Nankeng Coal Mine, known to locals as China Coal Mine (中國煤礦) after the state enterprise once tied to it, operated out of the hills of southern Beipu. It was operated by Guo Huoxing (郭火興) in 1984 but the site vanished from mining association records in 1987 and presumably closed around then. A reinforced concrete adit survives, unusually solid and well preserved inside, alongside a derelict mine building.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
