Abandoned Places That Are Trapped in Time
| February 27, 2017
San-Zhi, Taiwan
These remarkable pod houses were originally built in 1978 as a luxury community, designed to attract both local and international tourists. However, construction dragged on, and things just seemed to keep going wrong. First a ceremonial dragon statue was destroyed to make way for a road, and then the remains of hundreds of 17th century soldiers were unearthed. Finally, the company shut down construction in 1980, and left what remained behind.
The San-Zhi site was a tourist attraction for years, but it was eventually bulldozed in 2010.
