A tunnel originally excavated for the electric tramway used in the construction of the Wujie Dam. Named for the red water (紅仙水) that flowed from the earth during construction, likely due to high iron content in the soil. The tunnel was later renovated and widened to accommodate modern vehicle traffic.

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.
