The ghost town of Sanjhih Taiwan.



Here's a rough translation from a Chinese article about it.

In late 70's, a keeper of a rubber company worked out the prototype of the UFO house using his own factory. He want to build a contempoary style holiday resort. However, the rubber company closed down in the energy crisis in 1980. The UFO houses that was just begining was sealed up by the bank. In that time, there was only foundation and FPR compoments.

In 1989, a development company bought the unfinished UFO houses. It costed 7~8 hundred million new Taiwan dollors. They planed to make it 5 stars resort hotel with the first yacht dock in the north coast of Taiwan. According their plan, the FPR UFO structure will be white, and there will be swimming pool and rockery in the garden

In the winter of 1989, almost a year after they reactivate, they decided to shutdown because of the dissension of the investors. The development company has inversted more then 1.5 hundred million in building it, but they didn't finished it. Then the buildings was abandoned until now.
