A brick and stone railway tunnel constructed in 1917 during the Japanese colonial era to facilitate cargo transport between Keelung Station and the western piers of Keelung Harbor. The 155-meter single-track tunnel was decommissioned in 2003 when the harbor line ceased operations, with its tracks subsequently removed. It is now recognized for its historic value but no restoration efforts have been undertaken.

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.
