A Japanese colonial era military tunnel network behind Weiling Temple (威靈宮) at Shuiwei Fishing Harbor (水尾漁港) in Jinshan, New Taipei. The unlit passageway, 361.5 meters in length, connects to a parking lot behind Chengtian Temple (金山承天宮), was part of the coastal fortifications once used to defend nearby Keelung. Although partially open to anyone curious and daring enough to explore, the tunnel is not maintained and may be dangerous to enter.

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.
