Bali Tunnel (八里坑道) - Spectral Codex
八里坑道
Chongqing No. 4 Tunnel (八里重慶四號坑道)

An extensive military tunnel and bunker complex on the side of Guanyin Mountain in Bali, New Taipei. Much of it was constructed by the Japanese in the early 1940s but the system was later expanded by the ROC in the early post-war era, as it guards one of the main approaches to Taipei. Public interest in the site increased in the early 2020s but this led the authorities to more carefully seal the primary entrance to the tunnel network. Even so, multiple points of entry remain scattered around the area, including in the nearby cemetery.

Warning: this location is abandoned, hazardous, or otherwise neglected and may be unsafe and even dangerous! Exercise appropriate precautions when visiting.
