An extensive tunnel system built in 1943 by the Japanese military to defend against potential US landing operations in southern Taiwan. Part of an extensive network of tunnels dug into the Fengshan Hills, this section near Qingshuiyan is the best preserved, featuring single and double-layer passages constructed primarily of coral stone (咾咕石).

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.
