A coal mine in the Shen’aokeng (深澳坑) valley, part of the historic Liukeng (六坑) area in Keelung originally opened by Kada-gumi (賀田組) during the Japanese colonial period. The mine passed through several owners before becoming Jinyi Coal Mine in the post-war era. Operations ceased abruptly in July 1978 when a flooding disaster at the nearby Xinyuan Coal Mine (新源煤礦) inundated interconnected tunnels, affecting four neighboring mines and putting nearly a thousand miners out of work. The main portal, a ventilation shaft, and a rusted winch on the hilltop still remain.

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.
