Really neat post from HERE about 7 abandoned cities and places in Asia. I’ve passed by this “pod city” alot of times, and everytime it really creeps me out. Aside from those pods, there’s this huuugeee red dragon statue that marks the entrance to it. (I’m not sure if it’s the entrance, no one really knows why it’s there).

According to the post,  it ” was supposedly built by the government of Taipei to be a luxury resort for expensive holidays on the water. Built in the 1970s or early 1980s the modularity of the designs has raised retroactive suspicions that perhaps these stacks were intended to be built vertically over time. Theories on the abandonment of this massively strange undertaken range from poor insulation in a difficult climate, the dissolution of business partnerships, the failure of a regional real estate bubble or even that so many workers died during construction that the place was abandoned as haunted- unable to be destroyed out of a cultural taboo on interfering with the homes of spirits and lost souls. “

Pretty cool ey? Check out the post for more abandoned cities.
