The Abandoned City San Zhi

The Abandoned City San Zhi

Talk about ghost city, this must be the next best abandoned city after the Chernobyl Town. originally built as a luxury vacation retreat for the rich, it was abandon due to numerous fatal accidents during the construction. According to rumors, this ghost city is now haunted by those who died building it.

The area is called San Zhi. There are no named architects since the whole site was commissioned by the government and several local firms. I guess this project may never be restarted and with these rumors going spreading like wild fire, there would be no value in re-developing the area for other purpose, anyway destroying homes of lonely spirits is a bad thing to do, unless you’re in Singapore, when land is so limited. You got no choice but to dig up the dead and convert the tranquil resting ground for 58,000 dead into 12,000 centrally located, high-rise apartments for the living.
