Nestled along a short stretch of coastline in Northern Taiwan lies a strange complex known as The San-Zhi Pod Village. This abandoned futuristic luxury vacation spot remains a complete mystery to locals and tourists alike. There are several stories surrounding the circumstances that led up to its abandonment, but no one seems to know exactly why or how the site fell into such a state of disrepair.

    Were these apartments at one time? Very strange, where is this located? I'm fascinated now :) This would be something to consider entering into the World of tomorrow or WTF theme. Cool shot!
