San Zhi


I am definitely going to mark this as one of the places I need to see before I die. San Zhi is an abandoned housing complex located just outside of Taipei, Taiwan. It's rumored that several fatal accidents occurred during construction which caused the development company, as well as the locals, to believe the site was haunted. Another speculation was that the developer simply ran out of money and halted all construction. The pods were built in the 1980s and were targeted as a holiday location for the rich of Taipei, however, there is very little conclusive information about San Zhi.

The Flickr site below provides some stunning shots of the complex along with a little blurb about it:
