article about the history of the UFO
house in Sanjhih.

I tried to make a brief translation
with my poor English:
--
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 contemporary 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 untile now.

There are many rumor about this place,
but many of them are groundless and
baseless. Such like the place is haunted
or they found many dead body under
there.
Recently, news reported that the
Government order the development company
to dismantle the houses before the end
of October, or they will force to do it.
The reason is that the ruins bring some
problem of public security and cause
damage to the look of the town.
