optimistic that the land will have the opportunity to be sold off this time.
