Abandoned – San Zhi – Taiwan

San Zhi, Taiwan is an abandoned vacation resort on the northern coast of Taiwan. It was built in the early 1980s, but construction of the futuristic resort ceased after a series of fatal accidents. People who have travelled to this resort, didn’t go on vacation, because the resort never opened to the public.
