Mysteries of the Abandoned UFO Village

FILMING LOCATION: THE FORSAKEN UFO CITY OF WANLI, TAIWAN The alien spacecraft-looking structures were the brainchild of Finnish Architect Matti Suuronen in the late 1960s. The Futuristic design was an expression of creativity that was thought would attract buyers but the concept was a bit more altruistic as it was thought to be a viable answer to help solve housing issues all over the world.　 In the 1980s, the project was abandoned, leaving these strange UFO-like buildings standing on prime – though harsh – seaside real estate. Rumors of suicides, curses, and hauntings have been gleefully passed around as the village became ever more dystopian. Just a short while from the Yehliu Geological Park, the idea was to build a resort area of Futuro and Venturo houses – not to be confused with the nearby “Sanzhi Pod Houses” that were entirely demolished in 2010. Only about a dozen of the Futuro and Venturo houses remain standing. In truth, however, not all of these buildings are abandoned as they first seem; some people actually live here. In fact, one of the occupied houses I saw on my journey had a Tesla parked out front, a little bit of what the new future looks like. What the site lost as a high-end area for prefabricated houses, it regained as a tourist attraction.

Another star You fade away Afraid our aim is out of sight Wanna see us Alight Where are you now? Where are you now? Where are you now? Was it all in my fantasy? Where are you now? Were you only imaginary? Where are you now? Atlantis Under the sea, under the sea Where are you now? Another dream The monster's running wild inside of me I'm faded I'm faded So lost, I'm faded These shallow waters never met What I needed I'm letting go A deeper dive Eternal silence of the sea I'm breathing Alive Where are you now? Where are you now? Under the bright But faded lights You set my heart on fire Where are you now? Where are you now? Where are you now? Where are you now? Where are you now? Atlantis Under the sea, under the sea Where are you now? Another dream The monster's running wild inside of me I'm faded I'm faded So lost, I'm faded * Music in this footage: Alan Walker - Faded * Drone: DJI Mavic Air 2
