“Sanjhih is a small town on the north coast of Taiwan, near Taipei. In late 70’s, a keeper of a rubber company worked out the prototype of the UFO house using his own factory. However, the company closed down in the energy crisis in 1980. In 1989, a development company bought the unfinished UFO houses. They planned to make it a five stars resort hotel. Almost a year after, they decided to shutdown. Then the buildings was abandoned until now.”.
