The San Zhi is a ghost town/tourist resort located just outside Taipei, Taiwan. The exclusive San Zhi resort consists of 90 buildings. It was supposed to be the destination for the affluent who wondered what it would be like to live inside a flying saucer.
The buildings at the San Zhi resort , or Pod City, resemble Futuro houses; round, prefabricated houses designed to look like flying saucers. Construction started around the 80s but was quickly shut down after a series of mysterious on-site fatal accidents.
There is actually very little official information on San Zhi. Locals even refuse to go near it. Nonetheless, the pod-like buildings became a minor tourist attraction due in part to their unusual architecture. The structures have since been subject of a film, used as a location by MTV for cinematography, photographed by people, and become a subject in online discussions, described as a ghost town or "ruins of the future".
