The San Zhi Resorts

San zhi might look like an outcropping of structures from an episode of Star Trek, but the site is actually home to the remains of an abandoned tourist destination resort in the north of Taiwan. The concept behind Sanzhi was futuristic pods that would function as summer villas for the affluent who wanted retreats from the city.

There is much speculation and legend associated with what caused the now abandoned resort Sanzhi to fail.  The most common reasons suggested were a combination of poor financial prospects combined with intense regional superstition. Workers have cited a number of fatal accidents during construction, some so severe it forced the contractor to temporarily stop construction.

This lack of funding combined with a high number of fatalities helped grow rapid speculation the land was cursed. Regardless the reason, too many had lost their lives in what should not have been a risky construction project. Unfortunately, the construction company responsible for the project has destroyed all records – possibly in an attempt to remove any evidence or proof of culpability.
