For those who like sci-fi, this abandoned village in Taiwan is definitely for you. 

Video footage shows an abandoned village where people lived in ‘spaceships’ until the late 1960s and early 1970s. 

It’s thought that this village was abandoned due to a nearby redevelopment. 

The flying saucers are located in the Wanli District of Taiwan. 

Designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen, the UFOs were designed originally as ski chalets. However in this case they were used as a cheap alternative to affordable housing. 

There were several of these communities around the world.  

The houses typically contained a bedroom, bathroom and small kitchen. They also had a fireplace and six plastic lounge chairs. 

However with the soaring price of oil and rising cost of plastic products, the homes became no longer affordable and were mainly demolished. 

Bob from Heerlen, The Netherlands says the site in Taiwan is a unique place because there are only a few UFO villages left in the world. 

He says: ‘One of the UFO houses seemed to be well preserved and gave a good look at what living inside these houses must have been like. 

‘Although the design was from the 60s and 70s, I still had the feeling I was walking in a futuristic village.’ 

Bob says it’s unclear when the UFO houses became abandoned but it was probably down to a nearby redevelopment. 

However he says some of the houses are still inhabited.
