Sanzhi UFO Houses / 三芝淺水灣飛碟屋
|
From what I can gather online, this
place was built in the 70s as a resort
but was later abandoned. I couldn't find
any definitive explanation about why
exactly it was abandoned, however.
There's some talks about failed
partnerships and/or real estate bubbles.
Apparently the location is too hot in
the summers and too cold in the winters.
The fiberglass shells of these houses
certainly don't help with insulation. I
also couldn't find out whether they were
ever occupied in any capacity.
If you are in Taiwan, it's definitely
worth a visit. From Taipei, head towards
Danshui, get on Route 2 and follow the
direction for Sanzhi. It will be on the
left side of the road, along the coast.
You can't miss it. See the aerial view
from Google Maps.
