A road tunnel completed during the Japanese colonial era in 1929 in the eastern outskirts of Caotun, Nantou. Part of the tunnel collapsed in 1944 and it was superseded by another route. The western entrance is relatively easy to find and features a nameplate in Japanese, while the eastern entrance is overgrown and mostly covered by debris behind a wall next to the main highway.

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.
